Engine & Performance

What made the Type 41 Royale such an impressive vehicle was its power. The original model was built with an 8-cylinder in-line engine connected to an overhead camshaft.

The engine block was massive allowing it to look intimidating. A modified version went into production which yielded a 2.7-liter engine. There are three valves per cylinder which was common among the Bugatti models produced during the era.

The power output of the engine was 297 horsepower at 2,000 rpm. While not the fastest car on the road, it certainly was faster than other models in production at the time.1932-Bugatti-Type-41-Royale-in-the-garage-B
