Driving Pur Sang's Bugatti Type 35 race car 

When the Veyron was replaced by the newer faster Chiron, people don't really care about the Veyron. When the Chiron is replaced by its newer, faster successor, people won't really care about the Chiron. But decades from now, this Type 35 Replica will continue to be an incredible work of art, speed and excitement. It wasn't about sticking the most cylinders and turbos into a car to make it fast. It was about making a car that stripped out everything besides what made it go.

I would have one in an instant. I would come back from a drive exhausted, ears buzzing, hands sore, and cheeks creased from the sheer joy of that drive. Its exactly the kind of car you wake up at 2am just to drive fast down your favourite stretch of road, alone, dim cabin lights, cold air biting your face, that orb of tarmac ahead in the headlights your sole focus. maybe someday. ;(

I've seen the Matt Farrah video on this company, but there was something magical about this take. Thank you very much for amazing product and keep it up.

You can drive it all day and sit an look at it all evening. Park it in the living room.

I couldn't get over the sound the Type 35 was making. I never imagined that the Type 35 sounded that demonic. Would Ettore Bugatti think that the Veyron and Chiron were for absolute wimps? Absolutely awesome!

I'd rather have this over a Veyron.

Drive tribe right now is putting out the BEST content on the internet hands down. I'm loving it and I'm really excited to see where this will go.

That gearbox whine combine with the grownling engine plus the little clunck when you change gear... So sweet. Awesome review !

A car in which you could actually scrape your ellbows on the back wheels. A different time....

Beautiful, thanks for posting this, the sound is magnificent and your excitement is palpable.

I'd love to see one of their creations compared to the original! :D Not the first time I've seen one of their rolling artworks! But damn, still blows me away every time! Wish I could see it in person.

What an amazing car. The grin-inducing fun of the Morgan 3-wheeler, and more so, and that sort of old-world complexity and insanity of Jay Leno's steam cars, this Pur Sang is clearly in that ever-narrowing niche of cars that give total engagement. And it seems exhilarating and exhausting to drive. It made my life just a little better today learning that someone out there is making these, and others get to buy and drive them. Bravo!

That red thing on the dashboard looks like a bomb. 9:33

Brilliant,please please can we have more Pur Sangs? Alfa Romeo 8C parhaps?

That engine noise is incredible.

OMG the sound! Will you guys consider using a binaural mic system for the cabin sounds? E.g. 3Dio

The owner was *really brave* to let you drive that thing (or trusts you & your skill like mad) to allow that magnificent old machine to be driven on public roads in my view.

Apart from being the wrong colour blue this is a magnificent car!

No oversteer out of a corner "money shot", because youre no Chris Harris... The way Chris slides around on his video with the Pur Sang is breath taking...

bluddy brilliant - if I had the money one of these anyday over a modern supercar

In 1930 my great uncle bought a type 37 ....

Be for Bugatti was resurrected with the Veyron. EB110 gets no love yet again. Still this is stunning and although it's not cheap, its not priceless like a real Type 35. I believer Pur Sang even offer a version with roller berrings.

Wow, just wow!

The want is strong with this one Would you guys choose this or the alfa romeo 8c monza in that lovely red

Wild!

not that I could ever afford one of these, but what are the legalities of this in the UK? Would it need cycle wings or is there an exemption to that rule?

Volume is a bit low & muffled. Music is not needed.

Very nice video, your narration microphone audio is kind of bad, though.

My Dad had one , always said no car close to it, in a class of it's own. Spoke so reverently. I could never afford one. but i know.

A real, working one has been sold a few years ago for I-don't-freaking-know-how-many-millions-and-I-am-way-too-lazy-to-google-it-but-I-can-tell-for-sure-it-was-a-lot.

24 cars won 600 races.

250 000 dollars? sign me up.

Does anyone know why it seems to have positive camber on the front rather than negative?

Salut my friend super car super video subscribe subscribe ...

Jethro, I love you, but how big was the bet?

4:37.. well with a car with positive camber... that's to be expected... it want's to pull into every corner, infact it has positive camber because it will self powersteer your steering inputs.

Made in Argentina

I am a tad annoyed that the thumbnail calls it a F1 car.

They don't make them like they used too.

slightly slower change from 4-3 may have been better?

Even if this car is built after a very old design, it's basically a new vehicle. doesn't that mean it has to obey new regulations if you have to register it?

Look at that one then look at the Chiron

What about the EB 110? That car was like a McLaren F1 before the F1 was even built/designed.

This thing is terrifying: you sit on a flat, couch type seat that has no grip because it is made from leather and has no profile to hug your body in any place, no seat belts, skinny tyres, no brakes that you can sensibly modulate(not progressive, basically binary) and when they start biting the car tends to get sideways. The pedals are spaced so that you get extra excitement. It looks like it has longish wheelbase and a really narrow track with pretty high center of gravity which means it is pretty easy to roll. To exacerbate it has metal leafs for suspension. This car is basically a bathtub with wheels and probably drives like one. One mistake and you are dead. This is not a widow-maker, this car is for those whose daily routine starts by playing a few of rounds of russian roulette. Absolutely mental.

It's erroneous to refer to the type 35 as an F1 car. It is a grand prix car built thirty years before formula one was conceived.

You talk way to much

Worst car you drive, more careful you are.

Jeremy Clarkson once asked "Can a car ever be art?" Pur Sang: Yes!

Theres no other sound like the 35B type. That whine is beautiful 🥰💖 My ultimate dream car since I was 8 yrs old.

"Mr. Bentley... He builds fast trucks"

The Blue the France (French Blue) on a Type 35 is the most beautiful car color ever made, imho

Beautiful machine. Certainly one for the list if I ever win the lottery

Everything built to spec but they can't find the correct pot of paint...

Oh mon dieu! Cest la plus belle voiture du monde!

It reminds me of that photograph of Truman Capote dancing with Marylin Monroe.

Gave me goosebumps. One of the most powerful advertisements for a terrific car.

I thought they only had the hand brake- is this a modification that Pur Sang made- to have a pedal…maybe the hand brake only handles the rears? Also- shouldn’t he be pumping the fuel pressure every so often, or is that just something that you do at start up and gravity takes over once it’s running? Either way- I want one.

That positive camber

Imagine driving that car when it came out almost a 100 years ago.

this sounds kinda like riding an older sports bike from the 70s or the 60s. Like my old kz, it can be temperamental to start up, you have the choke to worry about, the gearbox clunks and sometimes 4th- 5th misses and you get a faux neutral, the starter doesnt really work so you have to kick it over more often than not for what seems like an hour, sometimes you just run out of gas if youre not careful or youre daring, and the tires leave so much to be desired that dropping your knee at 30mph feels sketchy sometimes. But Ive never had so much fun as I have riding that even with a 400cc motor

The moment I read the title I said this has to be a pur sang, Jay leno wouldn't let them drive his, and I won't blame him, that thing is so expensive...

True driving...it would be any petrolheads dream to experience this.bellissima🙂🙂

But why is the steering on the right?

For $250k, I'd want it to come with better alignment...

I shall have another Pur Sang in this lifetime. Earl M. Washington

I new bary price .the founding member or the buggati trust .

Which is the soundtrack?😍😍😍😍

So the roll bar is your head... Beautiful car though.

that left front tire was looking a little bald

Dear sir,watching you driving the type 35.One remark,being unsychronised this machine needs double clutching and most of all declutching.Shifting from 4 to 3,for instance,hit the clutch,put her in neutral,lift the clutch,rev her up,hit the clutch and it will slot in effortlessly.Writing takes all evening,doing just a second and the reward,great.......Very glad people are building and buying these great machines.

Drive the car and stop talking.

Ortega Highway! :)

Very nice. We are building a 1:4 scale version right now with CAD and 3d printing.

Why do you need background music when you are speaking to John? Bit annoying, just talk! No music, let the car sound be the music and the talking be raw, come on DRIVETRIBE learn a little...

it's hard to hear the engine above the gearbox whine. great video and great car. I would have liked it if he talked specifically about what the engine felt like.

people forget that these things raced on tracks with aweful surfaces and wernt like modern circuits with chicanes and stuff. useually high speed sweeping corners or public just roads and dirt tracks

Epic!

Used to Marshall at Prescott in Gloucestershire and sat in one a couple of times. Goodness what I'd give to drive one!

dtiving cars like this when they were new was normal for the racers this was what they were like no modern reference and actually the EB 110 resurrected the bugatti name nice vid

250.000 worth it these cars appreciates in value in time

250,000 grand for this is a bargan imo

Made me cry. Child hood memories. Poor dad .. to sell it!

One with a Viotti body please. Dear god...

Imagine slide no it around in the wet on those cheesecutters!!

What kind of porn music is that?

Watch The Jay Leno"s Alfa Monza

talk less, make us hear the roar of the motor, the grinds tickling !

The toe on those front wheels...

please CHANGE gears....

Замечательный автомобиль! Радует что такая раритетная техника всё ещё на ходу и в отличном состоянии.

"exact replica" then as soon as 0'41" Chinese red lever ball valve on kitchen copper tube and brass fittings...

What song ?

Excellent!

Good times !!

I am absolutely in love with this car.

but can you use it as a daily?

what is the price of so a car?

why dont they set the front tyres to 0 degrees camber instead of like 5 degrees Positive lol
