Lost archives: 1955 Type 102



















The Type 102, developed for the Russian propaganda machine during the cold war. Outsourced to Bugatti the vehicle was to take on the booming American car industry. Designed for Le mans, the ca used a mini reactor to increase its range and minimize stops. Major problems held back the design, the unstable reactor and heavy lead shielding. Unfortunately the Type 102 never ran, as a huge meltdown accident took place in the wilderness of  western Russia, ultimately ending the project.
