1931 Bugatti Royale Type 41 Cabriolet Esders

With the type 41 royale Bugatti presented the strongest, largest and most luxurious automobile in the world, characterized by unimaginable power and opulent equipment. For ettore Bugatti, the Royale was the culmination of his creation. A vehicle that knew no competitors in terms of performance, quality and image. A vehicle for emperors, kings and queens. Simply put, “Royale” – the Royal.

The Bugatti type 41 Royale ‘Roadster Esders’ designed and styled in 1932 by Jean Bugatti, the very promising son of the great Ettore.

It wasn’t until 1932 that Bugatti sold the first Royale to the Parisian industrialist Armand Esders.

Since Armand Esders only wanted to drive his vehicle during the day, the Roadster has no lights – giving it a more elegant look.
