Bugatti Pays Homage To Its Racing History With The All-Electric Baby II At The GP Ice Race | Carscoops carscoops
in 2019. Now, the brand is continuing its commitment to the pint-sized Bugatti by taking it back to its roots. Sixty years ago the real Bugatti Baby II competed at the GP Ice Race in Austria, and over the Jan 28-30 weekend, the Baby II EV returned as its safety car.
The Little Car Company, not Bugatti themselves, builds the Baby II EV which is limited to just 500 total units. Developed jointly between the two brands, the 75 percent scale, fully electric vehicle is completely hand-built and has a top speed of 42 mph , which made it a usable safety car at the GP Ice Race.
Of course, this wasn’t just a standard Baby II EV. Studded tires, safety car-style hazard lights, and a limited-slip differential all come together in what Bugatti calls ‘Ice Spec’. Those modifications can go a long way when it comes to providing traction to even the most powerful cars and that was proven at the event.
Lots of serious performance machines showed up to kick up some snow including a Ferrari Testarossa, a, and even the insane Aston Martin Bulldog. Those cars might have been upstaged by the Audi RSQ e-Tron from the Dakar Rally and Ken Block’s S1 Hoonitron, as well as Max Verstappen who showed up and drove some laps in his Red Bull F1 car.
