Paris Expo Porte de Versailles
Retromobile is be held in HALL 1, the largest and most prestigious hall at the Porte de Versailles Exhibition Center, Paris.
For the first time ever, the Cité de l'Automobile in Mulhouse is presenting three of the Bugatti Royales at Rétromobile.
The Royales are the largests, the most beautiful, the most extraordinary, and the most fabulous cars. Ettore Bugatti built a car fit for a king, although no king ever bought one.
Despite its huge size (6.5 metres long) and its weight (3 tons), the Royale manages to be sublime and elegant. The 8 cylinder inline engine is a work of art in its own right. This polished metal monolith with a capacity of 12.76 litres churns out 250 horsepower. Its enormous drive train quickly takes the Royale to speeds in excess of 150 kph.

Industrialist Armand Esders ordered a Royale chassis in 1932 and Jean Bugatti designed a stunning two-seater roadster with a length of 6.5 metres. The car was simply sublime. This Royale was then sold and its new owner changed the bodywork, replacing it with a Binder body making it into a very classic-looking chauffeur coupé.
Jean Bugatti designed this stunning two-seater roadster for Industrialist Armand Esders in 1932.

The Esders Roadster has now been restored to its Jean Bugatti design by the Musée National de la Cité de l'Automobile in Mulhouse.
