The Bugatti Type 1 or Prinetti & Stucchi Type 1 was an automobile designed by Ettore Bugatti and produced by Prinetti & Stucchi in 1899. It had four engines, two on each side of the rear axle. The first real production Bugatti was the Bugatti Type 13. At the age of 17, Ettore Bugatti won a race at Reggio Emilia on the Type 1.[1][2][3][4]

Type 0

The Type 0 was the original "Bugatti" Branded vehicle being constructed in 1897, it was originally a Prinetti & Stucchi motorcycle, however it was fit with the 2 De Dion-Bouton motors, which was significantly more powerful then the Template:Cvt Template:Cvt Single in the Prinetti and Stucchi, with a Template:Cvt Template:Cvt De Dion-Bouton twin. Ettore would describe it as "Lethargically slow but fantastic handling". The vehicle would have three wheels. The car was a proof of concept for Bugatti for the Type 1. The car would be dubbed the Type 0 in 1913, and before then be laballed as just the "1897 Bugatti". It would ultimately remain a one off, and would be destroyed in World War I.[5]

Type 1

The Type 1 would be designed by Ettore while he was an apprentice at Prinetti & Stucchi. When the 1899 Reggio Emilia race was announced, Ettore was aloud to convert a Prinetti & Stucchi into a Tricycle so he could race with it. This original Type 1 would be fit with 2 De Dion-Bouton Singles, which unlike the Type 0 would be two engines put together instead of just being a twin. This car would also be a Tricycle.[1][5] The versions with multiple engines would be labelled the "Type 1/1" for the single motor version, "Type 1/2" for the twin motor version, and the "Type 1/4" for the quad motor version.
