has gloss | eng: The Bugatti Type 32, commonly called the Tank de Tours, was a streamlined racing car built in 1923. Four examples were made, each with a 2.0 L (1991 cc/121 in³) straight-8 engine based on that in the Type 30. "The Tank" finished third in the ACF Grand Prix that year. This was the first Bugatti to be fitted with roller-bearing big ends in order to improve the bottom-end reliability (Bugatti was rather later than most manufacturers in the incorporation of a fully pressurised oil system, preferring a splash "spit and hope" delivery method). The Type 32 also broke new ground (for a racing Bug) by using a three-speed and reverse transaxle unit, the exceptionally short wheelbase and long straight-8 engine making a conventional gearbox difficult to accommodate. It also heralded an embrionic hydraulic front brake actuation. |

has gloss | ita: La Bugatti Tipo 32, anche nota come Bugatti 32 Tank e Tank de Tours, era una vettura da competizione realizzata per il Gran Premio di Francia del 1923, tenutosi il 2 luglio presso Tours. Il soprannome della vettura deriva dalla particolare forma della vettura, che ricordava quella di un carro armato, tank, e dalla località del Gran Premio. Un'altra Bugatti da competizione si meritò il soprannome di Tank per la sua aerodinamica, fu la 57G Tank del 1936 |
