The Bugatti 100 was a highly innovative racing aeroplane designed and build in France just prior to World War II. Because of the war this aeroplane never flew, but a replica made its first flight in August 2015.

The Bugatti Model 100 was a racing aeroplane designed and built by the Bugatti company to compete in the French Deutsch de la Meurthe Cup Race in 1939.

Design work began in 1938 and included many novel features including a V-tail, two engines mounted behind the cockpit driving separate contra-rotating propellers and a high degree of streamlining.

It was not completed by the September 1939 deadline and did not fly before the German occupation.

It lay undisturbed during the war and is currently on display in a United States museum.

An almost exact replica of the Bugatti 100 has been made in the United States and made its first flight on 19 August 2015.

This kit represents the sole Bugatti 100 as it might have appeared in 1940.
