- PurSang Argentina doesn't build replicas. A replica is a car designed to look like an original, not to be an original. PurSang makes 100% accurate re-creations of prewar European sports cars, re-creating all the original parts, and using all the original plans and methods of production. Everything, from the engine casting, to the body work, to the interior, to the wheels, is made in house at PurSang and the result is a stunning machine that is indistinguishable from the original car, both aesthetically and dynamically. It weighs 1600 lbs, and is powered by a 2.3L Supercharged straight-eight making 140 HP.

Possibly the best One Take ever.
watch the gt40 one
the drifting episode with that asian photographer was my all time favorite
It would be if the actual driving part had been somewhere interesting. As is, Leno's Garage has a lot of videos with similar stuff to this.
acleansweep I said best One Take, not best car video ever.
that's what I said also
Such a lovely couple
lmfao!
This should be a top comment.
they a re not a couple, they are conjoined at the hip siamese twins
dat crammed arm position ;)
***** It is now
This is why people started loving cars. I hope some manufacturer out there is listening and realizes true driving enthusiasts don't care about the performance as much as the experience. Cars like this can teach so much to modern machinery that are so much better at everything, except actually at being fun.
Can't wait for the track footage, btw...
PS: I used to live down the road from where the shop is, in Newport.
unfortunately true driving enthusiasts make up a very small percentage of the people who buy sports cars, especially the high end ones. I would stand by saying that the average customer of a new Bugatti is not a true enthusiast, and rather just someone with too much money to spend
Morgan makes what you are asking for
the performance is actually quite impressive and this car is faster than most available today
lol, don't blame manufacturer, blame government regulations
Holy crap an inline supercharged 8 cylinder sounds amazing
this is the perfect car to show what driving is all about. absolutely blown away.
It makes me happy just knowing that someone out there is building these properly. What a car!

What a beauty! I was smiling the whole video.
This is the coolest car I've ever seen.
yes
This has to be my favorite one take to date! what a unique experience. Matt I'm jealous!
so true :D
Go watch him drive Alex Roy's Morgan 3 wheeler, its hilarious !
Yup ! That and the 3-wheeler put such a huge stupid grin on meh face... :B
Matt needs to put on some Goggles and a leather hat and drive this thing around, he looks right at home in it
He had goggles! But it was so hot, like 95 degrees out, I couldn't do it.
Dude... Dude... Dude... that's pretty cool.
He had goggles.. sun goggles.
TheSmokingTire
omg that's awesome he actually had the goggles. Maybe for track day!
Wow...just awesome. If this car does not move you, you are not a proper petrolhead. Not really my cup of tea, I prefer a little more modern cars, but wow...this is truly impressive. Unique and epic drive - and I will echo another post by saying that THIS and others like it are what driving is all about - the sensation, the feeling, the raw connection to the car....NOT pure stats and 0-60, 1/4, handling numbers, etc. etc. That is why Aston is revered today: they are not the fastest, but that is besides the point. Fantastic video Matt...your smile says it all.
John thank you for allowing Matt to feature and drive your Bugatti...you guys are living my dream! Awesome!!!!
I watched how Matt was driving and I had the same grin on my face that he had. And if I didn't have to work I immediately would have jumped into my Caterham and gone out for a drive in the sun. But today evening... :)
would you recommend i save up for a caterham? something is telling me that it would be a rewarding acquisition
If you are a car nut, if you love that oldschool feeling and if you want to have a car without ABS, ESP and all the other electronic gimmickery there are not many cars more rewarding than a Caterham. Yes, I recommend that.
which one do you have and yes I am totally jealous...
+7inrain ty that is true mechanical art.....
It is a Caterham HPC (Opel/Vauxhall engine with 2 litres and 165 bhp).
I would have one of these over a Veyron or Chiron anyday. Fantastic video, Matt! And thanks to John for sharing! What is the black GT car in front of it in the parking lot?
its a 1958 AC Aceca. The video of it comes out next week.
+TheSmokingTire Thank you, looking forward to it
Holy shit, an AC Aceca video?! So looking forward to it.
Those are awesome. The AC-designed engine and the Bristol-designed engines used in them are both great mills. The 2.6l Ford engine isn't bad, but it isn't as exciting as the two 2.0l sixes!
I'm with you on that!
woke up in an old bugatti
*Insert a bunch of rappers near an old Bugatti here*
Changing gear in that thing seems so satisfying.
I think this is one of my favorite-ever car videos. I LOVE this car. I am saving my pennies starting right now.
I thought the day I'd see Matt driving a car while sitting on someone's lap would NEVER come. Today he finally delivers.
Probably the best one take so far. It just sounds so mechanic, last car that I was in that sounded like that was a 90ish Nissan Patrol.
It's the same price (roughly) as a 488/huracan/720s! Easiest choice ever. This car is proper motoring.
Here in the UK, the company I work for make complete and parts for original and replica grand prix cars, even Auto Unions and Mercedes W125 & W154. These old grand prix cars have so much character and the noise is like nothing else! Mercedes supercharged straight 8 and Auto Unions supercharged V16s are amazing. It's great to see Matt driving a T35 that I make engines for! Hope you get the chance to do more cars like these!
Glorious. A car from a period where any successful A to B trip was not only an event, but a real victory.
Supercharging in 1927! That's badass! Sick car and thanks for sharing!
The first supercharged engine was created in something like 1880, and the first production cars had them in the early 20s. A lot of car technology that you think of as "modern" is actually quite old. The first DOHC car was produced in 1912, for example, even though most people think "pushrod is old, OHC is modern".
Didn't know they had superchargers back then, sick.
you learn something new everyday
Blower Bentley?
they were especially popular on aircraft. Turbos too, though those were not on road cars until much later.
They also had DOHC 4 valve heads in the twenties.
AllMightySnorlax, Gottlieb Daimler patented a supercharger in 1895, and Louis Renault got a patent for a centrifugal supercharger in 1902. Where have you been?
Interesting car. Really like the variety of cars on this channel. Thanks Matt!
So much emotion and happiness in one video. This is why people love cars and that's some real top end presenting too.
That looks awesome
Well look who's lurking in the comments. I found your channel way back when you did the one take with the kombi. Been following ever since, love your content. I think you should double down and go even more old school after the kombi; this one seems more reliable eh?
Kombi Life nice van
Thanks
Argentine pride baby. Great video! I've really enjoyed it.
That thing MUST be incredible to drive. The owner drove across the country in it, sacrificing his face. You have to think" Man I want to drive this car across the country, but it will be constant wind in my face and hard on my body. Eh screw my face and body, I'm driving this Bugatti across the country". Kudos to him. Great video Matt.
I honestly got goose bumps watching this video. Driving a Type 35 Bugatti just became a new addition to my bucket list.
This is probably gonna go down as one of your best videos , Matt . Second only to the video in which you whip that car round a track .
kids these days be like "140hp only tho?"
1600 lbs though. That's like buying a civic with 250 HP stock
Rolf Bjorn except one is a trash civic
1betterthanyou1 175 bhp per ton is really not bad either. Crazy for 90 fucking years ago tho. Like damn. Bugatti was some type of genius.
The auto union grand prix cars of the 30's had 550 hp and could spin their tires at 100mph. Engine technology was always the most advanced, with tire, suspension and braking performance falling behind.
Yeah...I like looking at it with power to weight ratio. Makes more sense. The Type 35's Power to Weight is similar to a 2000's BMW Z4. Impressive for something from the 20's
Track day video is a must now
This was an outstanding video Matt, thank you!
This has to be one of your top videos, this is so dope!
That is a passion for hard work. What a beautiful creation. It really was fun to see and hear the spirited straight away. Keep em coming brother.
The videos where Matt is genuinely excited are the ones that make my day.
I've seen Matt happy but never THIS happy - it must be one truly special car. It's incredible to see such an amazing machine being driven and used and not stuck in some glass case.
one of your best videos. just love it.
"I feel like such a boss!"
That shit made me laugh. This was amazing. Thanks, guys.
Lovely video Matt, thanks. 700hp Lambo's are nice, but this is why I love cars.
Before the 2000s and even before the 90s when it was brought by Italians, this is what Ettore Bugatti wanted to build. While it is more known for its modern supercars, it is great to see where the brand heritage came from. This type 35 is a beauty to behold.
Surprised Matt didn't notice he was behind a Prelude at 13:30 given his love for the 5th gens
he was on a different planet this entire video. after the Civic he heard the engine rev and he didn't see another car around them the entire time.
nbookie It sure seemed that way, but at least he had a good time
4th gens all day :)
Convertible Bentley right next to it as well.
Matt how dare you not include the footage of you getting into the car, I was all set for maximum hilarity.
100 people full time thats sick as hell !!! Man I have no mechanic experience whatsoever but I want to work for you for food and possibility to drive this from time to time !!! You must own the best car company out there now ! Thank you for doing all this. No words can describe this. Hire me !
I didn't stop smiling throughout, what an incredible car! I love Matt for his sheer, raw love for all cars, and have such appreciation for the heritage. Best thing I've seen on TH-cam in a LONG time, easiest thumbs up I've ever given.
can we get the video of John drifting the type 35?
+MONKY LONDON needs to use that patreon to get his arse over there so he can (totally not cos it t'was john honest) make this type 35 do donuts in the middle of the sunset strip!
Here we see a Matt Farrah falling deeply in love!
I can only imagine the type of guys back in the day that were designing and testing this stuff. They must have been some awesome guys to hang around. Seeing you two in the car reminds me of really old silent black and white movies with the two Red Baron looking guys and their leather skull caps and big goggles. And the straps for the cap are just flapping in the wind. I would love to work for the builder of this car, his attention to detail and historical accuracy is just incredible. Great video man
One of my neighbors is a retired heart surgeon/ racer and he used to own an original type 35. Used to go talk to him about it every time he brought it out. This car is as accurate to the original thing as you can get in my opinion, every detail is spot on. Great work to the guys at Pursang👍🏾
i apologies for the confession but i came several times.
why
this is getting better at every comment. thx
Saw one at a car show, love those old racers. PurSangs are big money though. Deservedly so. But for us with lighter wallets, probably a Morgan 3 wheeler is as close to that as will ever get.
Probably my favorite one take all time. The genuine enthusiasm from both of them is cool to watch.
Everything about this was fantastic. The world needs more people like him. I was grinning ear to ear the whole video.
Man! I'm so jealous!
What's the price on one of these replicas?
IIRC its around a quarter of a million dollars.
The waiting list is supposedly like 6-8 years too.
'Open road, go for it.' And that's exactly why beautiful things will always exist.
More than you can afford, pal
You know you are behind the wheel of a work of art when Farah becomes gitty and child like while driving. Amazing.
I cannot find words to express how awesome this car really is! The emotions felt while hearing this little beauty being driven was overwhelming! LOVE LOVE LOVE this car!!! Nice one Matty!!
Feels like I'm watching jay leno
Cought myself comparing this episode to Jay Leno's garage. All you need to beat him is a microphone and more classic cars :) btw, please remind me what's the maker of those sunglasses?
Dillon optics, smoke
Those are Dillon Optics Miller. Just bought a pair myself last week.
thanks guys
jshaw6600 what's the difference to, say, a mid-range Ray Bans?
dimstrix Price is comparable. The polarization is awesome though. Plus the matte finish lens gets a lot of people's attention.
I now regret skipping by this video in your playlist. The Type 35 video is great, both of you were fun and entertaining. I apologize for my biased preconceptions.
What a freakin' beautiful example of early motoring and automotive history. I bet this was an epic experience, I can totally tell by your excitement..
Those sweet mechanical noises...
Sounds better than a vtech
That's a low bar you've set.
LOL
Let not get carried away shall we...
sounds better than vtec too.....
I've watched this several times over the last few months, I think this is the most excited i've ever seen Matt about a onetake
Looks like an absolute blast to drive
the nostalgic gearbox noise and clunking of the linkage is so cool to listen to as its revving up. this car is a mad machine, im sure it was a sensational to drive
Matt the issues with the '32 Alfa 8C Monza, was that just the pedals being the wrong way around or was it the gearbox?
the gas pedal being in the middle was the hardest part, but then you had to also double clutch on the way up and down.
wiat, the T35 has sincros?
No it doesn't, but it meshes pretty well with just rev matching
Jonathan Edwards it's called double clutching
TST, Does the PurSang have plain crankshaft bearings instead of Bugatti roller bearings? All for the better as the RBs have a shorter life in that application, but just curious.
Compliments on the One Take series. Always interesting and entertaining. This vid even more so than usual.
Really looking forward to PurSang at the track day.
This one has BRB's but you can get standard bearings as a no cost option.
sounds so amazing
Leno said the plain bearings last far longer than the RB do.
TheSmokingTire if you notice the row of 3 classic instrument gauges are definitely not original…
Smiled the whole way through this, what a driving experience that would be! Great vid Matt.
I don't know whether to be more envious of this guy, John Ward, or Randy Grubb. They're all making epic stuff.
It sounds like a sport bike, a 1920s Hyabusa.
I thought it sounded like the whine of a triumph
A 1920's equivalent to the Hayabusa would be the Brough Superior, No? And if you want forced induction like the Buggati then you should be looking up DKW SS 250 or 350 and the absolutely gorgeous 1939/51 BMW RS255 supercharged Rennsport ;-)
The engine sound and the exposed cockpit reminded me of cruising on a liter-class inline 4 motorcycle. Sounds a lot like my CB900.
I woke up in an old Bugatti!
What a fantastic automobile! The sounds coming from this automobile are like a symphony in motion. Thank you for sharing!
Utterly amazing experience. I had a smile on my face the whole time just watching this! So cool. Thanks for sharing, can't wait for the track day footage!
Watering down the originals value by making these replicas so accurate
But its beautiful and I love it
Good. Maybe people will drive them
Well, if there's 25 originals, then that's 25 people who will be upset, but on the other hand there's all the other people in the world who are now more likely to get to see one drive past. So, I'd say on balance it's better that these Pur Sangs exist.
Not to the tiny handful of collectors who would ever buy one of these in the first place. Original always command a premium. Original AC cobras are still worth a mint even though there are 10,000 replicas driving around.
This is beyond a replica
Respect your elders
always
My favorite one take you've done so far. Driving pleasure through the roof!
This instantly went to the top of my bucket list of cars I have to drive before I die! What a beautiful car. Thanks for sharing it with us Matt!
isn't this the definition of a replica? Did Ettore Bugatti himself crawl out of the grave and have anything to do with this? NO it's a replica! we're taking the guy in the fedora word that it is the exact same.
No two Bugatti's were ever the same anyway. But yeah, I agree this was not made in the Bugatti factory in the 1920's, therefore it is by definition a replica no matter how faithful it is to the original.
Yes, it's a replica. But you know something? I don't care. If it drives like the real thing, makes the same sounds, has the same feel, that's what matters.
No... a replica doesn't have to have all the same parts, it usually just has to LOOK like the original. Like a factory 5 Shelby Cobra is a replica because you put whatever you want into it. This is as if Etorre Bugatti made more cars, as they are manufactured EXACTLY like they were in 1927. That makes it exact. Another company does this, Superformance, which Matt featured on this channel. Ford actually acknowledges the GT40's that company makes as legitimate GT40's, with their own chassis code and everything. So a replica is usually modern parts with an old body, or original parts that you put in a replica body. Which would be illegal in some states.
the fact is it is not from that year's production. it's a replica
no one said it isnt a recreation
so does it just take pump gas?
I would imagine they'd be fine, as modern gas is better quality than gas they had in 1925.
yes it runs on standard pump gas
CockatooDude, Yes but older vehicles needed leaded fuel to protect the valves. The lead acted as a lubricant. Modern gasoline would destroy those old cylinder heads if they dont have hardened valve seats.
c5natie1 Ahh, well the more I know.
So awesome Matt, one of the coolest one takes to date. That Bugatti is something special. Keep uploading great content!
Looks like a blast! Put a smile on my face just watching Matt drive that thing
Dont get me wrong, it may be accurate and it is certainly beautiful. However, its still a replica.
No, it's a recreation. A replica should just look like the car, a recreation is the same exact car. There is quite a difference.
Look up the definition of replica. This is the definition of a replica, to a T. I get that Pur Sang always works to distinguish what they do vs other replica companies in order to justify their high price (which is fairly justifiable); however, its still a replica.
I think the people that build these types of cars try very hard to not call them replicas because of the stigma associated. When I hear replica, I think of some kit car Shelby Cobra or some POS Fiero with a Ferrari body kit. I think recreation is a suitable term for a car like this.
Agree, exact replica is the proper term. Recreation is marketing speak. In any case it's an awesome piece and quite an accomplishment to build. The shear craftsmanship is amazing.
You are correct. But it's still a work of art and a lot of work.
It's not a Bugatti lol, it was made last year for christ sake. If it's not original it's a replica.
By far my favorite One take episode. I can't wait to see this Bugatti rip around the track! Cheers
This looks like tons of fun! Glad to see you enjoying yourself so much, Matt. Hopefully 4 years from now you're still doing this because my prelude and i want to do a one take with you
matt - you have stumbled onto a new venue. I absolutely love how mechanical the car is and how easy you show your joy for driving it. such an uplifting video! great job!
While watching this one take i realised that I am constantly smiling. Looks like great fun to drive one of those.
Been watching since the first one take. By far my favorite car that you've reviewed. Thanks for this
This and the Morgan 3 wheeler are some of my favorite videos. It looks like the most fun you can have driving. The Porsche's and Ferrari's have their place, but this is where it's at!
This is a great video Matt. It encapsulates the emotional pleasure that comes with genuine automotive enthusiasm.
My face hurts from smiling for this entire video. I totally want to drive one of these things! Thanks Matt! And thanks PurSang for sharing this. I finally feel like I understand the vintage guys now.
What a special and raw driving experience! Noise is delicious too.
This is right up there with the Huracan video as the best ST video ever.
best one take ever - what a blast drive. wish all car companies would make old school rides
Matt I must say, I have watched every one of your one takes, but man John adds something so fresh. From the moment he said "You gotta whip it" I knew he was my kind of gent. Great video man please bring some more content with him. Thumbs up!
I've never seen Farah so damn happy driving a car! Growing up, someone in my little podunk 5,000 person rural Maine town had an original one of these I'd see around. Always wondered how one would drive now. Thanks for making and sharing
A truly majestic car, looks and sounds amazing. Thank you Matt and John!
