In 1931 Bugatti updated the Type 46 into the 50, and of all the bodies made for it, this Coupe Profilee sketched by Jean Bugatti himself was the most dramatic.

Aside from the body ,the biggest attraction to the Type 50 chassis was its engine which produced 225 bhp thanks to a large displacement and DOHC valve train that was basically borrowed from Miller.

Of the 65 chassis produced, the most revered was the Coupe Profilee, which was an older design that dated back to the Type 46. These cars influenced later Bugattis including the Ventoux series of Type 57s.
