The 100P featured cutting-edge aerodynamics with forward-pitched wings, a zero-drag cooling system, and computer-directed flight controls, all predating the development of the best Allied fighters of World War II. Powered by twin 450-hp engines, the plane was designed to reach speeds approaching 500 mph, a feat previously only achieved by aircraft with twice the horsepower. The 100P was also much more compact than most aircraft of the era, with a wingspan of nearly 27 feet and an overall length of approximately 25 feet. In June 1940, Bugatti stopped work on the 100P and concealed the plane to prevent its discovery by the German military. Though the plane survived the war, it was left in a condition unfit for flight.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In 2009, Scott Wilson, John Lawson and Simon Birney of Le Reve Blue began construction on the first ever recreation of the Bugatti 100P. Handcrafted using largely the same materials and processes as the original, the re-creation is dimensionally and aerodynamically identical to the original plane, and includes elements of the five patents that Bugatti was originally awarded for the 100P.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWe\u2019ve searched for years to gather the best examples of the Bugatti family\u2019s work, and couldn\u2019t be more thrilled to host the 100P at our museum,\u201d said Peter Mullin, Founder and Chairman of the Mullin Auto-motive Museum. \u201cBugatti has always been known for their remarkable automobiles, but the 100P is one of the missing pieces that truly shows the breadth and depth of the family\u2019s work.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Bugatti 100P aircraft will be on display among the largest assembled collection of Bugatti artifacts and automobiles at the Art of Bugatti exhibition, opening March 2014.
