The Bugatti type 13 torpedo is one of the Bugatti entries the open record knows by name and by date — in 1913, and by little else. That is not nothing: a name in the catalogue is where a car's story starts to be recoverable.
Where it sits
The cars a buyer would have weighed it against include the Alfa Romeo A.L.F.A 40/60 HP, the Vauxhall 30/98, the Packard Six. Its Bugatti stablemates include the Bugatti 57 Galibier and the Bugatti 8-cylinder line.
Owning one today
There is no federal ownership record for the Bugatti type 13 torpedo — it predates the complaint database or was never sold in the United States — so MotorJury publishes no running-cost figure for it. For a car of this age the price is set by the collector market and the condition of the individual example, not by a formula.
The record
The open record for the Bugatti type 13 torpedo carries no verified engine, output, weight or price yet. MotorJury does not fill gaps with guesses; this entry gives the model a home in the catalogue and grows as sourced specifications and photographs arrive. Corrections: corrections@motorjury.com.
