Once upon a time Bugatti could design cars.

There are fewer cars more worthy of Jalopnik. At this little automobile’s core lies the heart and soul of what creates a motoring enthusiast. It isn’t obvious and it isn’t loud, but it’s there.

It’s over 30 years old. What criteria need it meet beyond that? There are precious few contemporary survivors and it embodies a design and marketing philosophy that pretty well encapsulates its era.
