This little Bugatti shares its extraordinary finish with the Chiron Super Sport 'Golden Era.'

A few weeks ago, Bugatti unveiled the bewitchingChiron Super SportGolden Era, a masterpiece that pays tribute to Bugatti's past with detailed sketches littered across the bodywork.

The Little Car Company -该公司behind the Bugatti Baby II- has revealed a Baby II Golden Era, which features the same sketches found on the fabulous one-of-one Chiron. The company worked closely with Bugatti on the project and created a fitting recreation of one of Bugatti's finest custom cars.

The exterior features gradient paintwork, which subtly fades from Dore (French for gold) into a dark black metallic 'Nocturne' finish at the front. This particular Bugatti Baby II is adorned with iconic imagery from Bugatti's past and present. The dancing elephant - a hood ornament for the Royale 41 - can be seen on the side, along with gorgeous drawings of the original Type 35.

The Bugatti Baby II also features Bugatti's latest hits, with design sketches for the EB110, Veyron, Chiron, W16 Mistral, and more decorating the curvaceous bodywork.

As a nod to the Baby II's history, the tail features a visual of Ettore Bugatti and his youngest son, Roland, with the original Bugatti Baby. Remember, the version produced by The Little Car Company is an homage to the original created for Roland. He later went on to become an engineer.

Elsewhere, the Baby II Golden Era features exceptional black detailing. The wheels and steering wheel have been painted black, with the former benefitting from gold-painted EB logos. Even the charging point has been finished in black. Yes, it's electric. The Baby uses a 1.4 or 2.8 kWh battery pack, depending on the version.

The Base model uses a composite body, while the Vitesse has lightweight carbon fiber bodywork. The exclusive Pur Sang boasts a hand-formed aluminum finish.

The Base model is limited to around 30 mph, but the more potent Vitesse and Pur Sang derivatives can reach speeds of up to 42 mph. With a featherweight mass of about 500 lbs, it's reasonably quick, too. It's slightly bigger than the original Bugatti Baby and is a 75% scale recreation of the Type 35.

While the company has not mentioned who commissioned this exquisite Baby II, we wouldn't be surprised if it was ordered tomatch the Chiron Super SportGolden Era. It would certainly make for a beautiful display in any wealthy collector's garage.

If, for some reason, the Bugatti Baby II doesn't do it for you, The Little Car Company builds a host of exciting mini-cars. The latest is a driveable version of the '80sTamiya Wild One radio-controlled car. There's also aminiaturized version of the legendary Bentley Blowerand several other motoring icons.
