View source for Bugatti Type 33

The Bugatti type 33 drawings are dated from 1922 to 1926. Apart from the engine all major components are specific for the type 33.

The chassi shas curved side rails, sized 94x50x6mm channel section, and the usual rear cross tube and suspension arrangements, all of which were later used for the early type 43's.

A seperate clutch housing bridges the side rails approx halfway. The gearbox and rear axle were a single unit, having 3 forward gears, and reverse.

There are several drawings on the torque arm, ranging from a single tube with twin leather links to twin torque arms, as on the [[Bugatti type 28]] and [[Bugatti type 41]]

The gearbox housing was similar to the types 28, 32, 41 and 46, the trumpets identical to the [[Bugatti type 43]]

The gear change was similar to the [[Bugatti type 28]]

The engine would be very similar to the unit in the [[Bugatti type 30]]

The design of the Bugatti type 33 was for a 2 liter, four seater touring car, which was a development from the type 28 and type 30.

It is unlikely that a prototype was built, but many features were carried on in several later types, like the T38, T40, T43 and T44.
