Bugatti Type 37
The Bugatti Type 37 is a 1926-1930 voiturette racing car with a 1.5-liter inline-4 engine producing 60 hp, designed as a smaller, more accessible version of the Type 35.
The Type 37 is a more accessible version of the original Type 35. Different variations were made, including bigger engines, forced induction, bigger brakes and cosmetic changes.
The Type 35 was phenomenally successful, winning over 1,000 races in its time. It took the Grand Prix World Championship in 1926 after winning 351 races and setting 47 records in the two prior years.

Alta Voiturette 1938 GP Car
An early GP car built by Alta features a super charged 1,499cc engine producing 230bhp, with a 4-speed gearbox.
Known for making road cars, a revised voiturette design appeared in 1937, with independent front suspension. George Abecassis had some success with this design, winning a string of events before the Second World War interrupted. As soon as war was declared, Alta’s production capabilities were given over to the war effort, and production of the new designs was halted.

Tyrrell P34 (Six wheeler)
Designed by Derek Gardner, Tyrrell’s chief designer. The car used four specially manufactured 10-inch diameter wheels and tyres at the front, with two ordinary-sized wheels at the back.
The P34 was introduced in September 1975 and began racing in the 1976 season. It proved successful and led other teams to begin design of six-wheeled platforms of their own. Changes to the design made for the 1977 season made it uncompetitive, and the concept was abandoned for Tyrrell’s 1978 season.

Mclaren MP4/6
Honda’s 3.5-litre naturally aspirated V12. It produced roughly 735 hp in period specification and could rev to around 13,500 rpm. The sound of these engines is a huge part of why early-1990s F1 is remembered so fondly.
Senna drove the MP4/6 to the 1991 F1 World Championship, his third and ultimately final title.
The MP4/6 is particularly special because it became the last V12-powered
