The Bugatti Type 36 was an experiment that began sometime in early 1926 by Ettore Bugatti. It was a race vehicle created to compete in something called the "Cycle Car Races" as they were then referred to somewhat inaccurately at the time. The car was entered into 1,100cc races at Montlhery on 30 May 1926. It was a disaster. There were three cars built in this configuration, all without suspension components of any sort. The cars were unable to be driven at any speed due to this fact and so they were side lined for a while. They were stored at Molsheim for a period of 12 months and then Bugatti commenced to retrofit the cars. Ettore fitted rear axles used on T35 cars. These axles used reversed quarter elliptica. The cars were given new engines with a capacity of 1,092cc. These engines were known as the T39b engines. The three cars were then entered in the GP d'Alsace on 30 May 1927. The race was won by default. The Bugatti cars won 1,2 and 3 place since the competition did not show up. Bugatti sold the cars. The cars eventually disappeared though one was known to have raced in Switzerland in 1931. The car is a monoposto meaning a single seater.
