The type 32 was racing against open wheel cars of the time so it would have had a lower Cd than those no doubt. The type 32 was built just two years after the Rumpler Tropfenauto.

Ettore Bugatti designed this automobile for the 1923 Grand Prix in Tours.
It was not successful, 4 were entered and third place was the best. The
problem was its handling, which was poor due to aerodynamic lift, although
it was fast on the straights.
