Lorraine [5]

1985-1995

Brand Data

Lorraine Motor Research was a manufacturer based in Downers Grove, Illinois, United States, known for producing a replica of the Bugatti Type 59.

The vehicle was offered exclusively as a turn-key, fully assembled car rather than as a kit. Its body was made of fibreglass, constructed from blueprints of the original Bugatti Type 59, aiming to closely reproduce the design of the classic car.

Power came from a Ford 2000cc four-cylinder engine, fitted with a performance camshaft and modified carburettion to enhance output for the replica.
