From today's perspective we see that the shape is basically an airfoil, so would tend to generate lift at speed. The engine is a 2 litre straight 8 and the car is tiny.
This example is one of only two remaining. Pictures taken at Goodwood 2009, where it was raced up the hill with a more enthusiasm than you'd expect, considering it's rarity.

It is amazing how Bugatti went from building one of the ugliest Grand Prix cars of all-time (Type 32) to one of the most beautiful of all-time (Type 35) in the space of just one year.
