NOTE: In 1925 Bugatti raced a number of 1.5-litre cars 52 x 88mm (1494cc); these are probably classified as T35, the genuine T39 having the short stroke crank. A few cars 51.3 x 66 (1092cc) were also produced
* This unusual firing order is correct for at least one car and is achieved by turning one half of the crankshaft through 180 degrees
