The Type 8 and later Type 9 were automobiles designed by Ettore Bugatti for the Deutz Gasmotoren Fabrik from 1907 to 1910. These used long-stroke four-cylinder engines.[1] The car, often raced under the name "Prinz Henri", was named for Prince Henry of Prussia.[2][3][4] The car proved to be innefective at racing, because the chassis of the Type 8, without an engine or body, would weigh as much as 935.0 kilograms (2,061.3 pounds), with the later Type 9's only reducing the weight to 880.0 kilograms (1,940.1 pounds).
