The 1914 Peugeot Bébé was one of the most delightful and significant small cars of the Edwardian era. Designed by the legendary Ettore Bugatti and manufactured by Peugeot, it was a tiny, lightweight automobile aimed at bringing motoring within reach of everyday people.
Powered by a modest 855cc four-cylinder engine producing around 10 horsepower, the Bébé featured a simple but charming design with cycle-style fenders, an open-top body, and an overall length of less than three meters. Despite its miniature proportions, it was surprisingly practical and fun to drive.
Often regarded as a precursor to modern city cars, the 1914 Peugeot Bébé combined French engineering ingenuity with Bugatti’s flair for elegant simplicity, making it an icon of early automotive accessibility and charm. These beautiful photos capture the irresistible charm, ingenious design, and pioneering spirit of the 1914 Peugeot Bébé, a tiny car that brought the joy of motoring to a new generation.
