That is the same car, and I know that. But are you sure that is also a 16/4 other than reading it off the number plate?

Well this got hostile quickly - someone raises a valid concern and then a war of words breaks out. I'm interested to know what Rocke said before he deleted it.
I think the 18/4 and 16/4 look extremely alike form the front - I looked for the lowered headlights but saw nothing until Roentgen pointed out that they were at different heights with respect to the grill.
Anyways, the main difference that I see between the 18/4 and 16/4 from the front is simple: the 16/4 has a little vertical chrome piece in the grill, the 18/4 doesn't; another difference is the front intakes.
However, I think the issue my be that early 16/4s shared the same looks as the the 18/4 - it seems unlikely to me that Bugatti would have an 18/4 with 16/4 plates on it.
Aha - I think I solved it, unfortunately, I had to go to UCP's most bitter enemy, the site that shall not be named.
The early 16/4 looked like the 18/4 as I predicted. Mystery solved.

Ah, this makes sense then. So Bugatti did in fact make 2 different engines for the same look of the 18/4. Problem solved.
