Despite the fact the driver thinks he's at Le Mans, I'd say Austro-Daimler was a safer bet. A check on Google images for '1928 Austro- Daimler' confirms a similarity with everything between the front wheels and the windshield, whilst a check for the Bugatti confirms only every Bugatti was more or less a bespoke job. Except for the headlights. They were all way too large for th this vehicle.
