Bugatti was founded in Molsheim, then Germany, today France as a manufacturer of high performance automobiles by Ettore Bugatti, an Italian immigrant described as an eccentric genius.
The original company is legendary for producing
some of the most exclusive cars in the world, as well as some of the
fastest. The original Bugatti brand failed with the coming of World War
II, like many high-end marques of the time. The death of Ettore's son
Jean was also a contributory factor. The company struggled financially,
and released one last model in the 1950s, before eventually being
purchased for its airplane parts business in the 1960s. Today the name
is owned by Volkswagen Group, who have revived it as a builder of
limited production exclusive sports cars... |
