The brand name
Bugatti is one that is recognised throughout the world as being among the
very best when it comes to
luxury automobiles. The
Bugatti family were known for being the
very best engineering geniuses of their time, combined with quality
lifestyle and artistic talent.
The head of the family was Giovanni
Bugatti, however the family really only became noticed at the turn of the 20th century when Carlo
Bugatti, the second born, earned himself international acclaim. This was due to the unique and revolutionary
luxury designs of furniture; designed by Carlo, using some of the most exotic materials from all over the world. These
luxury materials would be incorporated into the vehicles that were to come from
Bugatti in the future.
Ettore and Rembrandt
Bugatti both had their father’s skills when it came to engineering. However, it was Ettore who’s high standards and
luxury craftsmanship, the definition of his engineering work, which would leave the motor industry in awe. Ettore's son Roland, went on to take over the family business when the second World War had passed. Sadly,
Bugatti were unable to keep up with the ever-changing developments in the motor industry, and manufacturing came to a halt, for some time to come. However, one thing set
Bugatti apart from the numerous legions of their former competitors. As a
luxury lifestyle brand,
Bugatti lived on, and it did not become a memory of the past.
Molshiem – Bugatti automobile's home The
Bugatti brand was acquired by Volkswagen in 1998, and it was decided that production of the
luxury legendary cars would continue at Molshiem, the home of
Bugatti. This indecently was where
Bugatti originally had founded his manufacturing plant. Molshiem was the true home of
Bugatti. It was here where many racing victories occurred and where
Bugatti became a living legend, among the
very best in the world.
They say you cannot keep a good man down and the same applies to the
Bugatti lifestyle brand. The ingenious engineering that began with Ettore was reborn with production of
luxury super cars beginning again in 2001.
A new lease of life with the Veyron 16.4
The Veyron 16.4 is the latest baby developed by
Bugatti, with manufacturing taking place at the newly built production site in Chateau Saint Jean. The production site mimicked the oval form of Ettore
Bugatti's construction, including the famous company logo.

Bugatti Veyron FBG par Hermes was handed over to its owner.

Bugatti is still seen and reflected in even the smallest of details. The elegant brand logo of
Bugatti has never changed, and it is what makes the character of
