ABOUT BUGATTI

Ettore Bugatti, known as the founder of one of the most important and prestigious Italian brands in the world, was an inventor and visionary. Thanks to his revolutionary ideas, he registered more than 1000 patents during his life and introduced concepts such as aerodynamics and lightness to improve the performance of vehicles.  

The Bugatti company was founded in 1909, when Ettore Bugatti moved to Alsazia, Molsheim. A few years later he designs a car manufactured under license by Peugeot, like the type BP1 Bebè: then, when the Second World War begins, he builds aircraft and aircraft engines.

After the end of the war, in order to increase the success of his brand, Ettore Bugatti focuses on motorsport, and between the 1920s and 1930s his cars dominate all of Europe: one of the most memorable episodes is winning the first of five Targa Florio in 1925.

​

After his death in 1947, the company was closed a few years later. An attempt to revive the company in 1987 failed for financial reasons, and Bugatti closed its doors again in 1995. A second attempt was made in 1998, and today the company is owned by the Volkswagen Group. 

The Bugatti Chiron is a work of art on wheels and features a 16-cylinder engine with 1,500 horsepower. The Bugatti Divo, named after the French racing driver Albert Divo, is another of the brand's masterpieces and was developed specifically for the racetrack. With an 8-liter W16 engine and weighing just 1,995 kg, the Divo is incredibly fast and agile. Bugatti continues to set new standards in luxury automotive engineering, and the brand's latest models are a real feast for the eyes.
