Automobiles
Ettore Bugatti was a
French car manufacturer of high-performance automobiles, founded in
1909 in the then German city of Molsheim, Alsace by Italian-born Ettore
Bugatti. Bugatti cars were known for their design beauty (Ettore
Bugatti was from a family of artists and considered himself to be both an
artist and constructor) and for their many race victories. Famous Bugattis
include the Type 35 Grand
Prix cars, the Type 41 "Royale",
the Type 57
"Atlantic" and
the Type 55 sports car.
The
death of Ettore Bugatti in 1947 proved to be the end for the marque, and the
death of his son Jean Bugatti in 1939 ensured there was not a successor
to lead the factory. No more than about 8000 cars were made. The company
struggled financially, and released one last model in the 1950s, before
eventually being purchased for its airplane parts business in the 1960s. In the 1990s, an Italian
entrepreneur revived it as a builder of limited production exclusive sports cars.
Today, the name is owned by German automobile manufacturing group Volkswagen.
