Hypercar Luxury

Short answer: Bugatti was founded in 1909 by the Italian-born Ettore Bugatti in Molsheim, Alsace, then part of the German Empire and part of France since 1919. Its pre-war cars won many races, and the Type 41 Royale was one of the largest luxury cars ever built.

After decades of closures and revivals, Volkswagen relaunched the brand in Molsheim, building the Veyron from 2005 and the Chiron from 2016. Since 2021 it has been part of Bugatti Rimac. A horseshoe-shaped grille is a long-running Bugatti signature. The footage shows Bugatti cars and details, with the presenter.
