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 exclusivesports cars.Today, the name is

owned by German automobile manufacturing groupVolkswagen.

3/9

Bugatti cars were extremely successful in racing. The littleBugatti Type 10swept the top four positions at its

first race. The 1924Bugatti Type 35is probably the most successful racing car of all time, with over 2,000

wins.[citation needed]Bugattis swept to victory in theTarga Floriofor five years straight from 1925 through

1929.Louis Chironheld the most podiums in Bugatti cars, and the modern marque revival Bugatti Automobiles

S.A.S. named the 1999Bugatti 18/3 Chironconcept car in his honour. But it was the final racing success atLe

Mansthat is most rememberedJean-Pierre WimilleandPierre Veyronwon the 1939 race with just one car

and meagre resources.

In the 1930s, Ettore Bugatti got involved in the creation of a racerairplane,hoping to beat the Germans in

theDeutsch de la Meurthe prize.This would be theBugatti 100P,[1][2]which never flew. It was designed by

Belgian engineerLouis de Mongewho had already applied Bugatti Brescia engines in his "Type 7.5" lifting

body.

Ettore Bugatti also designed a successful motorised railcar, theAutorail(Autorail Bugatti).[3]

The death of Ettore Bugatti's son,Jean Bugatti,on 11 August 1939 marked a turning point in the company's

fortunes. Jean died while testing aType 57 tank-bodied race carnear theMolsheimfactory.

World War IIleft the Molsheim factory in ruins and the company lost control of the property. During the war,

Bugatti planned a new factory at Levallois, a northwestern suburbs ofParis.After the war, Bugatti designed

and planned to build a series of new cars, including the Type 73 road car and Type 73C single seat racing car,

but in all Bugatti built only five Type 73 cars.

A 375 cc supercharged car was canceled when Ettore Bugatti died on 21 August 1947. Following Ettore

Bugatti's death, the business declined further and made its last appearance as a business in its own right at

aParis Motor Showin October 1952.[4]

After a long decline, the original incarnation of Bugatti ceased operations in 1952.

[edit]Design

Bugatti's cars noticeably focused on design.Engine blockswerehand scrapedto ensure that the surfaces

were so flat that gaskets were not required for sealing, many of the exposed surfaces of the engine

compartment featuredGuilloch(engine turned) finishes on them, and safety wires had been threaded through

almost every fastener in intricately laced patterns. Rather than bolt the springs to theaxlesas most

manufacturers did, Bugatti's axles were forged such that the spring passed though a carefully sized opening in

the axle, a much more elegant solution requiring fewer parts. He famously described his arch

competitorBentley'scars as "the world's fastest lorries" for focusing on durability. According to Bugatti, "weight

was the enemy".

[edit]Notable finds in the modern era

Relatives of Dr. Harold Carr found a rare 1937 Bugatti Type 57S Atalante when cataloguing the doctor's

belongings after his death in 2009. Dr. Carr's Type 57S is notable because it was originally owned by British

race car driver Earl Howe. Because much of the car's original equipment is intact, it can be restored without

relying on replacement parts.[6]

On 10 July 2009, a 1925 Bugatti Brescia Type 22 which had lain at the bottom ofLake Maggioreon the border

of Switzerland and Italy for 75 years was recovered from the lake. The Mullin Museum inOxnard,

Californiabought it at auction for $351,343 at Bonham's Retromobile sale in Paris in 2010.

[edit]Attempts at revival

The company attempted a comeback under Roland Bugatti in the mid-1950s with themid-enginedType251race car. Designed with help fromGioacchino Colombo,the car failed to perform to expectations and the

company's attempts at automobile production were halted.

In the 1960s,Virgil Exnerdesigned a Bugatti as part of his "Revival Cars"project. A show version of this car

was actually built byGhiausing the lastBugatti Type 101chassis, and was shown at the 1965Turin Motor

Show.Finance was not forthcoming, and Exner then turned his attention to a revival ofStutz.

Bugatti EB110(1996)

Italian entrepreneurRomano Artioliacquired the Bugatti brand in 1987, and established Bugatti Automobili

SpA. Bugatti commissioned architect Giampaolo Benedini to design the factory which was built

inCampogalliano,Italy.

By 1989 the plans for the new Bugatti revival were presented by Paolo Stanzani andMarcello Gandini,

designers of theLamborghini MiuraandLamborghini Countach.Bugatti called their first production vehicle

theBugatti EB110GT. Bugatti advertised the EB110 as the most technically advanced sports car ever

produced.

Famed racing car designerMauro Forghieriserved as Bugatti's technical director from 1992 through 1994.

On 27 August 1993, through his holding company, ACBN Holdings S.A. ofLuxembourg,Romano Artioli

purchasedLotus CarsfromGeneral Motors.Bugatti made plans to list the company's shares on international

stock exchanges.

Bugatti presented a prototype large saloon called the EB112 in 1993.

Perhaps the most famous Bugatti EB110 owner was seven-timeFormula One World

ChampionracingdriverMichael Schumacherwho purchased an EB110 in 1994. Schumacher sold his EB110,

which had been repaired after a severe 1994 crash, to Modena Motorsport, a Ferrari service and race

preparation garage in Germany.

By the time the EB110 came to market, the North American and European economies were in recession. Poor

economic conditions forced the company to fail and operations ceased in September 1995. A model specific to
