Bugatti
Bugatti was founded in 1909 in Molsheim, Alsace (then Germany, now France), by Italian-born constructor Ettore Bugatti. The automaker built its early reputation on lightweight chassis design and Grand Prix racing dominance, led by the Type 35, which won over 2,000 races during the 1920s and 1930s. Following decades of inactivity after the post-war era, Volkswagen Group acquired the rights to the brand in 1998, building a new assembly atelier back in Molsheim.
