Bugatti Automobiles S.A.S. is a French high-performance luxury carmaker established in 1998 as a subsidiary of Volkswagen AG and based in Molsheim, Alsace, France. The brand traces its roots to Automobiles Ettore Bugatti, a company founded in 1909 by Italian-born Ettore Bugatti. Virtually defunct since the death of its founder in 1947, the original BUGATTI was sold off in the 1960s and was only revived in the late 1980s by businessman Romano Artioli (also the owner of Lotus Cars Limited in the early 1990s) as Bugatti Automobili SpA, based in Campogalliano near Modena, Italy. In spite of garnering much publicity with its first production model, the EB 110, the new company folded in 1995 due to poor financial results during a global recession. Volkswagen acquired the brand in 1998 and launched a second BUGATTI revival before the end of the year.
The company commissioned renowned car designers Italdesign Giugiaro to produce several concept vehicles, which were presented to the public at auto shows in Paris, Geneva and Frankfurt during 1998 and 1999. Its first production model, the VEYRON 16.4, was developed in-house and entered distribution in 2005. While the concept cars were fitted with a 6.3-litre 18-cylinder W-configuration engine, all production models have been carrying the significantly more powerful, trademark VW 8.0-litre quad-turbocharged W16, essentially a double-V8. The VEYRON set a production car world speed record of 408.47 km/h (253.81 mph) in 2005 (held until 2007) and the VEYRON SUPER SPORT reached 431.072 km/h (267.856 mph) without the electronic speed limiter in 2010 (record beaten in 2017 by the KOENIGSEGG AGERA RS). The names of each of the BUGATTI models released after the 1998 relaunch refer to pre-war racing drivers who achieved success in BUGATTI cars - Albert Divo (winner of Targa Florio in 1928 and 1929), Louis Chiron (winner of multiple Grand Prix in the 1920s and 1930s), and Pierre Veyron (winner of 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1939).
