The legendary Italian engineer Ettore Bugatti presented his first car design at the beginning of the 20th century and started manufacturing cars under his own name in 1910 in Molsheim, Germany (France after the first World War). The excellence of his cars, the many victories in racing and the remarkable designs of both mechanics and bodywork built up the Bugatti name to mythic proportions in the years that followed. Bugatti, despite limited production and very exclusive pricing, was etched deep into the memory of car enthusiasts all over the world. Even now, some 50 years after the last Bugatti car left the Molsheim factory, this brand evokes such an alluring image that values of these classic cars are sky high and a large amount of money has been poured into reviving the name for new, modern super sports cars. The Type 57 appeared in many different shapes, but the range can be divided into 6 main body styles, partly named after famous locations in the Alps. To give you an impression of the illustrious Type 57 this tour will lead you through these styles page by page. Enjoy! |
