| Bugatti Italian born Ettore Bugatti produced his first car in 1899 at the age of 19. In 1909 he started his factory in Molsheim, Alsace. Bugattis were known for their advanced engineering in their premium road cars. The company's success culminated with driver Jean-Pierre Wimille winning the 24 hours of Le Mans twice (in 1937 with Robert Benoist and 1939 with Pierre Veyron). Volkswagen AG purchased the rights to produce cars under the Bugatti marque in 1998. |

  | Re: Bugatti Veyron is one of Top Gear's "Cars of the Year". Not suprising at all. The all the power the car packs it offers an experience hardly any other car can offer. |

| Re: Bugatti Veyron is one of Top Gear's "Cars of the Year". I was sort of expecting that they'd hate such a display of engineering arrogance in the face of the difficulties of making it perform and work; that it was delayed so much and then was a bit of a let down after it came out - after all, it's still just a car, albeit a very fast one. Or maybe that's just me  Then again, reading some of the test drives of the Veyron, I suppose its sheer brawn is just impressive. In either case, it's a car you either love or hate. |

| Re: Bugatti Veyron is one of Top Gear's "Cars of the Year". Even though the car has been delayed one can't ignore the experience of oding 0-100 in under 3 sec and boosting speed over 400km/h. |
