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.

Bugatti Launches In China: First Veyron Sells For $3.6m - 04-24-2008, 12:00 AM



At a media conference on press day at the Beijing Motor Show Dr. Franz-Josef Paefgen, President of Bugatti Automobiles S.A.S. , officially declared Bugatti’s entry into the Chines market. “We are delighted to be here”, said Dr. Paefgen. “It is a historic moment for the legendary Bugatti brand: it is the first time that Bugatti presents a car in mainland China.”
The Bugatti Veyron will be on of the highlights of the Beijing Motor Show. Bugatti’s has selected Bentley China, a subsidary of the Dah Chong Hong Holdings Ltd., as its General Distributor in mainland China. The DCH Group takes up Bugatti’s sales- and service responsibilities in Beijing, Shangai and Shenzhen.
Their first customer didn’t mind splashing the cash in order to own the first Veyron in the country, shelling out a whopping $3.6 million for the privilege. He’ll be flying to Bugatti’s Molsheim headquarters to finalize the colour scheme and options.
Some people have such a tough life…
