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.

Interesting. I guess the Blue/Green movement is irrelevant at Boogatee. I'll take the "slower" GS version thank you.

I know, but I thought that current torque figure for the Veyron was close to the limit of the gearbox but apparently it can handle much more than 1100Nm. Very impressive.
