Brief History:
Ettore Bugatti started at the age of 17 building bicycles and at the age of 19 he built his own simple car. Later in 1901 he produced his first official car and established himself in his own premises at Molsheim, near Strasbourg. After a lot of hard work and planing one of Bugatti's cars appeared at the 1911 La Mans, it was a little white sports car that weighed under half a ton and was only four cylinders strong. The car came in second place proving to the world that Buggatti knew more about car manufacturing than other more established car manufactures. Before the war in 1913 Bugatti buried 3 racing cars under his house and turned his talents to the war effort alongside Rolls Royce and Mercedes building aircraft engines. After the war he exhumed the cars and begun production again in 1923. Buggatti continued making the fastest and largest not to mention most successful cars in the world until his death in 1947.
