  • The Lost Bugatti
    BUGATTI DIATTO AVIO 8C WORDS CLAUDE TEISEN-SIMONY & DAVID LILLYWHITE ARCHIVE PICTURES BUGATTI TRUST A mysterious chassis fitted with a one-off Bugatti aero engine, discovered in a Turin museum, turns out to have links to a famous pilot and to Maserati’s first car. But could it also have been the first step towards the super-luxury Bugatti Royale saloon? The lost Bugatti 90 / MAGNETO MAGNETO / 91 BUGATTI DIATTO AVIO 8C T This is one hell of a tale. It’s controversial at times, it brings in threads involving World War One fighter pilot Roland Garros, surprising links to Maserati, and the likely origins of not just Bugatti’s Grand Prix engines, but also the legendary Bugatti Royale. Most exciting of all, it introduces a remarkable aero-engined Bugatti that’s never been seen before. To whet your appetite, it’s a 14.5-litre and develops 250bhp at 2160rpm – Bugatti’s equivalent of the ‘Beast of Turin’ Fiat or the Benz-engined Scariscrow. Crucially, a large proportion of it is original, rescued from decades in hiding by a legendary Bugatti expert before moving on to its current owner. It’s been painstakingly researched, restored and part-recreated in secret by craftsmen in Denmark and the Czech Republic. To all but a select few, its existence remained unknown until its big reveal at the Rétromobile show in Paris on February 6. So, how did we get to this point? Let’s start with the engine, because actually it’s more important than the car itself in many ways. The story begins with French pilot Roland Garros, who in 1913 made the first-ever non-stop flight across the Mediterranean, flying a fast Morane-Saulnier monoplane.

  • Rétrospective Annuelle De Stephan Winkelmann, PDG De Bugatti
    Rétrospective annuelle de Stephan Winkelmann, PDG de Bugatti MOLSHEIM 23 01 2019 FORT D’UN SOLIDE EXERCICE 2018, BUGATTI ENTAME AVEC ENTHOUSIASME L’ANNÉE DES 110 ANS DE LA MARQUE. Bugatti se prépare à un événement exceptionnel. En 2019, l’entreprise située à Molsheim, en Alsace, fêtera ses 110 années d’existence. Parallèlement, Stephan Winkelmann, président de Bugatti passe en revue sa première année à la tête du constructeur automobile d´hypersportives français. Le temps est venu de jeter un coup d´œil aux rétroviseurs, afin de pouvoir aller de l ´avant avec détermination. C’est en 1909 que Bugatti a commencé à développer des automobiles d’exception sur le site de Molsheim, aujourd’hui français. Le tout premier modèle de la marque est la Type 10, développée puis vendue sous le nom de Bugatti Type 13, fruit d’une recherche esthétique qui confine à l’œuvre d’art. Cette approche est encore aujourd’hui emblématique du site du constructeur automobile français, notamment pour les modèles actuels que sont la Chiron1 et la Divo2. Conçues pour incarner la quintessence des hypersportives, ce sont les voitures les plus puissantes, de la plus grande qualité et les plus luxueuses du monde, issues d’un processus de production artisanal qui s’étale sur plusieurs semaines où la plus grande attention est portée au moindre détail. « Les automobiles signées Bugatti réunissent le meilleur de deux mondes, comme en attestent avec brio la Chiron et la Divo : à la fois hypersportives développant une puissance de 1 500 ch et un couple de 1 600 Nm, performantes et avec une maniabilité exceptionnelle, et voitures de luxe offrant un remarquable confort de conduite: un mariage inédit dans le monde de l’automobile », souligne Stephan Winkelmann, président de Bugatti Automobiles S.A.S.

  • Bugatti, Ferrari and Dunhill Bentley Lead Christie's
    For Immediate Release 10 March 2005 Contact: Matthew Paton 020 7389 2965 [email protected] BUGATTI, FERRARI AND DUNHILL BENTLEY LEAD CHRISTIE’S APRIL SALE Exceptional Motor Cars and Automobilia Tuesday, 19 April 2005 London – Christie’s International Motor Cars is pleased to announce the first London sale of 2005, which will take place on 19 April. This sale will include 22 cars from various ages of motoring, and will have examples from Ferrari, Bentley, Bugatti, Rolls-Royce and Jaguar, among others. Highlighting the sale are examples from four different eras of motoring: 1897 Panhard-Levassor 6hp Twin Cylinder Phaeton The Panhard-Levassor was the first ever luxury car, and the company dominated the luxury market until the arrival of Mercedes in 1901. In 1895, a Panhard-Levassor won the first ever motor race by driving from Paris to Bordeaux and back again. Unfortunately, few examples have survived – the Veteran Car Club of Great Britain records just 35. As a result, it is a rare occurrence to see such an example of motoring history at auction. This example, which is known as ‘William the Conqueror’, was delivered to a motor dealership in Paris in December 1897. It was discovered in the late 1970s in northern France, and was brought to the UK where it underwent a comprehensive restoration. The car carries an estimate of £100,000-150,000. 1923 Bentley 3 Litre Drophead Coupé by Park Ward This immaculate vintage Bentley was delivered new to Alfred Dunhill in December 1923. Dunhill is most famous for founding the company which carries his name, and which aimed to supply ‘everything but the motor’ in its motor accessories range.
