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. -
90Th Anniversary of the Targa Florio Victory: Bugatti Wins Fifth Consecutive Title
90th anniversary of the Targa Florio victory: Bugatti wins fifth consecutive title MOLSHEIM 02 05 2019 FOR MANY YEARS BUGATTI DOMINATED THE MOST IMPORTANT CAR RACE OF THE 1920S Legends were born on this track. Targa Florio in Sicily was considered the world’s hardest, most prestigious and most dangerous long-distance race for many years. Today, current Bugatti models remind us of the drivers from back in the day. Sicilian entrepreneur Vincenzo Florio established his own race on family-owned roads in the Madonie region. Between 1906 and 1977, sports cars raced for the title at international races, some of which even had sports car world championship status. Winners at this race could proudly advertise their victory. For this reason, all important sports car manufacturers sent their vehicles to Sicily. Between 1925 and 1929 Bugatti dominated the race with the Type 35. In particular, in 1928 and 1929, one man showcased his skills at the wheel of his vehicle: Albert Divo. In these two years he was unbeatable in his Bugatti Type 35 C, winning the race in Sicily on 5 May 1929 after having also claimed the top spot in 1928. He also set a further record when he crossed the finish line: the “Fabrik Bugatti” team won the title five times in a row – this had never been done before in the history of the Targa Florio and remained an unbeaten record until the end of the last official races, to this day. A reason to look back. After all, the race was anything but easy: initially one lap of the “Piccolo circuito delle Madonie” was around 148 kilometres, from 1919 organisers cut the race lap distance to a still considerable 108 kilometres. -

ACES WILD ACES WILD the Story of the British Grand Prix the STORY of the Peter Miller
ACES WILD ACES WILD The Story of the British Grand Prix THE STORY OF THE Peter Miller Motor racing is one of the most 10. 3. BRITISH GRAND PRIX exacting and dangerous sports in the world today. And Grand Prix racing for Formula 1 single-seater cars is the RIX GREATS toughest of them all. The ultimate ambition of every racing driver since 1950, when the com petition was first introduced, has been to be crowned as 'World Cham pion'. In this, his fourth book, author Peter Miller looks into the back ground of just one of the annual qualifying rounds-the British Grand Prix-which go to make up the elusive title. Although by no means the oldest motor race on the English sporting calendar, the British Grand Prix has become recognised as an epic and invariably dramatic event, since its inception at Silverstone, Northants, on October 2nd, 1948. Since gaining World Championship status in May, 1950 — it was in fact the very first event in the Drivers' Championships of the W orld-this race has captured the interest not only of racing enthusiasts, LOONS but also of the man in the street. It has been said that the supreme test of the courage, skill and virtuosity of a Grand Prix driver is to w in the Monaco Grand Prix through the narrow streets of Monte Carlo and the German Grand Prix at the notorious Nürburgring. Both of these gruelling circuits cer tainly stretch a driver's reflexes to the limit and the winner of these classic events is assured of his rightful place in racing history. -

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. -
