Looking for Bugatti’s roots is like looking for many other exotic manufacturers’ humble beginnings. It all started on the track. Etorre Bugatti entered his first race in 1899 at the ripe young age of 18. His fascination with racing led him to study engineering and take a job in an engine manufacturing plant in Alsace. He would later use that knowledge develop a lightweight racer in his basement. That car was to become the first Bugatti.

The Bugatti family would experience several tragedies over the course of Ettore’s life, including the death of his brother in an auto accident at age 30. When Ettore himself died, it seemed the company was doomed. It was Bugatti’s racing success that led several manufacturers to take interest in the company.

In the past century, Bugatti has continued to change hands. The company was most recently purchased by Volkswagen in 1998, riding the supercar wave established by the Bugatti EB110. Today Bugatti has just one production model: the Veyron 16.4. The car uses a 16-cylinder engine to reach the fastest top speed of any serial produced automobile at 252 mph. Of course, with a price tag over a million bucks and just 300 production models this car defines exclusivity.
