Old pictures of Bugatti 




In the early days, motor sports were a truly sensual experience - glittering events that captured the imagination of the masses and left the ruling classes spellbound. Rivalry between competing brands and constructors created an environment where exceptional performance was a matter of survival. The car had only just been invented when along came a man who was determined to turn this self-propelled contraption into a work of art on wheels. That man was Ettore Bugatti.




Design of bugatti is  very famous right from the beginning ,according to one of the Veyron's designers, the biggest challenge in creating the Veyron was         the aerodynamics. How do you keep a 250-mph passenger car on the road?

The Veyron's dimensions help to some extent. The car is 79 inches (200 cm) wide, 176 inches (447 cm) long and only 48 inches (122 cm) high. Keep in mind that a Hummer 2 is 81.2 inches wide. The Bugatti is extremely wide for its height.
