About Bugatti:
Unlike any other car brand, the origins of the Bugatti brand lie in art and in striving to achieve technical excellence through innovation. Company founder Ettore Bugatti successfully combined this artistic approach with his technical concepts and in the process laid the foundations of a design language which still shapes Bugatti today. He created vehicles that were ahead of their time and are now among the most valuable classic cars in the world. The brand values "Art, Forme, Technique" perfectly encapsulate this legendary approach.

Still based in Molsheim (Alsace, France), where the company was founded more than 100 years ago, Bugatti is now part of the Volkswagen Group. Bugatti today is an ingenious combination of the artistic roots of its Italian founders, the distinctive understanding of the French for exclusive luxury products and brands as well as the internationally acknowledged German engineering and technological leadership. Bugatti opened a new chapter of its successful future at the start of this century with the Bugatti Veyron 16.4. The Veyron is the most powerful and fastest production sports car in the world and is unmatched in terms of performance, unique hand-crafted manufacturing and exclusive equipment with the highest degree of individualisation options. All 450 vehicles have been sold. So far no other car manufacturer has managed to successfully market a product that stands for unrivalled technical performance and pure luxury at comparable numbers and prices.

In October 2013, Bugatti launched its Lifestyle Collection as a major step in its brand extension strategy as Bugatti does not only stand for benchmark technology and breath-taking performance, but also for art, design and a sophisticated lifestyle. The new lifestyle collection represents the DNA of the brand, and creates the opportunity to transport the aura and myth of this automotive icon into other aspects of life beyond the automobile. www.bugatti.com
