Bugatti, the history of model cars

Company Bugatti, the history of model cars began in the town of Molsheim, France. The company expects to make a fast car, it took up an Italian immigrant, described as an eccentric genius - Ettore Bugatti. The original company is legendary that has produced some of the best cars in the world, so also the fastest. The original Bugatti brand failed with the exit from the World War II. The death of Ettore's son Jean was also a negative factor. The company struggled financially, and has released a latest model in the 1950's, before they bought part of the business airplane industry in the 1960's. Today the name of the company belongs to Volkswagen Group, the construction of extremely limited production sports cars. Founder Ettore Bugatti was born in Milan, Italy, and the automobile company that bears his name, was founded in 1909 in Molsheim, located in Alsace. The company was known and the level of development of parts for cars, Ettore family (his father, Carlo Bugatti (1856-1940) was an important designer of furniture and jewelry Art Nouveau). The company also enjoyed great success in the early racing engines Grand Prix, winning the first ever Monaco Grand Prix. The company's success culminated with driver Jean-Pierre Wimille double win 24 Hours of Le Mans (in 1937 with Robert Benoist and 1939 with Pierre Veironom). Bugatti cars were works of art, because they were created mechanically. Surfaces were so flat that it is not required to isolate, many surface exposed engine compartment. Instead of bonding the spring bolts to axles, like most manufacturers, the axis of Bugatti were made so that the spring is inserted into the niche axis, a more elegant solution requiring fewer parts. He clearly described his car brand Bentley competitors as "the fastest trucks in the world." According to Bugatti, "the weight was the enemy." The most famous vehicle is the Bugatti Type 35 Grand Prix cars, "Royale", Type 57 "Atlantic" and the Type 55 sports car. January 2, 2009, showed that a rare type of Bugatti Atlantic (1937) was found in the garage of a deceased surgeon in England. Only 17 cars of this model were made by hand. July 10, 2009 Bugatti Brescia 22 (1925), which lay at the bottom of Lake Maggiore on the border of Switzerland and Italy for 75 years, was raised from the water. Mullin Museum in Oxnard, California bought it at auction for $ 351,343 at Bonham Retromobile sale in Paris in 2010. During the production, which has produced about 7,900 cars (of which about 2,000 still exist), each Bugatti model was designated with the prefix T for Type, which shows the number of chassis and engine. During the war, Bugatti working on Levallois in the northwestern suburbs of Paris, on several new projects, including the Type 73 car, Type 73C single race car (5 built), and the Type 75. After the Second World War has been canceled overloaded car 375 cc, when Ettore died. Bugatti cars were extremely successful in racing, with many thousands of victories in just a few decades. Small Bugatti Type 10 won the first four places in his first race. Bugatti Type 35 (1925) is probably the most successful racing car of all time, with more than 2,000 victories. Bugatti firm won the Targa Florio for five years straight from 1925 to 1929. Louis Chiron held the most podiums in their cars Bugatti, and twenty-first century, the company Bugatti introduced the concept car named in his honor. But it was the final racing success at Le Mans. Already during the First World War, Bugatti has taken in-line engine with 8 cylinders for use in aircraft, after discussion with Roland Garros. Two of these blocks in parallel on a common crankcase, made U-16, which will be built in the U.S. as the King-Bugatti airplane ideal. In 1930, Ettore Bugatti was involved in the creation of an airplane racer, hoping to win the Germans in Detssha de la Murta. It would be a Bugatti 100P, which never flew. It was developed by a Belgian engineer Louis de Monge, who has already used the engines Bugatti Brescia in Type 7.5. Son of Ettore Bugatti, Jean Bugatti, was killed Aug. 11, 1939 at the age of 30 years, testing a racing car type 57 factories around Molsheim. Subsequently, the company began to decline. The Second World War destroyed the factory in Molsheim, and the company lost control of the property. During the war, Bugatti planned a new factory at Levallois in Paris and designed a series of new cars. August 21, 1947 by Ettore Bugatti died. The company did attempt to return at Roland Bugatti in the mid 1950's with a race car type 251, designed by the famous Alfa Romeo, Ferrari, and designer Gioacchino Colombo, Maserati, the car was not able to recoup all the expectations and the company's attempts at automobile production were stopped. In the 1960's, Virgil Exner designed a Bugatti as part of his "project" car revival.
