The Bugatti logo is composed of the first letters "EB" of the name of Ettore Bugatti, the founder of Bugatti Automobiles.

Ettore Bugatti was born in Milan, Italy in 1881. His father was a painter and a famous furniture designer. Ettore Bugatti studied at an art school since he was a child. He was particularly fond of driving cars and participated in racing activities since he was 17 years old. At the age of 18, he joined the company Printetti & Stucchi to learn the design and manufacture of three-wheeled vehicles, and won the automobile racing championship that year.

In 1909, a factory was built in Molsheim, Alsace. While designing the "Peugeot Bebe" small car, it also manufactured the T10 car equipped with an in-line four-cylinder engine with a displacement of 1208ml. In 1914, the T17 car, which featured a horseshoe-shaped radiator grille and wire-spoke wheels, was developed, with a speed of 110km/h.

During World War I, Ettore Bugatti designed and manufactured an in-line eight-cylinder, 410HP aero engine for the Dusenberg Motor Company in the United States. After the First World War, starting in 1920, the T22 and T23 racing cars equipped with four-cylinder 16-valve (the founder of the four-valve mechanism) small engines were successively developed, and competed in the Le Mans 24 Hours Automobile Competition in France. and won the Brescia race.

In 1922, Bugatti developed the T30 racing car equipped with an in-line eight-cylinder engine. The T35 model in 1925 (after the T30 racing car) was active on the European racing circuit with its high performance and excellent body shape. In particular, the T35B was equipped with a Roots-type supercharger and could reach a top speed of 210km/h, so Selling well all over the world, it still has a large number of copies. Starting with the T38 car in 1927, it began to produce convertible top sports cars and two-seater racing cars. The 1933 T41 car was called Lovayard's luxury large touring car. The engine was an in-line eight-cylinder, with a displacement of up to 14,700ml, a speed of 180km/h, and a large body weight of 3,000kg. Only 6 were produced, and they are still preserved today. .

In 1937, Ettore Bugatti’s son Jean Bugatti (1909-1939) participated in the design work. With its refined windows and novel and unique body as its main features, he became a favorite in the car industry. . Unfortunately, Jean Bugatti died in a traffic accident in 1939. In the world economic recession, the Ettore Bugatti factory is having difficulty operating. At the beginning of World War II, the German army occupied the Ettore Bugatti factory in France. But Bugatti himself did not succumb to the intimidation of the invaders and insisted on Italian nationality, thus being persecuted. A generation of famous car designers who dominated the car industry for nearly half a century passed away quietly in 1947, and the Bugatti company also ceased production. However, he has always been admired by future generations, and most of his Bugatti cars have become collections of the Mulhouse Museum in France. Bugatti cars can still be seen driving on German roads.

BUGATTI, a French sports car brand with a history of more than 100 years, has experienced ups and downs in the past century. Since it ceased operations in 1947 due to the death of its founder Ettore Bugatti, BUGATTI, a time-honored French brand, was resurrected in the early 1990s through the efforts of Italian Romano Artioli, a fanatical car fan and industrialist, and launched A popular supercar production car like the EB110. Unfortunately, BUGATTI, which was finally revived, declared bankruptcy in 1995 due to the company's financial difficulties, leaving only 139 EB110s in mass production and the stillborn EB112 concept car.

In 1998, VAG, a German automobile giant, bought the trademark rights of BUGATTI and officially incorporated BUGATTI into the VAG Group, under the jurisdiction of VW itself (another supercar under VAG) The brand LAMBORGHINI is under the jurisdiction of AUDI). After being taken over by VAG, BUGATTI has almost never been absent from major international auto shows. It has launched several concept cars in succession, but there has been no action in mass production. Therefore, the pre-production prototype of the EB16-4 Veyron unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show can be said to be the first mass-produced car to bear the BUGATTI oval red factory emblem since the EB110. It is also the second resurrection of BUGATTI. The official pioneering work!
