Eitor Bugatti, the founder of Bugatti, 188 1 was born in Milan. His father is a painter and a famous furniture designer. Eitor Bugatti grew up in an art school. He likes driving very much, and has participated in racing activities since he was 17 years old. He built Bugatti T 1-T5 at an early age and participated in many competitions. Eitor Bugatti moved to Ned Brown, Alsace, France with his family in 1902, and began to cooperate with a local car company in 1904 to develop and produce cars for it. Until 1909, * * produced T6-T9 and other models. Then Eitor Bugatti moved to Morsheim, Alsace with his wife and children, and established Bugatti automobile factory, where the mature T 13 models began mass production. To this day, Morsheim is still the headquarters of Bugatti. 19 14 T 17 car, with steel spoke wheels, featuring horseshoe radiator grille, became the style of Bugatti. After that, Bugatti gradually developed and became active in major events around the world. Later, with the Great Depression and the two world wars, it had a great impact on Bugatti cars. Especially during World War II, the Germans occupied the Bugatti factory in France. 1939 and 1940, Eitor Bugatti's eldest son and father died one after another, and the Bugatti factory with difficult operation was also sold. At the same time, ettori Bugatti himself did not succumb to the threat of the invaders and insisted on Italian nationality, so he was persecuted. Subsequently, a generation of famous automobile designers in the vertical and horizontal automobile industry for nearly half a century also died in 1947. So far, Bugatti has produced one hundred models including T 1-T 10 1. After the end of World War II, Bugatti factory still maintained a bleak operation, and it was not until 1956 that it began to mainly produce T1kloc-0/cars. 19 10- 1956 During these 47 years, Bugatti * * * produced about 8,000 cars. The history of Bugatti has come to an end. Until 1987, the car dealer Romano Artioli, a financier, bought the Bugatti brand and moved the headquarters of Bugatti from Morsheim to Italy. Bugatti returned to the car world and launched EB 1 10 at1. EB 1 10 adopted a 560 HP mid-mounted 12-cylinder turbocharged engine and a four-wheel drive system. Its performance was unparalleled at that time and it became the favorite object of many performance car enthusiasts and car collectors. However, due to poor management, Bugatti declared bankruptcy in 1995, leaving about 12 cars in different assembly stages on the production line until the company's creditors decided what to do with them. 1998, Bugatti brand was acquired by Volkswagen. Later, the Volkswagen brand did not improve the existing models like other supercars to see what standards it could meet. Instead, the standard of 1000 horsepower 400 kilometers was set for the first time, and then a large number of engineers were hired to overcome various technical problems day and night to reach this standard. This is also the most different place between Bugatti and other super sports cars. The final result is the Bugatti Veyron 16.4, which is the most powerful car in the world today. On the other hand, Volkswagen also began to rebuild Bugatti's production plant in Morsheim, France. Finally, the new factory was named Bugatti Studio, which was completed in 2004 and officially opened in 2005. Now it is the headquarters of Bugatti. Bugatti has been producing sports cars, station wagons and luxury cars for nearly 47 years, and it is still considered by many people as the most outstanding car of that era. Ettore Bugatti's company went bankrupt in 1956, less than ten years after his death. Before that, they had produced 8,000 cars, some of which had the characteristics of racing cars and were unforgettable. About 35 years later, Bugatti rose again, and a wealthy Italian car dealer named Romano Artioli bought the right to use the Bugatti brand, which enabled this sacred brand to start producing popular cars again. To commemorate the anniversary of Ettore's birth 1 10, Artioli launched EB1/kloc-0 named after it. It is one of the fastest and most expensive production cars in the world. 1995, Bugatti Company closed down again after producing 126 super-running EB with 550 horsepower, leaving about 12 cars in different assembly stages on the production line until the company's creditors decided what to do with them. 1998, Volkswagen Germany purchased the trademark right of Bugatti, and the Bugatti brand entered a new stage with a sigh. People think that Volkswagen's idea of rebuilding this unlucky brand is unrealistic and will eventually end in failure again. In 200 1 year, Bugatti introduced the Veyron 16.4 concept car and announced that it would be the fastest and most powerful car in the world. After many years, Veyron finally appeared and entered the public eye. Dr Bscher, the new president of bugatti, is determined to make veyron go public again. With the help of chief engineer Schreiber, he led the company to redesign more than 85% parts of Veyron on a large scale. As a result, the new Veyron named after Pierre Veyron, who won the 1939 Riemann championship by driving the Bugatti 57, is the most expensive car ever, just as he promised. It is difficult to accurately describe the process of driving this car, because there is no model of the same grade for reference. Who can tell you clearly what it feels like to drive a European super sports car with 100 1 horsepower, 407 km/h, 1 10,000 euros? For example, as a car, the price of this car is amazing (at the time of writing this article, the price of this car was 6.5438+0.5 million Canadian dollars, about 6.5438+0.4 million RMB). The price of Honda Civic, Canada's best-selling product, is only 1% of that of Veyron. Even in Vancouver or Toronto in North America, 6.5438+0.5 million Canadian dollars can buy a very nice house, a yacht or enjoy retirement in Boca Raton. However, for those who can spend more than 654.38 billion dollars to buy a house, 200 million dollars to buy a yacht or more than 20 million people to travel to the moon by Russian spacecraft, the value of Veyron is very consistent with the tolerance of society. It's worth it after all. Maybe many people will openly question whether it is necessary to build such a powerful and ultra-fast car, but maybe they don't understand that Veyron is actually a scientific and technological achievement. Humans have been striving to travel faster, fly higher, design more exquisitely and so on. Veyron pushed the car to a new height. Even if a company has what we think is infinite resources, it is difficult to produce a Veyron car.
