Bugatti Cars
It is tough to define Bugatti cars - they display high performance and luxury levels. However, the company also treats every model as a unique piece of art. On searching in the internet, you might get contrasting views about this particular car builder. There are models produced by the original Bugatti car company and the ones manufactured by Bugatti Automobiles SAS. For the sake of simplicity, we will be concentrating on the prevalent car company i.e. the Bugatti Automobiles SAS.
We have already read about powerhouses built and marketed by German and British car manufacturers. However, Bugatti is a surprise offering from France. Ever since the ancient times, the French paid great attention to detailing while creating sculptures. One will be able to recognize the same fact in the models manufactured in the factories of Bugatti. As of today, Volkswagen France, holds the majority stakes in Bugatti Automobiles SAS.
What are the special aspects of Bugatti cars? The products offered by the competitors might strike a chord in your mind. On the other hand, you have to understand that Bugatti Automobiles is a new company in the industry. They began to design and develop cars only by 1998. Why do these cars have an unusual attractiveness? Have you ever pondered about these factors? I will let in a small secret - the company simply roped the services of Italian automobile designer Giorgetto Giugiaro.
The initial offering of the company was EB 118, which boasted of a W18 6.3L engine. The permanent all-wheel drive design helped in augmenting the capabilities of the car by many times. This coupe-modeled car manufactured by Bugatti Cars could find quite a good number of clients across the Europe. After the initial introduction of the EB 118, the company came up with the all-new EB 218. This new car was a touring sedan, which featured the same engine as the EB 118. I am certain that auto enthusiasts might have drooled over the Bugatti 18/3 Chiron model that was once again designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro.
Once the company was taken over by Volkswagen, they began to fine-tune the 18/3 Chiron and ultimately came up with EB 18/4 GT. By this time, Volkswagen has already mastered the art of designing and implementing W-engines. The 18/4 GT was one of the first cars in the series to feature the W-engines.
By 2000, the company was making plans to design and manufacture a 1001hp car that included four turbo-chargers. According to the estimates cited by the company, the car will be able to reach maximum speeds of 407 km/hr. By 2003, the Bugatti Veyron 6.4 officially came into existence. Back then, auto enthusiasts even began to compare the Veyron 6.4 as the "Concorde" among automobiles. Eminent engineers in Bugatti began to work on another concept car model, lovingly named as the 16C Galibier - this car was displayed to the public in 2009 at the Frankfurt Motor Show. From all these information, one can easily understand that this particular auto manufacturer gave much importance to quality of their cars, while the competitors stressed on quantity!
