Bugatti

Bugatti is a French hypercar brand founded by Ettore Bugatti in 1909 and based in Molsheim. Modern Bugatti sits under Bugatti Rimac, alongside Rimac Automobili, and focuses on extremely limited, high-performance luxury cars rather than a conventional model range. Bugatti vehicles have not been officially sold in volume in Australia, so local interest is mostly around private imports, collector cars and international model news.
