Great Cars: BUGATTI

There is no other car make that has created the mystique that Ettore Bugatti did with his race winning roadsters and his grand luxury autos. Growing up in a household of artists, his constant companions were poets, painters, sculptors and architects. Bugatti was determined to meld his artistic heritage with his love for the automobile. He not only built the all-conquering racecars of the 1920's, he built the world's rarest and most expensive cars, six Bugatti Royales, (one of which Volkswagen recently purchased for a reported $15 Million). He also built a sleek, aerodynamic train that set a world's speed record and boats that beat nearly everyone. Whatever he created had to be beautiful and fast. We'll see how this son of an artist set out to create his exquisitely crafted legends and turned art into motion.

Seeing the Veyron racing with the several older Bugatti model looks like a child spending time with their grandparents. I love it!

The Bugatti Royale Napoleon is one car type that JAY LENO doesn't have! On another note - I always liked the Avions Voisin Autos. But, my top favorite classic car is the Jaguar SS100 roadster.

@jakekaywell5972 4 жыл бұрын

Jay Leno also doesn't have any Studebakers for some reason. He could easily afford as many as he liked and they are not made of unobtainium yet, so I believe he just doesn't like them. His loss. To your point, I've always found both Voisin and Facel-Vega cars to be woefully under-appreciated.

There’s an error at the beginning; That Royale sold in 1987 for just under $10 million in 1987 money. If I recall, it’s $20 million when adjusted for inflation.

So, Bugatti felt like he lived in his brothers shadow, built cars, found success, then his brother killed himself, the Germans took his factory, WWI, then he built the Royal, no one wanted it, his son dies racing cars, the Germans take his factory again, WWII, French wont give it back, he looked at his old factory and drops dead. Rather depressing.

I read that one of the things that put Rembrandt "over the edge" was when the zoo had to kill all the animals in the zoo when it was over run by the Germans during WWI. He was an animal lover (See all his sculptures) and it was to much for him.

Allow me to explain the problem with Bugatti, the horseshoe grill is a sign of bad luck, a horseshoe should have the open end upwards so the horseshoe holds luck. Turn the horseshoe upside down and the luck falls away. Pretty apt considering what happened to Etore and his son. Mind you the postman survived, he probably had some upright horseshoes at home

The grill isn't a horseshoe; it was inspired by a chair

At 8:38 the say that Bugatti designed the system to fire a machine gun through the blades of a spinning propeller on an airplane. Actually, it was designed by the French engineer Raymond Saulnier in 1915 and then improved by Anthony Fokker a Dutchman.

@overcastfriday81 6 жыл бұрын

Yeah that sounds like BS. Maybe he made a different design that no one used so history books generally don't back up that claim.

@Molo9000 6 жыл бұрын

Multiple engineers in multiple countries worked on syncronization systems and competed with each other. Wikipedia lists more than 20 different designs. Italy was hampered by their machine guns not being suitable for synchronization and thus used foreign guns and synchronization gears. That's probably why nobody ever heard of Bugatti's system.
