| Bugatti Italian born Ettore Bugatti produced his first car in 1899 at the age of 19. In 1909 he started his factory in Molsheim, Alsace. Bugattis were known for their advanced engineering in their premium road cars. The company's success culminated with driver Jean-Pierre Wimille winning the 24 hours of Le Mans twice (in 1937 with Robert Benoist and 1939 with Pierre Veyron). Volkswagen AG purchased the rights to produce cars under the Bugatti marque in 1998. |

![]() | Re: [scans] Gordon Murray on the Bugatti Veyron Even though Gordon Murray is a legend in designing 100% focused driver's car maybe sometimes he need to losen up a bit. Not every car is built to be a 100% drivers car and he should stop complaining about them. E.g Veyron ment to be just a showcase car, many people know VAG just wants to show the world what can be done. Not to forget the way he disagree with the Mclaren and MB executives in deciding the purpose of the SLR and then he just walked out from the project. |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Re: [scans] Gordon Murray on the Bugatti Veyron Gordon Murray just so happend to be responsible for the MClaren F1 which is one of thee most prized vehicles ever made. However his being reponsible for the sensational ubercar doesn't make him some expert on automobiles (engineering; yes). He's more a typical auto journalist than anything. |

I respect his opinions alot but automotive journalism is not what he should be doing. He seems to compare every car he drives to the McLaren F1. If he continues doing that he will never be pleased with a car! |
