Classic Bugatti Autos (102)
Ettore Bugatti, designer of the Bugatti, was born into an artist's family in Milan, Italy in 1881. His father was a famous sculptor and furniture designer, and his brother Rembrandt was also a famous sculptor. Ettore himself was a self-trained automotive engineer with a passion for racing cars. Ettore's son, Jean, further enhanced the Bugatti automobile and contributed to its present fame.

The Bugatti has gone through several transformations over the years. Although it's no longer controlled by the Bugatti family, it is still highly prized by collectors and others who enjoy the Bugatti legacy.
