Bugatti (Italy) - AllCarIndex

Bugatti was an Italian automotive brand that operated from 1987 to 1995. This period marked a revival of the historic Bugatti name, which had originally been founded in 1909 by the Italian-born French automobile designer Ettore Bugatti. The brand was known for its high-performance sports cars and luxury vehicles, continuing the legacy of its founder.

During its Italian phase, Bugatti was based in Campogalliano, Italy, and was owned by the Italian company Romano Artioli. The brand aimed to produce exclusive and technologically advanced automobiles, which included the Bugatti EB110, a supercar that featured a quad-turbocharged V12 engine and all-wheel drive. The EB110 was notable for its innovative design and engineering, showcasing the brand's commitment to performance and luxury.

Despite its ambitious goals and the production of the EB110, Bugatti faced financial difficulties in the mid-1990s, leading to its closure in 1995. The brand's legacy continued, however, as it was later revived under Volkswagen AG, which introduced new models that paid homage to the original Bugatti heritage.
