Bugatti brand grows despite economic climate

Creator of ultra-luxury vehicles eyes Canada and Brazil as two markets with growth potential

The Gazette September 18, 2010 John Hill Market Manager for The Americas Bugatti Automobiles

The past few years have been an exciting time for the Bugatti brand, and as we move into 2011 this is sure to continue. Last year, we celebrated 100 years of Bugatti at our headquarters in Molsheim, France. This celebration coincided with the first deliveries of the Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport: the fastest open-top car available in the world. This past June, we established a new world speed record for a production vehicle with the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Super Sport, which achieved 268 mph!

It is also encouraging that, despite the current economic climate, Bugatti Automobiles has sold over 260 Veyron models and 35 Grand Sports, and the sales pace for 2010 is showing increasing signs of strength.

Deliveries for Bugatti are presently at 249 Veyron models and 22 Grand Sports.

The Super Sport model has an increase in horsepower of 20 per cent to 1,200 hp, and lateral acceleration of 1.36 g's, an increase of 10 per cent over the Veyron 16.4 model. These improvements are achieved through larger turbochargers, additional fuel pumps, and significant changes to the aerodynamics and suspension. The world-record-setting Super Sport will begin production this autumn at Molsheim and the first five cars -known as the World Record Edition -are in a special black exposed carbon and orange finish. The first five of this edition were sold within days of the record-setting run. Prices for the Super Sport range from 1.65 million euros ($2.17 million) for painted carbon, to 1.95 million euros ($2.56 million) for exposed carbon. We estimate that 30 per cent of the total sales volume for the Super Sport will be achieved in the American markets, which is consistent with our experience for the Veyron and Super Sport.

Bugatti has a tradition of making super-sport versions of successful models, usually with racing chassis and supercharged engines. During 2010, we have also shown a four-door concept named the Galibier, which epitomizes the style, power and performance of Bugatti models from years past. The Galibier's design masters the challenge of uniting sportiness with the comfort and elegance of a modern fourdoor vehicle. The basic architecture picks up on the torpedo-like character of the Type 35, which was already revived in the Veyron, and reinterprets it. "Galibier" is not just the name of one of the most difficult alpine passes along the Tour de France but, in its time, was a version of the fourdoor Type 57 unequalled in sportiness and elegance.

Continuous work in the extreme performance range leads our engineers and designers to new conclusions, which is what makes Bugatti so exciting. Our team is able to develop the Veyron into a direction in which the driver reaches new dimensions. Every modification is designed to produce an even more powerful car for an agile ride.

People are constantly fascinated by the ultra-luxury segment of the market -what kind of people buy our cars, where they go in the world and where they drive them. We find that our cars are purchased by entrepreneurs and business people with a passion for automobiles. They range in interests but typically, the Veyron and its sister vehicles are not the only car in the garage. Typically, they are neighboured by upwards of 15 other cars.

More recently, the Oxnard, Calif., Mullin Automotive Museum showcased Bugatti's history when it showcased the 1936 Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic. This car has been recognized as one of the world's most significant automobiles and it is now included in one of the finest collections of Bugattis that can be found anywhere in the world.

Our reach goes beyond museums; we foresee growth within the Americas as we plan to enter two new markets in 2011 -Canada and Brazil. Both areas are vastly expanding and we anticipate great success.

As seen by our company's 100-year history in performance, craftmanship and design, Bugatti is here to stay.

We already know that the Volkswagen Up city car is going to spawn different versions for a number of other brands in the VW family, including Seat, Skoda, and even Audi.

There are rumors, however, that another VW-owned brand is going to get its own city car
. Specifically, that brand people keep referring to is Bugatti.

What, you ask? A Bugatti city car?

Well, nothing’s been confirmed yet, but there’s growing speculation that this spy video of two camouflaged cars of VW UP prototypes could have a Bugatti offspring in the future. Take it for what it’s worth but it does make for an interesting scenario.

Now that Aston Martin has dived head-on into the city car segment with Cygnet, it wouldn’t be a far-fetched idea for a high-end luxury brand to follow suit. Add that to the enormous resources Volkswagen has and we wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if see a little Bugatti running around the world’s cities in the future.

Bugatti city car in the works? Topspeed.com

Rumor ???????

:shock: :?:

Bugatti and Ferrari in the same group ?

VW's Piech may be eyeing Ferrari stake
By PAUL MCVEIGH on 11/10/2010

Is Volkswagen chairman Ferdinand Piech eyeing Ferrari as the next acquisition to add to VW group's collection of brands? Some in the German press think so.

Piech has already said openly that he would like VW to buy Fiat's Alfa Romeo marque--but the "real object of his desire," is Ferrari, Manager Magazin says in its current issue.

VW already has plenty of sporty brands. It is merging Porsche into its portfolio and owns Lamborghini. In 1998, VW bought the rights to the Bugatti marque, supposedly after Piech's son was thrilled at seeing a vintage miniature Bugatti in a toy shop.

With a cash pile of $27 billion (19.6 billion euros), VW can easily afford Ferrari, Fiat's most profitable brand, which financial analysts value at between $3.16 billion to $4.82 billion (2.3 billion and 3.5 billion euros).

In September, Marchionne denied an Italian newspaper report that Fiat may sell Ferrari to raise funds to increase its stake in Chrysler Group, but the Fiat-Chrysler CEO did not rule out selling part of the Italian super car unit.

Rumors in Italy say Fiat may sell shares in Ferrari in an initial public offering while retaining a 51 percent stake.

That could open the door to Piech. Some industry watchers say the 73-year-old would be happy even with a minimum stake in Ferrari.

The 2011 Detroit Auto Show is all about showing off new models for most automakers but this year, Bentley and Bugatti used the industry’s biggest stage for an official change of their chief executive officer (CEO) as Dr. Franz-Josef Paefgen handed over the keys to the two super-exotic auto companies to 52 year old Wolfgang Dürheimer

An even faster Veyron on the way

http://www.autoblog.com/2011/01/12/rumo ... t-270-mph/

Bugatti is reportedly beginning work on the next generation Veyron, and rumor has it that they're looking to hit Ludicrous Speed. Okay, maybe it won't go quite that fast, but with a target of 270 miles per hour, it figures to be pretty darn close.

According to AutoExpress, despite losing money on each one it builds, Volkswagen Group has no plans to watch its mighty hypercar fade away, and the next version will stick to the business of shattering perceptions of what a production car can do. Reportedly, the 8.0-liter W16 engine and its quad-turbo setup will return in a similar form as is employed in the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport. However, the new car will head to the scales and produce a number far below what we see in current Veyron models. It will achieve this through more extensive use of lightweight alloys and carbon-composite materials.

If AE is reading its tea leaves correctly, the new warp-speed Bugatti Veyron to make an appearance
