Bugatti has made a name for itself as one of the best supercar makers, if not the best in the world.
Everything it builds has a seven-figure price tag and for good reason.
It broke the 300 mph barrier with a modified Chiron in 2020, and it built the Bolide which was voted the most beautiful hypercar in the world that same year.
The company makes waves with every new car it makes, only just last week breaking the internet with the release of the Mistral W16 at Monterey Car Week.
But there are a lot of interesting facts about the car brand that even the most die-hard fans might not know.
So, now’s the time to test your knowledge.
Good luck!
