Bugatti is one of the fastest and most prestigious car manufacturers in the world and is loved eternally by car enthusiasts and the rich and famous – who are about the only people who can afford them.

Bugatti released its first car in 1910, which was called the Type 13.

It had a 1.4-liter engine and possessed just 30 horsepower – a stark difference to today’s supercar fleet members.

Here are some of the most googled questions about the car giant – get ready to build your knowledge on the supercar fleet.

Who founded Bugatti and when was Bugatti founded?

The luxury car brand was founded in 1909 by Ettore Bugatti.

The car whizz set up what is now one of the best car brands in the world in Molsheim, France.

Where are Bugattis built?

Believe it or not, they are made in the same place that they originally sprang to life – Molsheim.

But they aren’t pumped out at full throttle speed.

Instead, due to large amounts of detail and the fact they are handmade, Bugatti produce around 70 Chirons every 365 days.

That’s still rather impressive, when you think about the intricate systems involved in these bad boys.

Which is the fastest Bugatti?

The quickest contender that the supercar company make is the Chiron Super Sport+.

And – as you can guess by the name – it can hit mighty speeds.

If you fancy hitting a whopping 304mph, we recommend getting your hands on one of these – just beware of the price tag, estimated to be around $4 million.

Which is the most expensive Bugatti?

Now, the need for speed comes with a hefty price tag.

We’re not talking thousands, we’re talking tens of millions.

In fact, the most expensive Bugatti ever made cost a mighty $15 million.

Ouch.

But the build was rather impressive, as it should be for that price too.

It was a one-of-a-kind tribute to a supercar from the deep depths of Bugatti’s past and aptly named La Voiture Noire – leaving little to the imagination when it comes to guessing the car’s color.

Who owns the most expensive Bugatti?

It won’t come as a surprise that you have to be part of the elite to be able to afford to splash millions on one car.

So, despite the rumoured owner being Cristiano Ronaldo – ex-Volkswagen honcho the late Ferdinand Piëch’s name has been thrown about too – the identity of the true owner remains unknown.

What other models do the company build?

Bugatti also builds other flashy models too.

The company truly loves the Chiron – in fact, it makes quite a few.

Many Chiron editions make up a Molsheim super fleet.

Members of that fleet include the Chiron Pur Sport, Super Sport 300+, but some others have emerged too.

The Centodieci plus the very expensive Voiture Noire, Divo and the Veyron, Bolide and Mistral also make the supercar fleet an impressive bunch.

Oh, and who could forget the Tourbillon? – Just listen to it.

The question that looms next though?

What will Bugatti grace the planet with next?

As the future turns electric, could we see them make that shift?

After all, Bugatti Rimac CEO Mate Rimac owns a bespoke electric hypercar company too.

Stranger things have happened.
