YouTuber explores Bugatti factory that's been abandoned for 30 years

The abandoned Italian Bugatti factory hasn’t built a car since 1995, but it’s still standing.

Now, thanks to a bold YouTuber, we finally get to see what’s inside one of the strangest ghost factories in the supercar world.

RangerRickTV recently stepped inside and revealed what time – and Bugatti – left behind.

What was once a hub of innovation is now crumbling, silent, and completely surreal.

The Bugatti factory once represented hope

In the early 1990s, Bugatti set out to shake up the supercar scene.

Led by entrepreneur Romano Artioli, the brand built a futuristic factory in Campogalliano, northern Italy, named the Fabbrica Blu, or ‘Blue Factory.’

Architect Giampaolo Benedini designed it to break every factory convention, from its light-drenched atriums and Carrara marble floors to a full in-house test track.

Inside the Bugatti factory, engineers developed the EB110 – a quad-turbocharged, 12-cylinder supercar that could hit 218MPH and held multiple speed records.

It was fast, exclusive, and eye-wateringly expensive at $350,000. But its timing was off. The luxury car market nosedived, and by 1995, Bugatti filed for bankruptcy.

The factory was shuttered almost overnight. Production halted. Employees were let go. And remarkably, the facility was never cleared out.

Three decades later, RangerRickTV walked through what’s left: rusted machinery, flooded lower levels, graffiti-covered walls, and a few forgotten barrels of Bugatti-blue paint still sitting in place.

Even the original rotating display platform in the main showroom still works.

It’s not just abandoned, it’s preserved – like a museum that no one meant to build.

Bugatti may have left, but the factory still tells its story

Campogalliano was picked for its proximity to Italy’s supercar legends Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Maserati. Bugatti wanted to prove it could outdo them on their own turf.

That didn’t work out. 

After the collapse, Bugatti was reborn in Molsheim, France, where it now produces modern hypercars like the Chiron and Bolide.

The Italian factory, though, was never demolished.

From the air, you can still spot the original layout, from testing grounds to administrative wings. Inside, signs of ambition linger through shattered tiles, decaying fixtures, and the occasional untouched detail.

RangerRickTV’s walkthrough wasn’t just urban exploration – it was a glimpse into one of the boldest chapters in marque’s history.

The Fabbrica Blu is a place that once screamed innovation and now just whispers what could’ve been.
