	Bugatti is a French car manufacturer founded in 1909 in Molsheim, Alsace, as a  manufacturer of high-performance automobiles by Italian-born Ettore Bugatti. Bugattis were well known for the beauty of their designs (Ettore Bugatti was from a family  of artists and considered himself to be both an artist and constructor) and for the large  number of races they won.  The death of Ettore Bugatti in 1947 proved to be the end for the marque, and  the death of his son Jean in 1939 ensured there wasn't a successor to lead the factory.  No more than about 8000 cars were made. The company struggled financially, and released  one last model in the 1950s, before eventually being purchased for its airplane parts business in the 1960s. Today the name is owned by Volkswagen Group, who have revived it as a builder of limited production exclusive sports cars.
