The TRAGIC Story Of Bugatti

The story behind Bugatti, is a story of success and tragedy. To understand what I’m saying, we have to go back a century ago, in the basement of a house from Germany. Ettore Bugatti had just finished building his car, so he decided to leave his job and start up his own company in France. During the next few years, he created some of the fastest and luxurious cars under his name, becoming one of the best engineers at his time. But despite his success, it all came down overnight when Ettore was forced to give away his company, never knowing what the Bugatti brand turned out to be…

I want to thank everyone for the support and critics from the video! I’m reading every single comment so far and I’m also now aware of the mistakes and mispronounced names I made in the video. I will do my best to make sure this won’t happen again. There will be another updated Bugatti video correcting all these problems, hopefully you guys stay for future videos🙂, Thanks again for watching.

[@giggiddy]

Don't take the comments to heart. Just take notes and move on. And please don't fixate on pronunciation as nobody is perfect in English, especially folks where its not their first language (we see that alot on KZbin). Get the facts as accurate as you can and push out the video. People need to understand that you do not have a Disney/Hollywood budget. You're doing great and ignore the haters that are too scared to have their own channel. Thanks for what you do for us. We appreciate it and your KZbin future is bright!

It was mis managed in the early 90's, remember jaguar and Ford had more money and slower cars than the EB110. Just remember that there was a few EB110 that was faster and quicker, Ford and Jaguar had more money at that time. How about a video on Bugatti about the EB110 , all of the EB110 not the chocked down version.

No, not really. The current Bugatti cars have zero connection to the older company. Now it is merely a brand name owned by WV. There is a very long dormant stretch between Ettore's cars and those made later.

[@alexmarsalis1690]

Wasn't the cyclist a mailman? The road he was on was the testing track owned by Bugatti. The mailman was disgruntled that this land was private, as it offered him a short cut. He had been caught on the track before and asked to leave. Eventually, the accident happened because of his insubordination. That is the way I heard it anyway

This effing idiot changed the history. Only if jean Bugatti was alive, ettore hadn't have seen such a tragic end of his life and Bugatti too would have been on the level or even above ferrari in racing world.

[@kyleking284]

This was a great story of a man with a vision to go above the boundaries of automobile engineering! Bugatti created so many extraordinary cars during his lifetime (Type 41 is absolutely stunning!) Even with all the tragedies in his life, his company still lives on! Amazing! Thank You so much for this video I now have a deeper respect for the name BUGATTI🌟🌷🏁

[@michaelashcraft8569]

Strange how Mortality factors in to the continuity of Man's history, I wish the Bugatti family could see the result of their genius, EXTREMELY good video!!

[@uncinarynin]

Seeing all the Bugattis in the car museum of Mulhouse I thought that Bugatti must at some point have been a very widespread brand. But later I learned I was not and it was the Schlumpf brothers who secretly were the most enthusiastic Bugatti collectors of their time. In fact Bugatti never really got into mass productions, focusing on racing and luxury cars, so at any time in history they were a rarity.

[@synchole]

So the Bugatti's were just like Koenigsegg and Pagani?

[@uncinarynin]

@@synchole A bit more, Bugatti type 44 was built in 1095 units 1927 to 1931 (with a great variety of custom-built bodies). Still a rarity compared to the mass-produced brands, even back then. Modern day Bugattis are built in series of 500. Most Koenigsegg were produced in less than 100 but they want to produce 300 Gemera. Pagani seems to produce in series of 100.

This is such a great and dramatic story. Can I respectfully offer some criticisms? There are so many jarring visuals and unrelated movie clips. You talked about WWI, while showing clips from WWII movies, while talking about cars from the 1920s, you show clips from Ford vs Ferrari, clips from Titanic, Wolf of Wall Street, and other completely unrelated sources. It was all very distracting.
