French ultra-luxury hypercar manufacturer headquartered in Molsheim, built around the legacy of Ettore Bugatti's marque founded in 1909. Owned by Bugatti Rimac since 2021, a joint venture majority-held by Rimac Group with Porsche AG as minority shareholder.
The Blanc Éternel is a one-off Bugatti Mistral built by the Sur Mesure division with the Royal Porcelain Manufacture Berlin (KPM), using genuine porcelain across the cabin and engine bay. It runs the 1,600 hp quad-turbo W16, the last road car built around that engine before Bugatti's move to the Tourbillon's naturally aspirated V16.
Bugatti Automobiles was founded by Ettore Bugatti in Molsheim in 1909, building racing and luxury cars until production halted after the Second World War. Volkswagen Group revived the marque in 1998, and Porsche has overseen it since. In November 2021, Bugatti was folded into Bugatti Rimac, a joint venture with Rimac Group taking the majority stake and Porsche AG retaining a minority share; Rimac founder Mate Rimac serves as CEO of the combined company.
The current lineup is built around the Tourbillon, unveiled in 2024 as the successor to the Chiron, which pairs a naturally aspirated V16 with a hybrid system. The Mistral, an open-top speedster, closed out the era of Bugatti’s quad-turbo 8.0-liter W16 engine, first introduced in the Veyron in 2005 and carried through the Chiron generation.
Every Bugatti is hand-built at the company’s Atelier in Molsheim, the same site where Ettore Bugatti established the marque. Production runs are capped in the dozens per model, and the Sur Mesure personalization division works with clients on one-off and limited-run special editions.
