She comes ! Before your amazed eyes, this is the first image of the Bugatti hypercar which will soon take over from the Veyron and Chiron.
Nice profile, right? The traditional arc that frames the doors is… no longer really circular, while the rear diffuser appears more imposing than ever. We find the (very) mobile rear wing, the LED curves as taillights, and the plunging snout (on a horseshoe grille that we can still only imagine from this angle).
Mechanically, we only know the essentials: the legendary W16 8 liter quad-turbo gives way to a hybrid V16. We still don't know its characteristics, but we can already announce performances superior to those of the W16, which developed between 1500 and 1600 hp depending on the versions of the Chiron.
It will be interesting to see the effect of this change of direction on the mass of the future Bugatti: electrification is heavy, but the colossal W16 weighed a dead donkey (or even two) with its ten radiators and oversized accessories . The Chiron thus flirted with two tonnes even in its lightest versions. For comparison, not far in the Volkswagen group's organizational chart, a Lamborghini Revuelto weighs 1772 kg with its 1015 hp 6.5 liter atmospheric hybrid V12, housed like the W16 Bugatti in a carbon monocoque.
The metallic brown non camouflaged car is a rendering based on the camouflaged car-photo, found on autoevolution.com
What the car will really look like? It will be presented on June 22. So let's wait... Or, probably there will be another teaser before that!

Bugatti's Boni, by Véronique Fromanger
The fascination exerted by these great aristocrats on their contemporaries turned them into models for numerous novel heroes; Marcel Proust said that they were "the beauty teachers for an entire generation". An intimate of the Bugatti family since Milan, Paolo Troubetzkoy guided Rembrandt Bugatti through the salons of Paris; during a brief stay, before returning to the Antwerp zoo to his good friends the wild animals, Bugatti produced a few rare portraits. All were cast in bronze, in one single edition, by the undisputed master of lost-wax casting: A. A. Hébrard.
At the time of the Belle Époque, ladies invited artists, poets and other personalities to balls so as to add glamour to their luxurious receptions. It was there that Bugatti met one of these amazing characters and, during a private visit, sculpted an outstanding portrait of Marquis Boniface de Castellane in his hunting costume; with a single line, Bugatti captured the soul of this great lord. An aesthete and a collector, Boniface de Castellane always took great care of his appearance. Even in the face of adversity, he always endeavored to remain worthy of his most illustrious ancestor, Talleyrand. Politically very active, he was also a great sportsman.
Gooding & Co Selections From The Mullin Collection Auction, Oxnard, CA, USA, April 26, 2024
This was quite a succesful auction! Many of the Bugatti's went above their top estimates, though admittedly some estimates were on the low side. The Mullin and Schlumpf provenance will have helped, though the six million for the T57C Aravis is a top price for such a Bugatti.

Top Gear was the first to be invited by Bugatti to experience some track-miles in the Bolide, which is currently being developed into a "series"-production (40 examples only) track-only hypercar. With former Le Mans winner and Bugatti testdriver Andy Wallace at the wheel, Top Gear's Jack Rix was very much impressed!
Just watch the video and enjoy!
The Louwman museum in the Hague, the Netherlands, recently rose to an all-time high score of 4.8 at Google Reviews out of almost 10,000 submissions. With this they have achieved a higher rating than the 25 most visited museums in the Netherlands. Do you know a museum in the Netherlands with a higher rating than 4.7?
I have been to quite a few automobile museums worldwide, and I don't think there is any better museum. Or maybe you can convince me of the opposite?
And of course, the Louwman museum is not a car-museum focussing on one single marque only, though they do have a collection of almost all surviving Spyker automobiles, there is a very interesting selection of Bugatti cars!

Not one, but two painted portraits by Carlo Bugatti were announced to be auctioned recently.
The complete history of Carlo Bugatti, and especially what exactly he did after changing to France, remains clouded in mystery. There's silverware (with two silver platters also being announced to be auctioned recently), some furniture, a few paintings and some other items. Nobody seems to have a complete overview.
More surprising this set of paintings, both are of the same size (92 x 67 cm) were painted in oil on canvas, and were signed "Bugatti" in the lower right corner. No date. Being of identical size, it is probable that the man and woman are indeed a couple, and somehow they seem familiar. Does anybody know who they are?
If you want to bid on either of the paintings (or both), you can go to
the Drouot site for the one or
the other portrait.

Broad Arrow Auctions The Amelia Auction, March 1, 2024
And let's us hear it's roar.
With each generation of its hyper sports car, Bugatti has shifted the benchmark of design, engineering, performance and craftsmanship to new heights. And this year, eight years to the day since the Chiron was revealed, Bugatti shows the world the first page of the newest chapter in its rich history.
In June, the modern-day lineage of Bugatti – first established with the Veyron 16.4 – will welcome its latest evolution; a new automotive pinnacle with a V16 hybrid powertrain at its heart. Incomparable in every detail, it is a pure embodiment of Bugatti’s DNA, created not just for the present, or even the future – but “Pour l’éternité”.
Thus, not just a new engine, in fact an engine for all eternity! That must be something really special then...
You can enjoy the sound of the new engine (lots of carbon, by the way) in the very short video below.
Arturo Keller, who has passed away aged 91, was one of the greatest but least well known of all the leading car collectors worldwide. He was more to himself than other collectors like Peter Mullin (who passed away last year), and his collection was not publicly accessible. However, Arturo’s passion for cars was immense, and his collection at The Pyramids was seen only by a chosen few and documented in a book gifted only to his closest friends.
He was best known for his love of pre-WWII Mercedes-Benz, although Ferraris, pre-war Alfa Romeos and many other marques also featured prominently. The list of Bugatti's he owned is rather long also, I looked them up and these are shown below.
I'm not sure if the above list is complete, but it does give a good impression! It must be the second largest collection of Type 57S Bugatti's, after the Schlumpf's.
With wife Deborah, Arturo was a popular and prolific entrant to the Pebble Beach Concours of Elegance, winning Best of Show on three occasions. The most recent accolade was for their 1938 Mercedes-Benz 540K Autobahn-Kurier, at the 70th running of the concours, in August 2021. Their first win was in 1986, on the centenary of Mercedes, with a 1936 500K Special Roadster. In fact, they took six Mercedes to the event that year, and went home with six awards – in addition to the concours’ top prize, the cars earned a special award for Best Mercedes, two Firsts in Class, and two Second in Class awards.
Although of Swiss origin, Arturo Keller was born in Mexico City, and later became a resident of the US. His success came with the production of automotive upholstery, which led him to San Francisco, supplying all of the main five automotive companies operating in North America: General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, Volkswagen and Nissan. From the proceeds of the company, he was able to start building a car collection, with early acquisitions including a Talbot-Lago T150 SS Teardrop Coupé and a 1936 Hispano-Suiza – which was his first restoration and the first car he took to Pebble Beach.
Arturo and Deborah came across their 650-acre estate in the 1980s, while driving one of their cars on a tour of the Sonoma region of northern California, and fell in love with it. It was here where they built up the collection, which is now housed in five huge buildings, each one dedicated to a different nation: the US, Great Britain, Germany, France and Italy. To keep the cars exercised, they built a road that winds around the property.
Later, they moved into wine production, planting vines on the estate. Being on the edge of the Sonoma region, the land had never previously been used for wine production, but they succeeded: Keller Estate wines are now world renowned. The company is run by Arturo’s youngest daughter Ana, producing about 5000 cases a year of chardonnay, pinot noir, syrah and pinot gris.
The use and conservation of collector cars was always Arturo’s true passion, though, and Pebble Beach was particularly special to him.
The car world will miss Arturo Keller’s quiet contributions to the scene. We send our sincere condolences to his wife Deborah, daughter Ana and the rest of the Keller family.

Bonhams' the Scottsdale auction, January 25, 2024
One might remember the Bugatti replica's, or tribute cars one might call them, which have now long been out of production. Starting with a Type 55, powered by an in-line 6 from BMW back in the late 1970's. There came more versions of this car, also with more racy fenders, then calles the Type 55 Grand Prix.
After several years of relative silence from de la Chapelle, they now present the next model (serie 6), the Atalante V8, with a 6.7 litre Corvette engine, delivering 461 HP, and lots of torque. The car was also made 20 cm longer, and 10 cm wider. From the front and side the car looks as good as it used to, however from the rear it looks just too wide...
Read this article on the car: in the French magazine L'Argus.
I asked Xavier de la Chapelle for some comment on this car, and the current plans, and he tells us the following:
.
Some prefer the L6, some prefer the V8 which has been completely developed from a white sheet and is a bit bigger in size compare to the L6 and with more room inside.
May be we will relaunch the L6 for some customers in the future.

After the passing away of it's founder, Peter Mullin, on September 18 last year, it may not come as a total surprise that his museum will close it's doors. The last chance to visit will be on Saturday, February 10.
Peter and Merle Mullin founded the Oxnard-based museum in 2010 to educate guests about 20th-century French automotive styling and design by showcasing the finest vehicles, sculptures and artifacts from the most-esteemed French master coachbuilders. The museum boasts nearly 47,000 square feet of exhibit space in an elegantly designed structure, which was previously owned by legendary newspaper publisher Otis Chandler. In addition to its sweeping gallery spaces, the museum includes a roof garden, theater, gift shop and archival storage.
Peter was inspired by Art Deco design and was equally passionate about sharing it with the public. To continue that legacy, four of the collection’s most iconic vehicles have been donated to the Petersen Automotive Museum. The 1937 Talbot-Lago T150 CS “Teardrop,” the 1938 Hispano Suiza H6B Dubonnet Xenia, the 1939 Delahaye 165 and the 1938 Delahaye 145 will now become part of the Petersen Automotive Museum, which Peter helped transform into the globally respected automotive institution it is today as part of a major overhaul a decade ago.
“Sharing these ‘rolling sculptures’ and beautiful art with others was Peter’s truest passion, and the museum helped bring that vision to life,” said Merle Mullin, director of the Mullin Automotive Museum. “We are deeply indebted to our staff, docents, volunteers, visitors and supporters who have dedicated their time and passion over the past 13 years. I hope past and first-time visitors will have a chance to say goodbye before we close.”
The museum will be open on a limited basis through Saturday, Feb. 10. Please visit mullinautomotivemuseum.com for opening dates and hours.
So far the official announcement. At the time there was no information about what will happen to the rather extensive Bugatti collection, with not just cars, but also parts, a You-you boat, Carlo Bugatti furniture and Rembrandt Bugatti sculpture.

For several decades, the “black car” as it is nicknamed has caused a lot of ink to flow. It is thanks to the brand historian Pierre-Yves Laugier that its existence will be highlighted (we invite you to obtain his work on the Bugatti 57 Sport). From then on, every collector car enthusiast has fantasized about discovering one, at the bottom of a barn, under thick blankets. She has made, still makes and will make many fans dream and her quest, like that of the Santa Maria, has become legendary. Some say that if it appeared, it would become the most desired car in the world.
The chassis plate that we are presenting to you is therefore the one that was affixed to the car when it left the factory on October 3, 1936. The black car will then be photographed with different registrations (very common at Bugatti) and the last written trace, in February 1941 in Bordeaux, mentions it as #57454, the original plate #57453 was therefore already separated from the car just before it disappeared.
But when and why were the plate and the car separated?
One theory caught our attention:
In any case, it is a significant piece of the puzzle that has kept the collector car world in suspense for decades. To our knowledge, it is also the only piece of the factory's black car whose authenticity and ownership are beyond doubt.
May 29 - June 2, 2024 100e anniversaire du Grand Prix Bugatti
Bourgogne, France
Below some photographs of the event, as it was held in the Baie du Somme in 2014
We had the opportunity to set up this exposition in the episcopal building of the town and if you ever come you will be astonished by the location.
For the first time in France, Carlo, Rembrandt and Ettore will be displayed in the same place.
Everything on display will have a perfect provenance.
It was during a friendly lunch that Marc Stammegna, Adolphe Monticelli expert,
art dealer, enlightened connoisseur of bronzes by Rembrandt Bugatti, and François
Melcion, former director of Rétromobile, discuss their shared passion for
Bugatti family.
From this meeting emerges the idea of ??a tribute to the family trilogy.
Thanks to his 50 years of experience in the world of classic automobiles, which have
led to take charge of the “Rétromobile” show in Paris, François Melcion
was able to bring together a large number of emblematic vehicles.
For his part, Marc Stammegna is responsible for the presentation of a large selection
of works by Rembrandt Bugatti.
Finally, the fruit of joint work made it possible to bring together remarkable furniture
and exceptional pieces of silverwork by Carlo Bugatti.
CARLO BUGATTI (1856 Milan – 1940 Molsheim)
Very quickly, his artistic reputation asserted itself and his furniture adorned the most refined apartments of the European aristocracy.
Carlo intends to maintain a deep connection between the organic world of nature and his artistic technique. He uses the most varied materials to mix them into a unique piece of furniture, a true work of art.
His talent and genius are now recognized:
For his goldsmith pieces, he joined forces with the founder Hebrard whose technical genius allowed him to give free rein to his vision.
He settled permanently in France in 1904, in Paris, then in Pierrefonds, where he was Mayor, and finally in Molsheim where he joined his son Ettore and his grandson Jean.
ETTORE BUGATTI (1881 Milan – 1947 Neuilly s/Seine)
From a very young age, he designed mechanical parts and at the age of 14, he revealed his passion for mechanics.
From his time at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan, he retained a pronounced taste for aesthetics and simplicity, "the originality of the design is nothing without the perfection of the execution" and from 1898, he manufactured his first motorized tricycle.
In 1899, he manufactured a motorized quadricycle (the Type 1), then in 1900, he manufactured his first automobile, the Type 2, which won the grand prize at the Milan international automobile show.
After collaborating with Émile Mathis, then the German manufacturer Deutz, he finally founded his own brand in 1909 in Molsheim, then on German territory.
He will also build aircraft engines, boats and railcars powered by the 12.7 liter engine of the Bugatti Royale. In 1934, these railcars set a speed record of 192 km/h! The path to the TGV is all mapped out!!!
The golden age of the brand was in the 20s and 30s when Jean joined his father in the design office. Together they designed the Types 37, 40, 41, the famous “Royale”, the 43 which reached a speed of 170 km/h, then followed by the Types 44 which met with great commercial success and the 46 known as “little Royale”, the latest model. designed by Ettore.
The 55, designed by Jean, will leave its mark with its aesthetic, a timeless mark in the world of automobiles.
The following cars were designed by Jean, including the Type 57 and its derivatives.
Bugatti won the 24 hours of Le Mans twice: in 1937 with Robert Benoist and Jean-Pierre Wimille, at the wheel of a Type 57G, then in 1939, with Jean-Pierre Wimille and Pierre Veyron with a Type 57C.
The death of Jean, at the wheel of a racing Bugatti in 1939, began the decline of the brand and Ettore would never recover from this premature death.
During the war, the brand was “confiscated” by the Germans and disappeared despite the last battle of Ettore who succeeded in recovering the Molsheim factory at the liberation, but could never restart the activity due to lack of resources and customers.
In 37 years, the Bugatti brand will have produced nearly 7,500 luxury cars, filed nearly 1,000 patents, won more than 10,000 victories, including 2,000 for the Bugatti 35 alone (an unrivaled success to date) and established 37 records.
REMBRANDT BUGATTI (1884 Milan – 1916 Paris)
Self-taught, from his childhood he spent a lot of time in his father's workshop, immersing himself in techniques while letting his mind open.
At 16, he created a large “group of cows”, and three years later, in 1904, he signed an exclusive contract with Adrien Hebrard.
Exhibitions followed at the Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts, at the Louvre, and at the Salon d'Automne at the Grand Palais where he was placed next to Rodin who admired his work.
In 1904, Hébrard dedicated an exhibition to him in his gallery on rue Royale, which was renewed every year until 1913.
Unfortunately, after his suicide in 1916 and as a result of crises and wars, many of his bronzes were melted down in order to recover the metal. He will once again become the most sought-after animal sculptor in the world, from the 1970s, thus proving right.
Rodin when speaking to his students, he evoked Rembrandt Bugatti with these words: “Young people, here is your new master”
The animals sculpted by Rembrandt Bugatti are not imaginary but real animal portraits captured by the artist's subtle examination.
His bronzes placed under paintings by Van Dongen, Matisse, Derain and other masters are in full osmosis with the great Fauve artists.
In 1909, when he created the “Grand Anteater” or the “Baboin”, he created works close to Cubism, without even knowing Picasso.
The work of Rembrandt Bugatti is pure talent.

Rembrandt Bugatti is of course famous for his sculptures (though there are drawings also), almost all of these are of various animals. The animals are usually in a lifelike, though rather calm, position and setting. Sculptures of humans are rather scarce.
Véronique Fromanger, "Une trajectoire foudroyante ; Rembrandt Bugatti", les Éditions de l'Amateur, 2016. See p.183. "Plâtre, collection particulière. Fonte Albino Palazzolo: en l'état des connaissances, sous toutes réserves, le tirage en bronze répertorié à ce jour est d'un exemplaire."
In 1912, young Italian sculptor Rembrandt Bugatti wrote to his brother Ettore "[...] you can use my workshop whenever you like and for as long as you like. I'm surprised about the bust of the Prince: it's been ready for a long time and you can tell him on my behalf to go and get it, and that he doesn't have to pay anything [...]". He’s talking about the portrait of Prince Paolo Troubetzkoy, who was introduced to Parisian social life during the Belle Époque by the impertinent, eccentric, haughty and profound aesthetes that were Count Robert de Montesquiou and Marquis Boniface de Castellane (photo on the right).

This is what Bugatti itself has to say about it.
“IF COMPARABLE, IT IS NO LONGER BUGATTI” – THE NEXT CHAPTER
At this point, Bugatti does not give any further information, however, as the new car will be a hybrid, the V16 will be probably of smaller capacity than it's "W16" big brother. W16 was of course never correct, it has always been a VVR16, but that aside. But, being of smaller capacity, it will probably be faster revving. Probably even as much of 900 HP from maybe 5 litres or so. Don't count on a cheaper automobile, though. We'll see what the car looks like, all technical details and what the price is in June, or probably before, as we known Bugatti, they will come with some teasers and snips of information.

How nicely built these cars were, and useable with their modern mechanics, they were still recognizable as replica's, compared with the original Type 55 by Bugatti, the dimensions were just not correct, not good enough. That changed in 1992 with the introduction of the Type 57S Atalante (or serie 5, on the right), dimensions and shape of this car are so good, that one might even mistake it for the real deal. With one exception: The cast aluminium wheels, which suit the car rather well.
The V8 is at the moment a one-off done on special order for a customer who had the Atalante L6 before.
Both are very interesting to drive. The V8 is really impressive with almost 450 bhp! In comparison, the more powerful L6 versions were “only” 250 bhp
The price indication for this car is €500,000.
January 18, 2024
Now, a few days later, the first cars have been announced for auction.
January 3, 2024
Bugatti news, former issues
Gooding & Company has been entrusted with the sale of select lots from the revered Mullin Collection, comprising the most rare, coveted, and unique French, Art Deco, and European vehicles and automobilia, offered entirely without reserve. Featured lots from the auction include this Bugatti Type 57C Aravis ‘Special Cabriolet’, one of only three examples of the Gangloff-bodied Aravis that survive today.
The original chassis plate of the Bugatti Atlantic 57SC disappeared.
In June 1937, chassis number #57453 was assigned to a Gangloff Sedan. We can therefore assume that the chassis plate was taken from the Atlantic and installed on the Sedan. This theory is all the more plausible because in June 1939, the Atlantic was loaned to the King of Belgium under the identity #57454. The black car will be photographed one last time in Molsheim in 1939, before leaving for Bordeaux. The Sedan with the original plate #57453 will continue its journey and pass into the hands of Jean De Dobbeleer around 1958, surely unaware that he has the factory Atlantic plate in his hands. Decades later, the plate would be found on another car, which we know had passed to De Dobbeleer.

June 22 - October 13, 2024 Bugatti Exposition "Une Dynastie de créateurs"
Uzes, France
This Bugatti exposition, organized by Francois Melcion - who used to organize Retromobile, is in a small town called Uzes(located in the south of France at 40 kms from Avignon) which is a fantastic medieval town.
He inherited the gifts of his father Giovanni, who was a renowned sculptor and architect in Italy and Europe.
In 1880, he began his career as a cabinetmaker by offering his first work to his sister, on the occasion of her marriage to Segantini, an Italian symbolist painter.
1888: honorary diploma from the Italian exhibition at Earl’s Court in London,
1900: silver medal at the Paris Universal Exhibition.
At the height of his career, in 1902 Carlo obtained the honorary diploma from the 1st international exhibition of modern art in Turin where he exhibited four rooms including the one considered his masterpiece: “the snail room”.
This exhibition is the starting point for art nouveau in Italy.
To the Queen of Italy, who describes his creations as “Moorish style”, he responds “you are wrong, Majesty, this style is mine”.
Ettore raised the automobile to the rank of Fine Arts, making him a pioneer and Bugatti a myth of the luxury, sports and competition automobile industry.
In just 15 years, from 1900 to 1915, Rembrandt Bugatti, thanks to his innovative approach coupled with his exceptional genius, opened an impressionist door to the art of sculpture.
Thanks to his meeting with Adrien Hébrard, founder, magician of patinas and Palazzolo, goldsmith and trimmer, Rembrandt's bronzes are light and alive, with eternal beauty.
Bugatti Club Denmark has the ambition to explore
and experience all corners of the Danish kingdom with their
faithful cars. Since the club’s rebirth in 2018, they have thus
already enjoyed exquisite roads in North Jutland, Central
Jutland, on Funen, on Bornholm and in North Zealand. In
total, we have driven around 2200 kilometers to date ac
cording to roadbooks and maps and in all kinds of weather.
