'''Automobiles Ettore Bugatti''' was a German then French [[automotive industry|manufacturer]] of [[high performance vehicle|high-performance automobiles]]. The company was founded in 1909 in the then-[[German Empire|German]] city of [[Molsheim]], [[Alsace]], by the Italian-born industrial designer [[Ettore Bugatti]]. The cars were known for their design beauty and numerous race victories. Famous Bugatti automobiles include the [[Bugatti Type 35|Type 35 Grand Prix]] cars, the [[Bugatti Royale|Type 41 "Royale"]], the [[Bugatti Type 57|Type 57 "Atlantic"]] and the [[Bugatti Type 55|Type 55]] sports car.

The death of Ettore Bugatti in 1947 proved to be a severe blow to the [[marque]], and the death of his son [[Jean Bugatti|Jean]] in 1939 meant that there was no successor to lead the factory. With no more than about 8,000 cars made, the company struggled financially, and it released one last model in the 1950s before eventually being purchased for its airplane parts business in 1963.

In 1987, an Italian entrepreneur bought the brand name and revived it as [[#Bugatti Automobili S.p.A.
