==Design== Bugatti models are known to focus on design.<ref>{{Cite web |title=A closer look at the Bugatti Chiron's design |url=https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/bugatti-chiron-design-exterior-interior-close-look/ |access-date=2024-05-24 |website=CNET |language=en}}</ref> [[Engine block]]s were [[hand scraper|hand scraped]] to ensure that the surfaces were flat so that gaskets were not required for sealing, and many of the exposed surfaces of the engine compartment featured ''[[guillochΓ©]]'' finishes on them. Safety wires were threaded through most fasteners in intricately laced patterns. Rather than bolt the springs to the [[axle]]s as most manufacturers did, Bugatti's axles were forged such that the spring passed through an opening in the axle, a much more elegant solution requiring fewer parts. Bugatti himself described his competitor [[Bentley]]'s cars as "the world's fastest lorries" for focusing on durability. According to Bugatti, "weight was the enemy".<ref>{{Cite web |last=Kew |first=Ollie |title=The worldβs first diesel Bentley is here.
