Bugatti - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Bugatti's disdain for his customers is as legendary as his devotion to his creations; in one apocryphal incident, upon greeting an unhappy customer returning to the factory with "What, you again?", he replied to the subsequent tale of automotive mechanical woe with "Well, see that it does not happen again!" and strode away. In 1999 the Bugatti EB 218 concept was introduced at the Geneva Auto Show; later that year the Bugatti 18/3 Chiron was introduced at the IAA in Frankfurt. Bugatti is one of the most celebrated marques of automobile and one of the most exclusive French car producers of all time. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Bugatti   (1410 words)

Spy-shots: Bugatti Veyron breaks cover!
