BUGATTI

Bugatti logo.svgAutomobiles Ettore Bugatti was a French car manufacturer of high-performance automobiles, founded in 1909 in the then-German city of Molsheim, Alsace by the Italian-born industrial designer Ettore Bugatti. The cars were known for their design beauty and for their many race victories. Famous Bugattis include the Type 35 Grand Prix cars, the Type 41 "Royale", the Type 57 "Atlantic" and the Type 55 sports car.

The death of Ettore Bugatti in 1947 proved to be the end for the marque, and the death of his son Jean Bugatti in 1939 ensured there was not a successor to lead the factory. No more than about 8,000 cars were made. The company struggled financially, and released one last model in the 1950s, before eventually being purchased for its airplane parts business in 1963. In the 1990s, an Italian entrepreneur revived it as a builder of limited production exclusive sports cars. Today, the name is owned by the Volkswagen Group.

ALPINE

Jean Rédélé, the founder of Alpine, was originally a Dieppe garage proprietor who began to achieve success in motorsport with one of the few French cars that were produced just after the Second World War, the Renault 4CV. The company has been closely related to Renault through its history, and was bought by                                                             it in 1973. Production of Alpine models ceased in 1995.

The Alpine marque was recently relaunched, with the 2017 introduction of the new Alpine A110.

PANHARD


PanhardFounded way back in 1891, Panhard is an automobile manufacturer based in France that mainly specializes in producing military and light tactical vehicles.

During its early stages, Panhard used to be a manufacturer of civilian vehicles, some of the most popular being the Levassor Dynamic, Panhard HBR, DB LE Mans, and Panhard 24. However, after being assigned a deal, the company now specifically manufactures military vehicles, such as the Panhard 178, 75, and 60-7.
