A boutique french auto maker who to aims to steal Bug clients with its all carbon fiber/Aluminum body and 1200hp motor.
what say you Oppo? is this car the Bugattis Waterloo? or perhaps just another poseur , another !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!
*after some discussion, its to be noted that Bugatti is in fact french, although its changed hands a few times and was started initially in a at the time, German region*

Until they actually make one its vaporware, but it does look a lot better than some other "super cars" out there.

Isn't Bugatti (technically) French? Or am I missing something?

Don't forget Bugatti IS french... Just like Lambo is italian... Both belong to VW and both use more german part than anything else, but it's still french...

ettore bugatti was born in Milan - the original marque was german - it moved its mfering facilites to Bordeux, France in 1939 before WW2 and then when the nazis forced him to sell the company to them he gave it up. VW now owns it and is coincidently german

also to note - Molsheim up till 1919 was a german city - hence the marque is german - Molsheim was transfered to the French after the treaty of Versaille.

according the sources ive seen, nope..born in Milan - naturalized Frenchman - started out in Germany and then had to move to France because of the WW brewing - he had to give up the brand to the Nazis and then after WW2 when he was dead and his son was dead, then it became french when Molsheim became a french region and not German. He was born Italian and started the marque in a German region.

Ouhlaaaaa nope nope nope nope lol. Don't go to France saying stuff like that hahaha
Molsheim has always been a french city, exept when germany took it in 1871 at the end of the Prussian war and gave it back in 1918 at the end of WW1

Yes yes, Italian origins... Like people moving to america at the same period were americans, yet were still born in Italy or Ireland for exemple...
As for Molsheim and Alsace-Lorraine in general, I already answered ;)

haha, check out the franco-prussian war, you will understand a bit more what happened... This is the reason why pretty much everybody in Alsace-Lorraine region can speak some kind of a german dialect (along with french of course)

I'd say it's a French company started by an Italian, now owned and operated by Germans
