Where was the first Bugatti made?
I love supercars of all kinds. While I’m fairly knowledgeable about the likes of Lamborghini, Porsche, and Ferrari, I’m trying to learn more about Bugatti. When and where were the first Bugatti vehicles made?

The first Bugatti was made in Molsheim, Alsace, France, in 1909—although this factoid has a bit of debate surrounding it.
Technically speaking, founder Ettore Bugatti produced the 1901 Type 2 with two brothers from France while living in Milan, Italy. But eventually, he sold the rights to a Dutch manufacturer. He also designed the Type 5 in 1905 for the same Dutch company.
In 1909, with the backing of an investor, Ettore Bugatti purchased an abandoned Molsheim dyeworks factory to begin building his own brand. Fitted with a 1.3-liter four-cylinder engine, the Bugatti Type 10 was officially the first car to be produced in Molsheim—where Bugattis are made to this day.
Although you may never own a Bugatti—prices start at seven figures and vintage models fetch up to $114 million—slashing your
