Spongeg - where is here?

I have only seen 2 of them. One was in a dealer lot. Up here in New England they don't seem to be doing well. But the same oes for the Magnum and Charger - people find them too big, too hungry, and too difficult in the winter.

Nice thread - keep coming !

The Bugatti Brand is owned by Volkswagen.
They just bought the name because they thought it sounds more glamourous than lets say a "Volkswagen Veyron"

Btw: The founder of Bugatti was italian and the factory he founded was located in Molsheim/Germany.
It was located in Alsace which after ww1 went to France.
So you could say that this car is a genuine italian/german car

Thats true but at the moment they are in very serious risk of running bankrupt.
And Toyota will very surely be the biggest car company around next year

And you guys like to forget that Germany was the first country in the world with a modern nationwide spanning highway network.
The world copied it

then we have the engines.

The OTTO engine (conventional engine which is in use in pretty much every car) is a german invention.
The Diesel engine is a german invention (developed by Rudolph Diesel)
And the Wankel engine is german aswell. (turbine engine that is still in use in some Mazda models like the RX-8


then youve got the airbag, abs etc etc you name it.
Honestly weve contributed more to the car development than any other nation.
A full mechanical version of ABS was invented in the 1920s by bosch. But they didn't pioneer its use. Argueably the USA contributed substantially to the design and use of ABS too.

Anti-lock brake systems were first employed in airplanes during the 1950s but mass production and use of ABS on mass-produced automobiles commenced in the early 1980s. ABS as we know it was more likely developed by Boeing according to most data.

Anti-skid technology had been around for many years prior to its use on the Concorde and was first used in the B-47. The unit was developed in 1947. In 1948, Hydro-Aire was licensed by Boeing to design, produce and market the Hytrol Mark I antiskid brake control system." Boeing invented the anti-skid system and then licensed it to brake vendors, ie Hydro-Aire.
