The “Invisible Bugatti” exhibition is organized in collaboration with Bugatti Brussels.
One of the cars given to us by the “factory” is the one and only “La Voiture Noire” concept car! It is attributed to Jean Bugatti’s personal car, a black Atlantic 57 SC, which disappeared without notice shortly before World War II.
Its new name was sold in 2022 for 16 million euros to a mysterious owner whose rumors are still spreading …
Speaking of modern hypercars: the famous Veyron and Chiron, but also the EB110 that heralded the revival of Bugatti in the 1990s, all of them are Concept Cars from Centodieci, of which only ten were produced, and from Divo, of which 40 were. built, we were also loaned by Bugatti.
Who says Bugatti, says sports history!
Four racing cars from the fine Swiss collection will be on display for the first time. But shhh, we won’t reveal more about the identity of the models for a while… Last but not least, this unusual series has a number of cars associated with some of the biggest names in the world. For example, the Type 40 CoupĂ©, the personal car of Jean Bugatti, or the Type 57 SC Special CoupĂ©, the personal car of Ettore Bugatti (himself) in the years before the Second World War.
Did you know…?
One of the previous kings of Belgium, King Leopold III, was a fan of Bugatti? One of his original cars is also part of the exhibition! He also wanted to pass on his passion for Bugatti to his sons at a young age, by putting them behind the wheel of a “Baby Bugatti”. Around 500 of the “car” were produced between 1927 and 1936. The 2nd edition of the “Baby Bugatti” was created in 2019 for the brand’s 110th anniversary. In short, these exhibits are synonymous with beauty, but also with a rich past that began with family history and love for cars that are not only luxurious, but also high in performance.
