The Bugatti Royale Napoleon is one car type that JAY LENO doesn't have! On another note - I always liked the Avions Voisin Autos. But, my top favorite classic car is the Jaguar SS100 roadster.
Jay Leno also doesn't have any Studebakers for some reason. He could easily afford as many as he liked and they are not made of unobtainium yet, so I believe he just doesn't like them. His loss. To your point, I've always found both Voisin and Facel-Vega cars to be woefully under-appreciated.
There’s an error at the beginning; That Royale sold in 1987 for just under $10 million in 1987 money. If I recall, it’s $20 million when adjusted for inflation.
They are beautiful and beautiful to the eye and all that Art stuff which I love.. and they will out live me my family and their families.. we are so materialistic.. damn he died in 1947? and Ford Died... they set up some good reliable brands and I and many are greatful.
Allow me to explain the problem with Bugatti, the horseshoe grill is a sign of bad luck, a horseshoe should have the open end upwards so the horseshoe holds luck. Turn the horseshoe upside down and the luck falls away. Pretty apt considering what happened to Etore and his son. Mind you the postman survived, he probably had some upright horseshoes at home
So, Bugatti felt like he lived in his brothers shadow, built cars, found success, then his brother killed himself, the Germans took his factory, WWI, then he built the Royal, no one wanted it, his son dies racing cars, the Germans take his factory again, WWII, French wont give it back, he looked at his old factory and drops dead. Rather depressing.
I read that one of the things that put Rembrandt "over the edge" was when the zoo had to kill all the animals in the zoo when it was over run by the Germans during WWI. He was an animal lover (See all his sculptures) and it was to much for him.
At 8:38 the say that Bugatti designed the system to fire a machine gun through the blades of a spinning propeller on an airplane. Actually, it was designed by the French engineer Raymond Saulnier in 1915 and then improved by Anthony Fokker a Dutchman.
Multiple engineers in multiple countries worked on syncronization systems and competed with each other. Wikipedia lists more than 20 different designs. Italy was hampered by their machine guns not being suitable for synchronization and thus used foreign guns and synchronization gears. That's probably why nobody ever heard of Bugatti's system.

Seeing the Veyron racing with the several older Bugatti model looks like a child spending time with their grandparents. I love it!
🌟Great history🏁👍
Jay Leno has a few Bugattis in his collection. Great cars in their own right.
Type 57 IS BEAUTIFUL!!
Awesome.
Gotta love Italians when it comes to expensive luxurious designs
Patrick Phokoane ikr... wished they didn’t went to France lol... but everything was for the best
And the first Bugattis were built in Germany,the Alsace was german til 1918 !
Art and science love it!

probably because they cost at least 15 million these days
Beautiful cars.

After all ....what is ART without SCIENCE?

What is science without art?
I need to own & drive a Bugatti.
I need new hinge pins on my 95 town car
Come to Canada I have 2 replicate, $15,000 you can have them both!
What you really need is to sober up
They were beautiful. Then came the time when VW revived it. (Except the Chiron, that thing looks nice.)
I think the chiron will age quite quickly. The rear is horrendous.
The Veyron is timeless I don't see how you find it unattractive in anyway
Veyron will age like a fine wine, its design is perfect and timeless.
Could someone plesse tell me where I can find the title track of great cars?
Hi -- it was composed for our series.
@@KingRoseArchives thank you for replying ☺
@king Rose Archives could you please tell me the classical music track that starts playing at 8.49 minutes into the video
I'am german but think that a VW built vehicle shall not be allowed ( Second Commandment) the famous EB Badge or be named Bugatti !
Warum nicht
Bugatti und KdF-Wagen passt irgendwie nicht so richtig!
Sad story!

The grill isn't a horseshoe; it was inspired by a chair

Many Artists have difficult lives..coincidence?
And the French DID give it back, through French Courts under French Laws.
Thanks for the quick summary!
@@jameslaw3740 quick but all is false...
Ele Bugatti deu comida aos pássaros por isto que o carro dele voa
How can anyone take Mickey Mishne seriously when he can't even be bothered to attempt an approximately correct pronounciation of "Molsheim"?
I pronounce it " BOOGETTY" just see if anyone takes me seriously
What a tragic story of great man
race
Now that VAG owns Bugatti, it's the the third fucking time the German's have taken over Bugatti!
Molsheim and the Bugatti factory were part of Germany until 1918...
And also constructed his first car when working at the Deutz factory in Cologne!
At 8:38 the say that Bugatti designed the system to fire a machine gun through the blades of a spinning propeller on an airplane. Actually, it was designed by the French engineer Raymond Saulnier in 1915 and then improved by Anthony Fokker a Dutchman.
Yeah that sounds like BS. Maybe he made a different design that no one used so history books generally don't back up that claim.
Norman May
It actually said that he designed an aircraft ENGINE that let a machine gun fire through the prop!
Not that he designed a firing system!
Neil Anderson: Err. Right. That's a good idea chaps.
correct norman may
Multiple engineers in multiple countries worked on syncronization systems and competed with each other. Wikipedia lists more than 20 different designs.
Italy was hampered by their machine guns not being suitable for synchronization and thus used foreign guns and synchronization gears. That's probably why nobody ever heard of Bugatti's system.
I think that Duesenberg is way better class than the Royale. AND they made more of them.
The modern Bugatti is a chimpanzee toilette
kupio vw hahahaa

So although he knows there's a postman out there on the road, he drives full speed? Seems irresponsible to me.
Didn't listen very carefully, did you? The postman knew the car was there. Nothing indicates Bugatti knew the postman was there.
@@jamesclendon4811 Yes, that's what they want you to believe.
