The production of the Bugatti Veyron began in Alsatian Molsheim at the end of 2005 and the first car was delivered in 2006 with the Bugatti Automobiles S.A.S. production for the year reaching the aimed 50 units. The units for this year have increased up to 60, thus considerably reducing the customer's waiting time and managing to increase the annual production. The 16.4 model is named after the French racing driver Pierre Veyron, who won the 24 hours of Le Mans in 1939 while racing for the original Bugatti company. Dr. Thomas Bscher has been the president of the company since December 2003 a dn he has recently informed the brand's enthusiasts that most of the orders came from the US, a country which appreacites the luxury car market, while the majority of demands from the othernon-US countries, were from Germany and England, thus revaling the interest of the Eastern European countries. The main interest of the company is to develop worldwide organisation bases, by now reaching no more than 26 locations for Bugatti sales and services. Embodying, both technically and technologically, all the possibilities in automobile construction, the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 stands out as an undoubted classic, following the principle that nothing is too expensive, nothing is too beautiful. The extensive use of high quality materials for its production integrates a seven-speed-sequential-DSG-double-clutch-gearbox, produced by motor sport specialists Ricardo in the UK, while the specialists from the Volkswagen engine plant in Salzgitter in Germany made the 16 cylinder-8.0-litre-engine. ATR from Italy developed the carbon fibre mono coque, while the windscreen was manufactured in Finland, thus becoming a truly international car.
