    Default Bugatti WTF???

    Lookin around at dealership (online) that apparently regularly has Veyrons. Found this in the pics of one particular model.

    Notice it says "MFD by Bugatti Automobiles S.A.S France"

    Since when were these made in France? Unless I'm misunderstanding something here. Someone plz let me know.

    Since always.

    Yes, Ettore Bugatti is Italian and the veyron has many German made pieces, but the factory for it has always been in France.
