Bugatti was not only a visionary but also a tenacious engineer who never shied away from a challenge. He moved to Alsace at the age of 29, where he founded his own company to manufacture automobiles, ultimately becoming the Bugatti marque. He patented over nine hundred designs, which ranged from cars to airplanes, boats to trains. His designs were a mixture of the highly innovative and the stubbornly conservative, and he was able to conjure up creative solutions effortlessly.
