The new addition to the Molsheim operations will support ongoing programs, including the production of the Bolide, the most extreme Bugatti ever created, and the W16 Mistral, the ultimate Bugatti roadster, as well as future-focused development projects like the first car that will be produced under the governance of the Bugatti Rimac.
Bugatti is working on a new two-story, 2,120 square meter (22,819 square foot) facility at its Moslheim headquarters. The new building will be located next to its existing atelier, will house new teams with a view to improving their ability to collaborate, and is expected to open in the second half of 2024.
The automaker says that it is in the middle of a recruitment campaign right now, as it looks to fill roles in the quality control, planning, logistics, and production departments. In all, the automaker says it is looking to expand its workforce by more than 50 percent by the end of 2027.
“The addition of this new facility at our home in Molsheim will be timed perfectly with the expansion of the brand and product range, showcasing the strength of Bugatti as we head into an exciting future,” said Christophe Piochon, President of Bugatti Automobiles.
Bugatti is about to experience a sea change as it bids farewell to the W16 engine that has been the centerpiece of every vehicle it has built in this millennium. Now, the automaker says that it is giving up on the engine as it plans to introduce a new hybrid power unit that will power its vehicles into the future.
