The Petersen Automotive Museum located in Los Angeles, will be showcasing the Art of Bugatti exhibit on the 23rd of October, as they introduce their greatest creations from their most stylish designs to their highest performance vehicles. In addition, the French automobile manufacturer will not only be presenting classic to high performance cars, but also some of the Bugatti’s family’s most extraordinary furniture and pieces of art.
Showing an automotive lineup like never before, Bugatti has placed 20 exceptional cars from throughout their many years in business. The first car in the exhibition is their 1925 Type 35C Grand Prix, which is the same 129 hp model that won the Grand Prix World Championship in the following year. The lineup will also feature two examples of what many have acknowledged to be among the most rare and breathtaking cars in existence, the 1939 Type 57C Atalante. For a more modern coupe, the 1994 EB110 Super Sport Le Mans that qualified in 17th place for the cars namesake race (which did not finish), will also be displayed in the exhibition. And to symbolize Bugatti’s leading-edge inventiveness is the 1,500 hp Chiron, with a world-wide reputation as the fastest and most powerful production today.

Opening hours are from 10 am to 6 pm everyday, Art of Bugatti is planned to be on display for around a year, admission is priced at $15 for adults.
