The inspiration for the Bugatti grille actually came from eggs?

From the day the car was born, various grilles have become representative features of various car brands, such as BMW’s kidney shape, Lexus’s spindle shape and Audi’s big mouth shape. These are all unique places that make it easy for people to identify and remember. Bugatti also used a horseshoe-shaped grid to show his charm, but the feeling did not come from the horseshoe-shaped.

Before learning about Bugatti’s vehicle design, we might as well first learn about Bugatti’s founder “Ettorie Bugatti”. He was born into a family of arts and crafts. His grandfather was a successful sculpture artist and architect. His father was a very influential Art Nouveau furniture, jewelry, and music designer.

There is also his brother, who has been influenced by art with him since childhood, who is also an outstanding animal sculptor. The famous “dancing elephant” that everyone saw on Bugatti’s car is his masterpiece.

Many people think that the shape of Bugatti’s grille was inspired by horseshoes, because “Ettorie Bugatti” liked to raise horses and ride horses since he was a child, but this is not the source of inspiration. In fact, Ettore’s father, Carlo, often used some ovals or curves in furniture design. The shape of the eggs just conforms to Carlo’s liking. Ettore was influenced by his father and applied the spirit that eggs brought to his father to steam manufacturing. This is true for the Bugatti grilles we saw.

In fact, whether it is Veyron, Chiron or Divo, the egg-shaped grille has become one of Bugatti’s iconic designs. You can easily recognize them as Bugatti at a glance. This is a successful design.
