We take a tour of France’s National Automotive Museum's Schlumpf Collection.
Bugatti has a small collection of heritage vehicles at its chateau, alongside its atelier in Molsheim, France. It brings them out for client events, car shows, and—on occasion—to allow journalists like us to drive them. But if you really want to dig into the metaphorical crates of the company's history, you need to drive an hour or so north of HQ to the Schlumpf Collection, also known as the Musée National de l'Automobile.
This was Ettore’s first straight-eight, an engine design that would become a corporate signature. It wore an early iteration of the now-famed Bugatti horseshoe grille. It also introduced Bugatti's inverted quarter-elliptical rear suspension, rear-mounted transaxle, and steering wheel-mounted dials for adjusting the carburetor's fuel/air mixture.
