Ettore Bugatti trouva un sponsor pour sa propre production en 1909.
   A Molsheim, à quelques kilomètres à l'est de Strasbourg la production des Bugatti démarra. La première série des Bugatti automobiles consista en trois modèles : Type 13, 15 et 17, où les différences consistaient en leur empattement. La Type 17 avait des ressort arrières plus résistants.
   En 1910 seulement quelques voitures furent construites, mais reçurent de bonnes critiques au salon de Paris de 1910, et furent fréquemment vues en courses.
   En 1913 les Types 15 et 17 devinrent respectivement les Types 22 et 23. Les Bugatti étaient relativement chères, mais furent quand même un succès, et quelques centaines de voitures furent construites jusqu'en 1914.
   Après la guerre, les Types 13, 22 et 23 furent améliorées et devinrent les fameuses Bugatti Brescia.
