Bugatti Festival 2025: 20 Years of Veyron – Celebrating an Icon That Changed Everything
Twenty years ago, one audacious vision reshaped the automotive world. Prof. Dr. Ferdinand Karl Piëch’s dream of creating a hypercar that pushed engineering beyond all known limits gave birth to the Bugatti Veyron — a car that redefined performance, luxury, and innovation. In 2005, the Veyron shattered records, ignited imaginations, and cemented Bugatti’s place at the very top of the automotive hierarchy.
Now, two decades later, the 2025 Bugatti Festival marks a milestone: 20 years of the Veyron.
A Festival of Legends in Molsheim
Every September, the French town of Molsheim, Bugatti’s spiritual home, transforms into a living celebration of Ettore Bugatti’s genius. But in 2025, the festival holds even deeper meaning: it not only honors Ettore’s enduring legacy but also pays tribute to Piëch’s bold revival of the brand through the Veyron.
Organized by Enthousiastes Bugatti Alsace (EBA), the 2025 Bugatti Festival will culminate at Parc des Jésuites, where collectors, enthusiasts, and the public can witness the full spectrum of Bugatti’s creations. From early icons to modern marvels, the centerpiece will be a breathtaking display of multiple Bugatti Veyrons — each a symbol of unparalleled engineering mastery.
The celebration will crescendo with a parade through Molsheim, where the streets will echo with the roar of Bugatti engines, uniting history, heritage, and passion in a spectacle worthy of the occasion.
The Veyron: A Masterpiece That Redefined Limits
The Bugatti Veyron wasn’t just another supercar — it was a quantum leap. With:
- 1,001 PS of power
- A top speed of over 400 km/h
- Exquisite craftsmanship and design
…it set benchmarks the automotive world thought impossible. The Veyron embodied the fusion of Ettore Bugatti’s artistic brilliance and precision with Ferdinand Piëch’s relentless drive for innovation.
It honored Pierre Veyron, the legendary racing driver, while simultaneously reviving Bugatti as a modern powerhouse. The car’s development demanded unprecedented breakthroughs in aerodynamics, cooling, and engineering — solutions that continue to influence the hypercar landscape today.
A Symbol of French Pride
To mark this anniversary, Bugatti has revealed the official ‘20 Years of Veyron’ logo. The emblem combines the French tricolore with Pierre Veyron’s signature, celebrating both Bugatti’s deep roots in Alsace and its ongoing dedication to French artistry and innovation.
This logo is more than a mark of time — it’s a tribute to 20 years of changing the way the world views performance, design, and engineering excellence.
More Than a Festival — A Legacy
The 2025 Bugatti Festival is not just about cars. It’s about honoring legacies — Ettore Bugatti, the visionary who set the foundations; Pierre Veyron, whose racing spirit continues to inspire; and Ferdinand Piëch, whose determination to build the impossible resurrected Bugatti and transformed it into the benchmark for hypercars.
Two decades after its launch, the Veyron remains a coveted masterpiece, desired by enthusiasts and collectors across the globe. Its influence stretches far beyond Bugatti, shaping the course of the entire hypercar industry.
In Molsheim this year, the Veyron will not just be remembered — it will be celebrated as an icon that truly changed everything.
