The film about Bugatti, which is scheduled to premiere sometime after 2025, will be the next biographical tale about an iconic car manufacturer from the same team behind Ford v. Ferrari. So with producer Andrea Iervolino.
The upcoming film will focus on Ettore Bugatti, the founder and first director of the brand that still bears his name today. In the style of the previous productions about Lamborghini and Ferrari, the film will depict the life of Bugatti and his influence on the world of cars.

The plot will be based on Bugatti's early years and the founding of the Bugatti brand in 1909. The film will also touch on the challenges the company faced, especially after the death of son Jean Bugatti in 1939, which had major consequences for the company.
