Bugatti Unveils New Atelier In Molsheim Ahead Of Tourbillon Production
Bugatti doesn't just build cars - it builds temples to speed, craftsmanship, and engineering theater. And now, nestled in the historic grounds of Château Saint Jean, the French marque has unveiled its latest monument: a new, world-class production facility designed to usher in the age of the isn't just an upgrade. It's a statement. The new atelier blends contemporary architecture with Bugatti's natural surroundings in Molsheim, Alsace, where the brand has operated for over a century. Stretching 132 meters in length and cloaked in wild grass that crawls over 30% of its sloping roof, the building seems to rise gently from the landscape, mirroring the restraint and purpose behind Bugatti's latest hypercars - especially the newly revealed Bugatti Tourbillon. The workshop's sleek exterior - darkened walls paired with glowing glass panels - hides an interior designed with equal precision. Expansive eastern windows draw in the morning sun, while ceiling skylights flood the hall with daylight throughout the day. The result is more than just a pleasant workplace. It's an environment that inspires the roughly 50 craftspeople who will assemble some of the most complex machines on Earth. Inside, the new atelier doubles Bugatti's previous production capacity. The company has brought more of the manufacturing process in-house, streamlining everything from sub-component construction to final body-chassis integration. It's the most advanced setup in the company's 116-year history - and that history is front of mind as Bugatti transitions from the final, celebratory Chiron to the future-forward Tourbillon. While the new facility focuses on engineering excellence, the former Macaron-shaped atelier has found a new calling: guest experience. The old building will become a showcase of Bugatti's legacy, offering visitors a glimpse into cabin assembly and design detail - a uniquely Bugatti blend of luxury hospitality and hypercar a fitting tribute to a space that helped birth record-breakers like the Chiron Super Sport and Mistral, the latter of which recently reclaimed the title of world's fastest convertible. "We are currently steering the biggest Bentley design revolution in our history," says Frederic Daul, Director of Operations at Bugatti - although to be fair, this is more than just a revolution. It's a redefinition. With the Tourbillon's mix of 1,000-hp V16 combustion and 800-hp electric assistance, and with production set to begin later this year, Bugatti is building both the car and the facility worthy of its next brick and pane of glass in this atelier is part of that story. A new chapter in Molsheim is being written - one where timeless craftsmanship and cutting-edge tech collide under one beautifully sloped roof. Copyright 2025 The Arena Group, Inc.

The case is pending in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York and is captioned Deslande v. Fortrea Holdings Inc., et al. , No. 1:25-cv-04630. Why was Fortrea Sued for Securities Fraud? Fortrea is a global contract research organization that provides biopharmaceutical product and medical device development solutions. In June 2023, Fortrea was spun off into a standalone, publicly traded company by Labcorp Holdings Inc. ('Labcorp'). In connection with the spin-off, Fortrea entered into several transition services agreements (the 'TSAs'), pursuant to which it agreed to pay Labcorp for certain transitional services over a set period. As alleged, Fortrea discussed the significant cost savings and margin improvements that would result from exiting the TSAs. In truth, Fortrea overstated the cost savings and margin improvement it would achieve by exiting the TSAs, as well as the amount of revenue it would generate from pre-spin projects. The Stock Declines as the Truth is Revealed On September 25, 2024, investment bank Jefferies published a report stating that the cost savings Fortrea would achieve from exiting the TSAs were '[n]ot as [m]aterial as [o]ne [m]ight [t]hink.'

Then, on March 3, 2025, Fortrea announced disappointing Q4 and full year 2024 financial results, revealing that the company's pre-spin projects 'have less revenue and less profitability than expected for 2025' and that 'post-spin work is not coming on fast enough to offset the pre-spin contract economics.' On this news, the price of Fortrea stock declined $3.47 per share, or over 25%, from a closing price of $13.85 per share on February 28, 2025, to $10.38 per share on March 3, 2025, the next trading day.
