==Attempts at revival==
The company attempted a comeback under Roland Bugatti in the mid-1950s with the [[mid-engine design|mid-engined]] [[Bugatti Type 251|Type 251]] race car. Designed with help from [[Gioacchino Colombo]], the car failed to perform to expectations and the company's attempts at automobile production were halted.

In the 1960s, [[Virgil Exner]] designed a Bugatti as part of his "[[Exner Revival Cars|Revival Cars]]" project. A show version of this car was actually built by [[Ghia]] using the last [[Bugatti Type 101]] chassis, and was shown at the 1965 [[Turin Motor Show]]. Finance was not forthcoming, and Exner then turned his attention to a revival of [[Stutz Motor Company|Stutz]].

Bugatti continued manufacturing airplane parts and was sold to [[Hispano-Suiza]], also a former auto maker turned aircraft supplier, in 1963.<ref name="Wood"/> [[Snecma]] took over Hispano-Suiza in 1968. After acquiring [[Messier-Bugatti-Dowty|Messier]], Snecma merged Messier and Bugatti into Messier-Bugatti in 1977.
