Italian car website riddle

I found this as a verification question on an Italian car forum. Maybe I'm a pinhead, but I'm at a loss. Anyone know?


What's the family name of Carlo, the grand car-manufacturer?:

 

Bugatti.

Carlo was Ettore Bugatti’s father.

 

Since Bugatti is French, I don't think that's the right answer on an Italian car website.

The answer is probably Abarth, which is an Italian car company, although Carlo (Karl) Abarth was Austrian by birth.

 

I'd have to second Bugatti. Italian forums can still admit to the existence of lesser manufacturers of the world.

 

Ettore Bugatti was born in Brescia Italy. In fact his whole family was born and raised in Italy.

 

The first Bugatti revival actually *was* an Italian car.

 

OK, so maybe not an Italian car site, but it's an Abarth forum.

But, I have tried "Bugatti", "Maserati", and even jokingly tried "Monte" and "Ferrari", but the site won't accept any of those answers.

Carlo Abarth's parents were Karl Anton Abarth and Dora Taussig. I think they just want you to type in "Abarth", so they know you're a real person.

 

Ettore Bugatti was an Italian who built cars in occupied Germany.

 

I registered with Abarth no problem

I finally got it to work. I had tried Abarth before, but I mistook another error for an incorrect answer.

Cool site though.

 

Sorry, however Molsheim was and is in France.

 

Molsheim is in Alsace, which was part of Germany until 1918 (1871-1918), and since Bugatti was established in 1909, Bugatti was actually originally a German company...

 

Finally someone who understands

Thanks for that answer

very much appreciated

 

as was Napoleone
