|---|---|---|---|
| Total model productionDietrich-Bugatti cars built (approximate, 'une centaine'; scope of the count not stated) | 1001 | Factory production | Registry reported |

History
Eugène de Dietrich, an Alsatian industrialist, hired Ettore Bugatti to study two touring cars (Types 3 and 4) and a racing car. About a hundred Dietrich-Bugattis were built. Bugatti then designed a racing car for the 1903 Paris-Madrid race, but the officials refused its entry because the car was so unusual.
In 1904 Bugatti and Émile Mathis left De Dietrich to build their own cars.
