The badge on the car is Bugatti, but Bugatti is owned by VW.
Regardless of where which parts of the car is made, the money and the idea to make it came from VW.

Bugatti Automobiles S.A.S. is an automobile manufacturer located in Molsheim, Alsace, France. It is owned by the German automobile manufacturing group Volkswagen Group as a subsidiary of Volkswagen France. It was founded in 2000 as a successor to the Bugatti Automobili SpA.

Volkswagen Group chairman Ferdinand Piëch announced the Veyron at the 2000 Geneva Motor Show. It was promised to be the fastest, most powerful and most expensive car in history. Instead of the W18, it would use a VR6/WR8-style W16 engine.

This is from Bugatti's own website:

The development of the Veyron 16.4*) is one of the key milestones of 21st-century automotive engineering. Volkswagen CEO Ferdinand Piëch made high demands: the designers were to revive the heritage of Ettore Bugatti with this new super sports car.

If Bugattis are VW , then Lamborghinis and Gumperts are Audis, Minis are BMWs, Alpines are Renaults and so on

Knowing her (the way I pretend to), she would drive a French brand. Maybe one of them makes something similar for the JBG?

That's the first thing that came to mind when I saw that picture! And I'm sure one of them would happily design and build her one if she asked, hehe.

But only VW has a habit of naming their cars after the "wind."
