Z 24004 stands in the Cité du Train in Mulhouse on 30 May 2019. This fast railcar was designed and build by Bugatti, to whom the SNCF commissioned the request to design a fast and comfortable train to beat off the speedily growing competition by car and bus -and to keep the aeroplane at bay for the better-to-do travellers. This Bugatti was a reasonable succes, but more was needed to up the game for the Franch railways. After the effects of the Second World War on rail travel were overcome, SNCF decided to stuck with more conventional railway technology.
