Thomas Bscher

Dr. Thomas Bscher (born 2 April 1952) is a German banker, businessman and former racing driver. Bscher was President of Bugatti Automobiles from 2003 to 2007, tasked with growing the company's customer base.

Bscher was considered instrumental in persuading (along with Ray Bellm) then-McLaren boss Ron Dennis to enter its F1 into a GT racing programme. Bscher also gained notoriety for making a claim that he commuted to work in his McLaren F1 at speeds in excess of 200 miles per hour (320 km/h) on the autobahn, which was verified by McLaren after analysis of his car's ECU.
