Description
The Bugatti EB110 was a high-performance sports car produced from 1991 to 1995 by the Italian company Bugatti Automobili S.p.A. The car was named after Ettore Bugatti, the founder of Bugatti. It was the company’s first production car in over 30 years and was built to celebrate the 110th birthday of Ettore Bugatti.
The EB110 was designed by Italian architect and designer Giampaolo Benedini, who had previously worked for Lamborghini. The car featured a mid-mounted 3.5-liter quad-turbocharged V12 engine that produced 553 horsepower and 450 lb-ft of torque. It had a top speed of 213 mph and could accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.3 seconds.
The car’s chassis was made of carbon fiber and aluminum, which made it extremely light and rigid. The suspension was also state-of-the-art, featuring double wishbones and adjustable dampers. The EB110 was one of the first cars to feature active aerodynamics, which included a retractable rear wing that would deploy at high speeds.
Only 139 Bugatti EB110s were produced during its four-year production run, making it a rare and sought-after collectible car. In 1995, the company went bankrupt due to financial difficulties, and the production of the EB110 ceased. The company was later revived by Volkswagen Group in 1998, and the Bugatti brand was relaunched with the Veyron, which was inspired by the EB110. Today, the Bugatti EB110 is considered a classic sports car and is highly prized by collectors.
