After Ettore’s death in 1947, the Bugatti car chapter seemed to have closed. However, the Italian Romano Artioli stood up and, together with some wealthy friends, breathed new life into Bugatti. Artioli had the architect of the factory complex redesign the car, resulting in the EB110!

 

In 1992 production of Bugatti’s supercar, the EB110, started in Campogalliano, Italy. The designation was a reference to founder Ettore Bugatti (EB) and 110 stood for the number of years after his birthday that the sports coupe was presented. Initially, Bugatti launched the GT version. In the spirit of the earlier models, it was an engineering feat. The sports car with up-hinged doors was built around a carbon fiber monocoque with aluminum sheet metal, had a V12 engine with four turbochargers, was designed in-house and reached a whopping 341 km/h.

 

As if that wasn’t enough, a lighter and faster version appeared, the Super Sport. The sporty top model lost 150 kg in weight, partly due to the use of polycarbonate windows, the omission of an air conditioner (available as an option), a lightweight rear window, carbon fiber front cover and a manually adjustable rear spoiler. At the same time, the engineers increased the power by an additional fifty hp to 600 hp.

 

The intention was that 150 copies would be produced on an annual basis in the factory where a maximum of 200 units could be made per year. In the approximately two years that Bugatti Automobili existed, 139 examples reportedly left the factory gates. Exactly 106 units were designed GT, exactly 33 were called Super Sport. Two Super Sport models were also racing versions, with customers competing in the 1994 24 Hours of Le Mans in France and the 24 Hours of Sebring. Both models still exist. After the bankruptcy, the remains of Bugatti Automobil were sold in 1995, including prototypes and study models. Some unfinished cars came into the hands of the German Dauer, who finished the models. A handful of these Dauer’s EB110 have been made.
