The- Bugatti EB110 is 30 Years Old !
The EB110 was the brainchild of Italian businessman Romano Artioli, who as a 20-year-old vowed to revive Bugatti when production ceased in 1952. Artioli acquired the rights to the Bugatti name in the 1980s, and commissioned a new factory in Campogalliano, Italy.
Artioli's Bugatti Automobiles S.p.A. unveiled the EB110 in Paris on September 15, 1991, on what would have been Ettore Bugatti's 110th birthday.
The EB110 was one of the most extreme supercars of its day, boasting a quad-turbocharged 3.5-liter V-12, carbon-fiber bodywork (then a novelty for road cars), and all-wheel drive.
The V-12 made 552 hp in the standard EB110 and 592 hp in the Super Sport version. Bugatti quoted 0-62 mph in 3.2 seconds and a 218-mph top speed.
Still impressive by today's standards, those numbers were earth shattering in 1991. The EB110 was briefly the world's fastest production car!
