Bugatti EB110

The EB110 uses 18-inch wheels made from magnesium.

The EB110 transmits its power through a six-speed manual gearbox.

The EB110’s permanent all-wheel drive nominally splits torque 27% to the front and 73% to the rear.

The EB110’s carbon-fibre monocoque, made with Aérospatiale involvement, weighs about 125 kg; Bugatti describes the EB110 as the first road car to use such a structure.

The EB110 engine has 60 valves, five per cylinder, and revs to as much as 8,250 rpm.

The EB110 uses a 3.5-litre V12 with four turbochargers and intercoolers.

The EB110 name combines Ettore Bugatti’s initials with the number 110, referring to the anniversary of his birth.

The EB110 was unveiled in Paris on 15 September 1991, the 110th anniversary of Ettore Bugatti’s birth.

The EB110’s aerodynamics include a rear spoiler that deploys automatically as speed rises.

Bugatti built two factory EB110 race cars; one of them competed in the 1994 24 Hours of Le Mans.
