The Bugatti EB110 GT, SS and SS Dauer: A Symbol of Innovation and Racing Heritage

The Bugatti EB110 is a true icon of the automotive world, representing the pinnacle of engineering, design, and racing heritage. Unveiled on September 1991, to commemorate Ettore Bugatti's 110th birthday, the EB110 was a groundbreaking super sports car that introduced a powerful 3.5-liter V12 engine, four turbochargers, all-wheel drive, and an innovative carbon monocoque. This blend of features set new standards in the supercar realm, making the EB110 a symbol of speed, innovation, and exclusivity. With a limited production of less than 130 units, the EB110 range included the luxurious GT model, the performance-enhanced SS variant, the even more refined SS Dauer models, and two unique racing cars – the EB110 SS Le Mans and the EB110 SC. These models showcased Bugatti's commitment to comfort, luxury, and unrivaled performance, while their foray into motorsport with the EB110 LM and SC race cars underlined the brand's racing DNA. At the time, the Bugatti EB110 GT held the title of the world's fastest car, achieving a world record in May 1992 by reaching speeds of 212.5 mph (342 kph) at the Nardò test track (Italy), with the mirrors detached. This surpassed the previous record by 10 mph, which had been set by the Lamborghini Diablo. This record would eventually be surpassed by the legendary McLaren F1 (386 kph).
