Romano Artioli's revived Bugatti — a quad-turbo V12, all-wheel-drive, carbon-monocoque hypercar of the early 1990s.
Launched in September 1991 in Paris to mark Ettore Bugatti's 110th birthday, the EB110 was produced at the new Campogalliano factory near Modena. It used a 3.5-litre quad-turbocharged V12 mounted in a carbon-fibre monocoque, driving all four wheels via a 6-speed manual transaxle. Two variants were offered: the GT (553 bhp / 560 PS) and the lighter, more powerful SS (603 bhp).
Approximately 128 cars were built at Campogalliano — 96 GT and 32 Super Sport by Bugatti's own account — with totals of up to 139 cited when prototypes and later-assembled chassis are included. The brand was acquired by Volkswagen in 1998, which later launched the Veyron.
First production carbon-monocoque, AWD, quad-turbo V12 hypercar; a key step between the analogue supercar and the modern hypercar.
| Variant | Years | Production | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| EB110 GT | 1992–1995 | ≈96 | 560 PS; majority of production. |
| EB110 SS (Super Sport) | 1992–1995 | ≈32 | 610 PS; lighter and faster; smaller production. |
The models below represent the most significant limited and special edition variants — factory-produced cars that command meaningful premiums over standard examples and warrant specific attention from serious collectors.
Start with identity, paperwork and originality. For the Bugatti EB110, the strongest cars have continuous ownership history, matching numbers where applicable, original books and tools, factory build documentation and evidence of work by manufacturer-approved specialists. Documented Campogalliano provenance, original paint, full chassis-number and Bugatti Heritage support.
Quad-turbo V12 is specialist territory; ECU mapping, turbo condition and carbon-monocoque integrity require Bugatti-experienced shops. A proper pre-purchase inspection includes cold-start behaviour, ECU diagnostics and fault-code history (where applicable), leak-down or compression testing, underbody photography, suspension and chassis inspection, brake condition and a long enough road test to expose heat-related faults. Deferred maintenance on a car of this class is almost always more expensive than buying a better-sorted example.
Use a paint-depth gauge, lift access and a specialist familiar with the model's factory panel gaps and finish standards. Collector value is dramatically affected by structural repairs, refinished panels, poor paintwork and missing factory trim or option content. Documented cosmetic refresh is acceptable; concealed accident or fire damage must be priced severely.
Documented Campogalliano-built cars (vs later assembled chassis) and original SS cars with full Bugatti Heritage support set the ceiling. Specification, colour, options and limited-build variants move values significantly. Buy the best-documented example in the most desirable specification you can justify, rather than a tired example of a rarer derivative that will need years of corrective work.
