1994 Bugatti EB110

Sold for $2,755,000 at 2021 RM Sothebys : Monterey.
This Bugatti EB110 Super Sport is one of approximately 30 originally produced. It is finished in Grigio Chiaro over Nero Inchios interior and currently has fewer than 10,000 km (6,215 miles) on its odometer. While the engine powering the EB110 GT delivered 53 horsepower, the Super Sport version delivered 603 hp, thanks to a new ECU, larger injectors, and a less restrictive exhaust system. Weight was reduced by over 330 pounds due to some aluminum panels being replaced with carbon Kevlar panels bonded to the chassis and fitting magnesium BBS wheels. Zero-to-sixty mph took a mere 3.2 seconds and had a stated top speed of 221 mph.

The EB110 cost in excess of $350,000, which was a significant amount considering the declining global economic conditions. Just 139 examples of the EB 110 were built before the company entered receivership in 1995.

This example completed factory testing on April 29th, 1994, after which it was delivered to a collector in France. It would later travel to Switzerland, where it would remain until it was purchased by the current caretaker and imported to the United States. At this time, it had 9,500 kilometers (5,905 miles).

In 2018, Bugatti of Geneva, Switzerland, performed service work on the car with invoices totaling over 35,000 Swiss Francs ($38,000 USD). After its arrival in the United States, the car received additional work performed by Miller Motorcars of Greenwich, Connecticut for nearly $27,000. The work included the installation of new brakes, Pirelli Rosso tires, differential service, as well as other tasks.

This chassis was displayed by Bugatti at the unveiling of the Centodieci at the 2019 edition of The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering, as well as on the lawn at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance.
