RE: PH Hero: Bugatti EB110

[Mastodon2]

A car I like but do not love. Impressive engineering, but as someone said earlier in the thread, not really good enough at any one thing to really get me hooked.

Sod the interior, I'd still have one in Bugatti blue, thanks

I'd have the SS (Super Sports?) version.

Way cooler than a Veyron!

Definitely with you on that one...

Actually, a Bugatti Blue SS (tuned to 750-ish bhp) was the first supercar I ever drove. Guess it pays to be friends with the owner of a tuning shop

Yep I will take mine just like that one!

Only just shaded by the F40 as my all time favourite super car.

Look at the vents by the side of the headlights, then look at the ones on the 458 Italia.
There was a big deal about the Ferrari vents, and how forward thinking they were when the car was launched.
Sorry Ferrari, 20 years late !

Damn right, in much the same way I'd have a Bentley Conti T over a GT (were I lucky enough to have that choice!)

[big dub]

Dauer EB100SS in lacquered carbon

[Grovsie26]

hehe strange how they chose a small V12 3.5 litres, then stuck 4 turbo's on it. Would of been better off with a bigger engine and less FI.

Yet another Burago model owner here. I know it was overshadowed by the Jaguar XJ220 and McLaren F1 but I definitely lusted after this one.

once at a Driving-Fun (DF) day in the Netherlands we also had company of a Bugg EB110, the owner liked my car very much and I also liked his car but mine is easier to live with, his is more expensive ! but mine is more rare

anyway, here his car and my Hartge Z3 next to him were we had a brake.

[GTRene]

The owner of that blue EB110 wanted to see and know how my car could be so fast
and to see how that 5.0 V8 fits under the bonnet.



he's the last man in the picture ( I'm the man in the black sweater) very interested in tech and a car-nut too

Perhaps instead of "had a brake", you meant "had to brake" due to the water quickly approaching! :-p

[GTRene]

lol,

but... we also did crossed that and another river that day during our tour, not by bridge but with a carboot carier? at least 2 times, was fun too, only took a while since we were with a lot cars.

Always had a soft spot for the EB110, Veyron has never flicked my switch despite seeing a few examples.

Currently for sale and i would buy it instantly with a Euro Millions win.

A forgotten car, 4 turbos sounds mental, but I think it looks ugly, would have an xj220 instead.

[Adam B]

I must be in the minority in not liking the looks of the XJ220, the back being particularly hideous. The Bug is a far nicer design to my eyes - seen a few in the flesh, one in Puerto Banus and one at the Lambo day at Weybridge. The Weybridge one had its door open and have to agree the interior is truly awful, much like the XJ220 I guess.

But the EB110 is so cool, that carbon Dauer one with all the naff wood replaced by carbon would be in the dream garage.

Never been a fan of the XJ220, ugly as sin IMO.

[Shipper]

I love it. It's right for all the right reasons, and all the wrong reasons. From memory there was a hotted up light weight version with an extra 100hp and less some 120kg. Now that's the car to own!
