The 90s was a cool era for random sportscars. I remember seeing the British sportscar championship with replica Porsche 935 K3, Lister Storm, Lotus Esprit, Marcos LM600, Mclarens, a De Tomasso Pantera and a few saloons like Escort Cosworths. Great era for racing and odd cars. It was also the end of the Thundersaloon cars - 6litre Vauxhall Carlton, 200mph Vauxhall Calibra and a full on prototype Honda Prelude with 500hp.
Something that might be a cool video idea and that a lot of people don’t know is that after Bugatti was liquidated in the 90’s there was 21 or so remaining EB110 chassis remaining, so a few ex-employees got together and turned the chassis’s into a car the B-Engineering Edonis, which is by far the coolest “Bugatti” of all time in my honest opinion 😊
@@traviswalker8933 just cause some think it's ugly doesn't mean it isn't awesome, people said the same about the Gumpert Apollo and that car was incredible
I have a Shell model of the EB110 from the 90s - I always thought the headlights looked weird in comparison to the likes of the F40 or Diablo or XJ220 that I also had - at least it went on to be revived as a brand by VW Group...
You should do a video about Tommykaira ZZ series of cars, for those who remember them from Grand turismo. If there is anything interesting to share about it atleast
I started researching the ZZII a while ago and didn't find enough for a full video, but I've been considering a video on the entire brand instead. I need to do some more reading but stay tuned!
Yes! I do remember the Tommykarira double Z series from Gran Turismo 2! For my money, the ZZ two, or three are about the best looking cars designed and built (that I got and raced-way back when on my PlayStation 1, I think. Thank you for reminding me about those car's in the video game. C/O RDRT.
I believe there was also Ferrari making an effort to basically kill at it's birth the rise of such a competitor by telling to all their shared suppliers to cut ties with Bugatti off they want Ferrari to still buy from them. Not sure how much of it is true, but wouldn't be surprised.
Good ! IT IS ONE OF THE UGHLIST cars' EVER cars' EVER DESIGNED. I AM Personnelly GLAD That BANKRUPTED bugatti !!!!! C/O Roger Dean Ruuska aka Tootkaylok from Alaska.
Together with Ferrari F40, the Esonis and another one I'm not remembering at the moment, if this car could talk it(she?) could say to have been designed single-handedly by just one person, by the name of Nicola Matarazzi, recently passed away. He blamed Artioli personally for the failure of the brand, aside a fixation with the never sold EB112 I still don't precisely know why. One of his tester, Loris Bicocchi, still to this day gets to tears when this car is mentioned. Personally, I like more the old angular edges design.
The Edonis was the ugliest car of the early 2000s. As far as the failure of the Bugatti brand goes, they launched this car in the middle of a recession where there was no significant demand for high performance sports cars. Even McLaren sold 66 F1 road cars as compared to their estimated production run of 350 cars.
While I love the Veyron quite a lot, this is undoubtedly my favourite Bugatti! It just looks insane! And with the ideal blend of analogue performance with a bit of luxury and electronics, it's also a damn cool supercar by itself. On one hand, I wish this was more popular, but on the other hand I'm glad that it's not popular, because that means only those who really know their cars know what this is.
"W16 powered monsters that will do 250 mph without flinching, and get you there in uncompromised comfort." That are so expensive that only Arab oil sheiks can afford them, who drive them once, then park them in a warehouse with their other toys, to collect dust and have their pistons rust solid to their cylinders.
3.5 litre V12 was optimised to meet American emission regulations. Adding 4 turbos swamped the sound making it sound like a quad cam Fiat. The car was technically competent but charismatic it wasn't.
5:10 The title says Bugatti went bankrupt AFTER making this car. Not that the EB-110 was responsible. (though the convoluted development detailed throughout the video didn't help the company's profitability)
the engines in the newer bugatti are not W16 they are split and of angle V16's, A W16 would have 4 pistons on one connector of the Crankshaft. the bugatti's have 2 per connector but the following 2 are offset. but not actually a W engine.
I agree that W16 isn't the most accurate description, it is the one that VW themselves use to describe the engine. It is also more accurate than V16, owing to the fact that V16 would indicate (and is used to describe in other settings) an engine comprised of 2 banks of 8 inline cylinders, as opposed to the 2 banks of 8 stacked cylinders in VW's "W16"
The veyron has two "W8" engines from the Passat stuck together and turbocharged, which in turn are Volkswagen VR layout engines put into V configuration. I think they did had a couple of concepts before the Veyron using a 6.3L W18 engine which was a true W layout engine with 3 banks of 6 cylinders but the engine was too heavy and had less power.
I ever play forza horizon 1. That car was in barn find. At first i really didn't know what name was that. Then after found it, it was buggatti eb110. It looks so good and very fast in fh1. If McLaren f1 didn't exist, buggatti eb110 and jaguar xj220 could be the fastest supercar in 1990s. Back then, what buggatti I know was buggatti veyron, but that thing also exist too
The latest ones? Probably because those are heavy af and all-round performance (speed on curves) isn't all that. Or, they don't wanna end in that money-pit that is research, racing against well seasoned and established racecars manufactures like Porsche/BMW/Audi/Corvette/Mercedes/Ferrari has a price. Or the cars suffer from reliability issues on long performance tests, 4hrs, 6hrs, 24hrs. Or, manufacturers race for visibility and publicity stunts. And Bugatti has it's own status as luxury brand and they simply are not interested. Just speculating...
"Bugatti left the Volkswagen Group in November 2021, when the company became part of Bugatti Rimac, a joint venture between Rimac Automobili and Porsche AG." Step one of correcting someone is making sure they're wrong. Step two is making sure you're right.
I remember when this was done, it was all Italian, built, designed, engineered in Italy, a True Bughatti and today the French say B is French ,lol. Viva ItL, the nes era Bughatti look shit.
@@tjay84 Still Italian, DNA is Italian, there were no French engineers bro. Always Italian, the EB110 Was designed engineered built in Italy, but then then new owner from Italy went bankrupt, hence VW.
@@Happy-wb8gi You need to read up on your car history mate 😁 You do know Bugatti has a long history before the EB110 right? 1909-1963 Automobiles Ettore Bugatti.

Based in Molsheim France And why do you think Bugattis are typically blue? That was the racing colour of France! 😀
@@tjay84 Always Italian, sorry dude, DNA is Italianoooooo, regardless were he started the company. If your talking about history, you forgot to mention how thd French government Stabbed him in the back during the 2ww. Because he was Italian and proud to have an Italian passport, they thought he was working with the Germans. He had to go back to Italy, did you know that, or you just happened to forget it! His company was going bankrupt due to the war and his FRENCH Employees going on strike for wanting more money. Funny how people, French people or Italian haters forget this part! You know he even engineered and designed tge first ever superfast train in Fesnce as to make money, which the government funded him to do. They did not pay or go to a French company!

That's fair. I will say that the Chiron looks better, but theres something special about that Centodieci. That being said I also really like the new Countach so maybe I'm just a sucker for re-hashed decades old design language lol
you now EB was Italian? Also, in ww2 the French government stabbed Ettore in the back, because he was Italian and they thought he was helping the Germans. Bughatti is Italian, the engineering is cll Ettore, not a French man. Read about the history of Ettore and what tge French government did. His passport wax Italian, he left Italy because of her competition and in France there was NO COMPETITION. You maybe French, hence why you do everything to belithat EB has French heritage, but it does not, its all Italian DNA.
The 90s was a cool era for random sportscars.

I used to love driving the Lister Storm on Gran Turismo 2. It was hard to tame but very rewarding to master.
You’re forgetting the lotus Carlton as well

That thing is ugly as sin. Only a handful of them were built. Not all of the chassis were converted to Edonis.
@@traviswalker8933 just cause some think it's ugly doesn't mean it isn't awesome, people said the same about the Gumpert Apollo and that car was incredible
@@Clit_Yeastwood the Gumpert was by no means as ugly as that thing. The sales also speak for themselves why the Edonis never took off.
I don’t understand how your channel is not having hundreds of thousand of subs. It’s great to watch with great researched information.
like bugatti spending too much money compared to money coming in
his channel has not enough YT promotion, caused by YT not rating his content
Your channel is great. Hope it gets picked up by the algorithm soon. Quality shit
Thanks! Glad you're enjoying the videos!
Unpopular opinion eb110 is the coolest bugatti ever built
It is cool, but damn that thing is fugly
In the words of my favorite chemistry teacher; "you're goddamn right."
I loved this thing when i first saw it in a top trumps super cars pack from the early 90s

problem with lotus UK was the staff and management.....not just management.
They where quite competitive in the 1920s and 30s in grand prix and le mans.

There was one concept for the EB110 called the ID90 that should have been the production car. It looks way better than the Rynsan Cyan concept
I like how you switched up the background music to Mario Kart 64 this time :)
Good ! IT IS ONE OF THE UGHLIST cars' EVER cars' EVER DESIGNED. I AM Personnelly GLAD That BANKRUPTED bugatti !!!!! C/O Roger Dean Ruuska aka Tootkaylok from Alaska.
you need to talk about the Edonis by B engineering.
Looks rather dull if it was British it would be called Greg or Roger. I love that blue colour. Great videos. Keep up the good work.
The Bugatti Roger might be the greatest car name i've ever heard
Was not expecting to see an EB110 doing laps around Oulton Park!

So which 112 is real the wine red one or the black one? Because there's two...unless it was completely refinished
Thanks, Lotus.
I loved this car when i found out about it in primary school was right next to the f40 in loves
born italian, sold to german , and made in france. european supercars

3.5 litre V12 was optimised to meet American emission regulations. Adding 4 turbos swamped the sound making it sound like a quad cam Fiat. The car was technically competent but charismatic it wasn't.
Didn't explained it why the car made them bankrupt ?

It's Bugatti
Gud vid 👌
Love the channel. Would love it so much better with some engine audio porn included
Why does Bugatti make cars that get between 600-1000 horsepower without being raced?
The latest ones? Probably because those are heavy af and all-round performance (speed on curves) isn't all that.
Or, they don't wanna end in that money-pit that is research, racing against well seasoned and established racecars manufactures like Porsche/BMW/Audi/Corvette/Mercedes/Ferrari has a price.
Or the cars suffer from reliability issues on long performance tests, 4hrs, 6hrs, 24hrs.
