- Buongiorno! :D
Next on our list of supercar stories, we turn to the most obscure of the pack, the Bugatti EB110, a brief revival of the legendary motoring marque which was placed onto one of the most technologically advanced machines ever to hit the tarmac, but one whose story was prematurely ended due to factors far beyond its control.

Jeremy Clarkson once quoted after driving The Bugatti Veyron was along the lines of " I'll now have to live the rest of my life knowing i'll never be able to own that car."
Don't like that fella at all, thick as mud, all mouth and no brain, Boris Johnson's friend. Horrible people.
So basically just more Clarkson drivel! 😆
@Israel Goldberg Or five Veyron Super sports versions which have 200hp more than the standard Veyron.
@@Monkey80llx He was always rich, but not always rich enough to buy a Bugatti. And he had money troubles at some point IIRC.
I was at Le Mans in 1994 when an EB 110 spun spectacularly. The crowd wasn't impressed!
I love those late 80's early 90's supercars.
The IHI turbos used were the smaller, quicker spooling versions used on various small capacity Japanese Kei cars
You can see the blue Campogalliano plant from the A22 highway, the Bugatti logo has faded but the outline is still visible.
Recently the site has changed hands and is slated to become some sort of museum.
When are they going to fix Lancia mate? Shadow of a shadow of it's former self.
@@AdamAus85 yeah, I know. The recent Pu+Ra HPE concept gives me hope but we'll have to see which models actually come out in the next few years
@@JK061996 Just googled that. Yeah that thing looks like it could be a good car. It's a shame no one wants 4 door sedans anymore. Guess I'll stick with my 156 sportwagon and 166 facelift busso v6 3.0.
Very interesting! I visited Lotus in -94 as a student and they had a 110 mule which we could examine as much as we wanted.
The De Tomaso Pantera was not designed by Gandini, he just did the 1991 facelift. The original design was by Tom Tjaarda.
Good morning. Thank you for yet another informative video. One minor correction though. The DeTomaso Pantera was designed by Tom Tjaarda. Mr. Gandini was responsible for the car's very last facelift, before the end of its production, that being the Pantera Si.

The 1999 Bugatti Chiron looks better than the current model, I'm not a fan of the blade intake even though it's a necessity. The EB 118 saloon would have been one incredible luxury car.
Surely excess power to the front wheels would cause understeer rather than oversteer? I'm no expert, but that doesn't seem right. Great video though, really enjoyed learning more about this awesome car.
Easy to make a neutral handling car these days, using simple electronic sensors. Think Segways. 👍
I caughtb that too. must be a mistake. Only matters to nerds like us though lol.
5 valve engine tech was not F1 only but was available to the sweaty masses in the form of the yamaha genisis motorcycle engines from the mid eighties.
And Audi 1.8L of 1995
It took me a week to get through your first name, but now I'm finally ready to sit back and watch the video.
I love Gandini's prototype. To me it is the definitive version of the EB110.
I don't know where you got the info that the EB110 had 4 sequential turbos with two smaller and two larger. In fact, if you look at photos of the exhaust manifolds, you'll see each turbo is spooled by 3 cylindres, which meant they were engaged at all times. The current Chiron has sequential turbos but not the EB110. Also, the EB110 Supersport hit 60 mph in 3.4 seconds, not 4.4.
We really appreciate all of the information that you imparted to us with this video!
I always enjoy your videos, thank you Ruairidh!
Great video. Love the compiled footage and narration.. Very well researched and presented! This looks like it will be my new favorite UA-cam channel! You cover all the topics that interest me: planes, trains, and automobiles!
Been subscribed for ages and I still don't know how to pronounce Ruairdh.
This and the 220 video are so well made and informative I really appreciate the footage and barely known models thanks again
Your videos are really good man. Just something about how he talks, the audio quality & photos/videos, feels like something of a documentary of the late 90's early 2000's. Not overly done, not overly boring, but just a perfect information video.
The work you put into these videos is awesome. The research, editing, validation, and everything else we don't see is impressive..
But you do sound rather robotic, and I don't think your passion comes across. The rather mono-tone narration and abrupt ending leaves me cold. It would be great if you could you put a bit more of yourself into it.
The guy just talks in a neutral voice - he's a historian. He's talked about thousands of possibly contraversial subjects and knows how to keep a tone. I've heard robotic voices (one being that of Jason Camissa's assistant who often voices their videos) - and trust me, this isn't it.
Among several other's such as the Jaguar 220 i bought a die cast metal 1/24 model of the 110 back in 91, it is still in my loft untouched in its box with the others.
They didn't have sequential turbos as described in this. There was 4 identical turbos and the layout was the equivalent of 2x inline 6 twin turbos, each turbo running off 3 inline cyls. Totally conventional.
Yamaha also used 5 valve heads on their large capacity motorcycles at the time.
Brilliant.
Michael Schumacher was one of the most famous owner's of the car, buying one in 1994
Amazing, amazing video - thanks a lot. A respected historian taking the time to research an automotive brand - just lifts the idea that cars are worthy (maybe the pink-glassed panda/polar bear/whale lovers with their meeeh! ban the engines! - should be terminated or at least postponed). Also - didn't know of the Etore's tragic and unfair faith - respect to the man. Also - in case this channel ever comes short of content (little likely) - the Italian Pagani and the Swedish Königsegg could be the next ones on the list. Thanks again - greetings from Latvia.
B. Engineering bought the excess available chassis after Bugatti went bankrupt & wanted to make a supercar out of it. They went bankrupt as well, but again another company bought them out & at the end, they made 15 cars called the Edonis SP-110 sometime around 2018...
Don't forget to hit that 'thumbs-up' button.
Bugatti still makes brilliant sports cars today. I’ve only seen some of them around.
I like the EB 110 more than the F40... all of this done hefore computer design... i got to sit in one, at Dragone Motors in Westport Ct.... it was a highlight to surround myself in BUGATTI. I knew the car wouldn't be there long. Its Belgian owner had loaned the car the dealership. That was in 2010
You should try ur hand at documenting the history of certain lorries. Would be perfect for ur format and i myself struggle to find solid information for even the modern classics.
It looks like a cross between an XJ220 and a Nissan 300ZX
Should’ve kept the first design. I don’t like the exposed headlights so close together. Makes the car look cross eyed. 😂
Man kann heute noch EB 110 bestellen, die bei Dauer auf 0 Stunden gebracht wurden. Sie stammen aus Artiolis Konkursmasse.

The video refuses to load.

I always found the marketing and launch of the EB110 a touch confusing. Ettore Bugatti was from Milan and built his cars in Alsace, a German speaking region of France. The EB110 was designed and built in Modena, Italy albeit with French contributors from the likes of Aerospatiale and Michelin. Yet they chose to launch it in French Racing Blue, they used the tricoleur a lot in the marketing and as you show, the launch was in Paris. I wonder how the French thought about all of this - an Italian car masquerading as a French car. Compared to VW era Bugatti, now Franco German and built in Alsace they don't seem to dewll too much on the cars national origin with their marketing apart from the use of French Racing Blue on special editions. Alsace is befitting of the brands current ownership but with the EB110, the overtly French push seemed at odds when marketing what was essentially an Italian car with arguably an Italian badge... No wonder it failed. Glorious car though
The Veyron only impresses me in one respect... A car that weighs over 100 kg more than my Jeep Grand Cherokee, that can accelerate that fast, and they still went ahead and developed it! Not exactly add lightness!
Those headlights look terrible, The rear isnt exactly exciting to look at either. Its what happens when you have a dozen designers messing things up.
Not to mention the shoddy assembly quality.
😃
I’ve never thought of the modern Bugatti’s as beautiful designs, more, they look heavy and rather underwhelming… not helped by the need to have the Bugatti grill included in the design… a grill that could never be included with an aerodynamic shape that would look good.
Obviously, I’ll never have the means to buy one… not that I would even if I had the funds…
It’s an overgrown VW 😗
Those modern Bugattis ARE incredibly heavy and not the best on a track either. They are an impressive engineering achievement (being able to hit such staggering top speeds and also accelerate quicker than any other car while still being very docile and usable no matter the road, the temperature, the weather etc) but what is the actual point of having cars that can do 260mph to getting close to 300mph? Even on the Autobahn from what I've seen the opportunities of hitting 200mph are rare. The first Bugatti hit 253mph, more than enough to take the fastest car in the world tag from McLarens F1 (241mph) and since then they've only got faster and faster? There was a massive difference between the Veyron and F1, the F1 'made do' with a 6ltr V12. The Veyron needed 8ltrs, 16 cylinders and 4 turbos! And that's a big part of the reason why it looks and actually is a big fat ugly blob of a car, it weighs nigh on 2000kg! The F1 was a flyweight and nearly half it's weight. The F1s crazy high top speed wasn't the entire engineering focus of the car. It was designed to be lightweight, agile and powerful and just had that 240mph more as a side effect. The Bugatti was engineered to be the fastest car ever made then all else was designed around that, hence why its so hideously fugly! And still Bugatti keep upping that totally pointless top speed (they've actually broken 300 and it's now 304mph!) Who are they even competing against? Who wants a car that can only be fully opened up on the salt flats?
@@davekennedy6315 Ettore is said to have described the Bentleys that his cars raced against as the world's fastest trucks, I wonder how he would describe a modern Bugatti.
In competition for top speed with Koeniggseg , who seem to be more adventurous with their engineering. The cars are lighter as well.
@@paulqueripel3493 poor guy must be spinning in his grave as it has gone completely against his design philosophy.
The post Second World War disgraceful treatment of Ettore Bugatti might go some way to indicate why Britain had a war against the French for a period of 100 years. To be as polite as possible, the term ungrateful scumbags springs to mind.
You mean like the British character traits at play in the treatment of Alan Turing after WWII?
The frontal aspect of the Veyron always brings to mind the classic “overreacting horrified chubby boi” meme. The EB110 was, er, distinctive but its technological prowess is undeniable. A couple of supercar posters made it onto my petrolhead teenage bedroom walls but the EB110 was not among them. Saw one out in the wild once; they look even worse than in photos/on film but they do sound good.
If it wasn't for the veyron that came after the EB110 think Bugatti woukd would of struggled, not to the point they'd go under again maybe need a point in the right direction.
call me crazy or whatewer i still preffer the looks of eb 110 and lamborgini coutach and diablo to the actual models
I think they should have stuck with Ital Design. The production car looks to me like it was designed by Reliant.
I think the production car looks awesome
The eb112 is just the original Porsche panamera that design language is strong
Bar - Ket - a Mar - Che - lo basic italian mate
Isn't that typical Ferrari...............As long as it's going there way, they are happy. If not, they stomp and throw a temper tantrum to under cut their competition.
Because of this very corporate and personal attitude.................I wouldn't buy, drive or own a Ferrari even if they paid me to.
testing top speed on this would probably make it blow up
Hey.... I’m 18 and new to history or newly found the love of history. I asked my grandfather about this but he gave me an explanation I don’t think I can repeat....
Why do people throughout history give Jews a hard time? And do they deserve it????
Think it might be the tight wallets. Come across one that gives to charity, you will find he isn't one.
@@huwzebediahthomas9193 When I asked my grandfather to elaborate, He just says “109 countries….109 countries….!” What does he mean?
@@wcsii
Might be a reference to the Old Testament Bible. 109? Hummm.... Could be. Moses and his journey from Egypt? Number of people? Very interesting people, don't get me wrong, but they need to expand their gene pool like our royal family are doing.
Not everyone gives Jews a hard time. Mostly it’s people who have not been successful in their own lives. When they come across people who have done better, in order to explain their failure they blame it on the Jews.
It puzzles me that despite the participation of Italy’s premier designers, every variant of the Bugatti EB110 was butt ugly.
Hate speech reported (the "109" aholes), but Ruairidh, it would be best if you were to manually remove their comments.
Don't know why, but this car always looked too plasticky to me.
I never felt they did justice to the horse shoe plus this Bugatti had no real connection to the founder, it was just a brand. Although rare you can see the EB110 at car meets in the UK such as Goodwood and Silverstone.
In the flesh you realise that you could do a lot of the work on the car with you bike tool kit. There is no rocket surgery, it is just a lot of metal, plastic and glass with all the problems of rust, the plastics cracking and the fun things that go with the dream of car ownership. Rose joints, that sort of stuff. It is not sophisticated.
Imagine a parallel future where the EB110 was just deemed a failed kit car and the Bugatti brand forgotten. Imagine if VW had put their badge on the Chiron. I would be okay with that, honest branding.
Truth is they got rid of Bugatti, dream of Chiron realised.
