Bugatti only produced 139 examples of the EB110 super car. Priced at $2 Million, this Bugatti EB is most definitely one of the most unique vehicles in the world. However, now there is one less in existence. One of them bit the dust during the 2009 Bavaria Moscow City Racing event held on the public streets around the Kremlin.
The accident took place during the second supercar parade with a Russian man behind the wheel with his "supermodel girlfriend" sitting in the passenger seat. Thankfully they are both O.K. However we cannot say the same about the car.
The EB110 is powered by a 3.5 Liter quad-turbo V12 that produces 542 HP which allows the vehicle to sprint from 0 to 60 MPH in just 3.4 seconds and can hit a top speed of 213 MPH.
With the Bugatti EB 218, the Volkswagen Group is presenting a new and fascinating vehicle at the Geneva Motor Show 1999 - a vehicle which will set new technical and aesthetic standards. The EB 218 follows on from the design and technical standards of the EB 118 study, which was shown at the Paris Motor Show 1998. The EB118 was produced by Giorgetto Giugiaro / ItalDesign under contract from Volkswagen and has been further developed to make this unmistakable four door saloon.
At the end of 2003 the first 21st-century Bugatti, a blend of traditional craftsmanship and ultra-modern industrial production, will leave the factory - the Bugatti EB 16·4 Veyron, a production car of exceptionally unusual design that will be based on the design study of the same name displayed by BUGATTI Automobiles S.A.S. at the 72nd Geneva Motor Show in 2002.
The Bugatti EB 118 show car debuted in 1998. It featured a 6.2 liter turbocharged W18 engine that produced 555 hp and 479 lbs-ft. It had permanent all wheel drive. The design of the car was intended to echo the 1931 Bugatti Type 50, and it features a longitudinal groove echoing the Bugatti Atlantic.
When Ettore Bugatti died in 1947, the Bugatti Company ceased production. The long, historic, and prestigious lineage of the famous Bugatti Company was no more. That is until 1989 when an Italian entrepreneur named Romano Artioli purchased the rights to the Bugatti name and began automobile production in an area north of Modena, Italy.
