Bugatti EB110

Among the 201 Bugatti entries in the MotorJury library, the Bugatti EB110 holds its own page in a catalogue built to record every car ever made, from series production to one-off concepts. The record places its introduction in 1992. The photography on this page is hotlinked from Wikimedia Commons under an open licence, with the photographer credited on every frame.

The era it was born into

To read the Bugatti EB110 properly it helps to place it in its decade. The 1990s were the decade of refinement — airbags and ABS became universal, Japanese build quality set the world standard, and the modern SUV segment was effectively invented. Any car launched into that world was shaped by it — by what materials, engineering and regulation allowed, and by what buyers of the day demanded. Its direct contemporaries in this catalogue, introduced within three years of it, include the GM (General Motors) Hummer H1, the Mercedes-Benz Mercedes-Benz C-Class, the Subaru Subaru Impreza — the cars a buyer of the period would actually have cross-shopped.

The numbers, read closely

On paper, the Bugatti EB110 reads like this: the record lists its engine as 3.5 L Bugatti B.110.11 quad-turbocharged V12; quoted output is GT: 412 kW / Super Sport: 450 kW; kerb weight is recorded at 1620 kg / Super Sport: 1418 kg; drive goes through 6-speed manual; the layout is Rear mid-engine, four-wheel drive. Worked together, those figures give roughly 254 horsepower per tonne — the single number that says more about how a car actually moves than any of its parts alone. Every figure above is a manufacturer specification carried by the Wikipedia infobox or the open Wikidata record for this model — nothing on this page is estimated, and where a source is silent the row simply does not appear. Production is recorded at 126 units, which makes it a genuine rarity — most enthusiasts will never see one in person.

Its place in the Bugatti story

Within Bugatti's own catalogue the Bugatti EB110 sits alongside the Bugatti 57 Galibier, the Bugatti 8-cylinder line, the Bugatti Centodieci, the Bugatti Type 13. The record names the Bugatti ID90 as its predecessor and the Bugatti Veyron as its successor, fixing its place in the model line's chronology. Design is credited to Marcello Gandini (prototype styling) / Giampaolo Benedini (production styling and interior) / Paolo Stanzani, Tecnostile (prototype Chief Engineering) / Nicola Materazzi (Productio. Assembly is recorded at Italy: Modena, Campogalliano (Bugatti Automobili Campogalliano).

How this catalogue works

This library is generated, verified and rebuilt from the open record on every deploy. The catalogue skeleton comes from Wikidata, specifications from Wikipedia's infoboxes under CC BY-SA, photography from Wikimedia Commons under each file's own licence, and the ownership data from United States federal safety records. Nothing is written by hand and nothing is invented: every fact on this page traces to a public source, and every page is rebuilt nightly as those sources improve. Errors in the source record will appear here too — and disappear the night the source is corrected.

From catalogue to ownership

A specification sheet is only half a car's story. The other half — what breaks, what it costs to keep, which years to avoid — lives in MotorJury's ownership database, computed nightly from federal complaint and recall records and EPA economy data. Where the Bugatti EB110 was sold in the United States, its model years carry full ownership verdicts there.
