The Bugatti EB110 SS is a rare and eccentric supercar that was produced between 1991 and 1995 by the Italian entrepreneur Romano Artioli. With a quad-turbocharged V12 engine that produced 552 horsepower, it was one of the first hypercars. Its highest speed was 209 mph, and its 0-60 mph acceleration time was less than 3.6 seconds. Moreover, it included an all-wheel drive system, a carbon fiber chassis, and a practical style influenced by Grand Prix racecars from the 1930s. The EB110 SS was a more powerful, lighter, and more aerodynamic variant of the original EB110.
The 3.5-liter quad-turbocharged V12 engine in the Bugatti EB110 SS generates 603 horsepower and 477 lb-ft of torque. It has an all-wheel-drive system2 and a six-speed manual transmission. The EB110 SS can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 3.2 seconds and reach a top speed of 221 mph thanks to the engine. Compared to the standard EB110, the engine also includes a reprogrammed ECU, larger injectors, and a free-flowing exhaust system.
Interior highlights of the Bugatti EB110 SS include leather seats, a digital instrument panel, a three-spoke steering wheel, and a six-speed manual shifter. The inside also features tributes to Ettore Bugatti, including the original entrance door from the former Bugatti factory in Molsheim hanging in the cantine's entrance and his signature on the dashboard. For a supercar, the inside is roomy and pleasant, with plenty of headroom and legroom.
From 1987 until 1995, a fascinating history of the Bugatti EB110 SS was documented. Romano Artioli, an Italian businessman and Bugatti enthusiast who revitalized the brand and constructed a cutting-edge plant in Campogalliano, close to Modena, came up with the idea. He employed some of the top designers and engineers in the business, including Marcello Gandini, Nicola Materazzi, and Paolo Stanzani.
The EB110 SS was an enhanced version of the ordinary EB110 that debuted on September 15th, 1991, which was Ettore Bugatti's 110th birthday The EB110 SS outperformed the EB110 GT in terms of power, weight, and aerodynamics. With an Aérospatiale-made carbon fiber monocoque chassis, a quad-turbocharged V12 engine with five valves per cylinder, and an all-wheel-drive system, it was one of the fastest and most technologically advanced supercars of its day.
Famous buyers of the EB110 SS included Michael Schumacher, who purchased a yellow model in 1994. But the EB110 SS was also incredibly pricey and exclusive. Prior to Bugatti Automobili S.p.A. declaring bankruptcy in 1995 as a result of financial issues brought on by a global recession and Artioli's investment in Lotus Cars, only 31 units were produced.
