Reviving the Bugatti Brand After Decades The Bugatti EB110, launched in 1991, was the first Bugatti model in over 30 years, reviving the brand after its closure in 1952.
Named After Ettore Bugatti’s 110th Birthday The "EB110" name honors the 110th birthday of Ettore Bugatti, the company’s founder, who was born in 1881.
Quad-Turbocharged V12 Engine The EB110 was powered by a 3.5-liter quad-turbocharged V12, producing 553 hp in the standard GT model and 603 hp in the EB110 SS (Super Sport).
One of the First Supercars with All-Wheel Drive Unlike many of its competitors, the EB110 featured an advanced AWD system, improving traction and stability—an innovation later used in the Bugatti Veyron.
Mind-Blowing Performance for Its Time The EB110 SS could accelerate from 0 to 60 mph (0-97 km/h) in just 3.2 seconds and had a top speed of 355 km/h (221 mph), making it one of the fastest cars of the 1990s.
Extensive Carbon Fiber Construction The EB110 was one of the first production cars to use a full carbon-fiber monocoque chassis, designed by Aérospatiale, a French aerospace company.
Designed by Two Legendary Designers The EB110 was initially designed by Marcello Gandini, who also designed the Lamborghini Countach and Miura, but his design was later modified by Gianpaolo Benedini for a more refined look.
Michael Schumacher Owned an EB110 SS F1 legend Michael Schumacher was one of the EB110's most famous owners, purchasing a yellow EB110 SS, adding to its mystique.
Bugatti Went Bankrupt After the EB110 Despite its innovation and performance, Bugatti went bankrupt in 1995 due to financial struggles, and the brand was later revived by Volkswagen in 1998.
Highly Collectible and Rare Today Only 139 EB110s were ever built (95 GTs and 44 SS models), making it an ultra-rare collector’s car, with values exceeding $2 million at auctions.

The EB110 is the last truly hand-built Bugatti, featuring a quad-turbocharged V12 and carbon fiber monocoque – faster than a McLaren F1 in 1993 but doomed by financial chaos. With only 139 units ever built (fewer than 30 in the EU), this is one of the most mileage-sensitive classics on earth, where a single kilometer can swing values by €100k.
1. Price Ranges (EUR, Mid-2024)
Standard EB110 GT (1991–1994)
Project Car (seized engine/missing parts): €1.2M – €1.8M(Warning: Quad-turbo rebuilds cost €400k+ at Bugatti specialists.)
Drivable but High-Mileage (>20k km): €2.2M – €2.8M(Must have Dauer transmission upgrade – early units fail catastrophically.)
Concours-Grade (<5k km): €3.5M – €4.5M+(Factory-sealed Michelin Pilot SX tires must still be in the trunk!)
EB110 Super Sport (1992–1995)
Base SS (611hp): €4.5M – €6.0M
SS "Le Mans Kit" (650+hp): €7.0M+(only 5 real kits exist)
Dauer-Upgraded Models: €3.8M – €4.5M(German engineering, but purists sneer)
2. Key Factors Affecting Value
✅ Provenance is King
Single-Owner Cars: +35% premium (e.g., Michael Schumacher’s former car)
Factory Test Mules: -50% value (often hidden crash damage)
✅ Million-Euro Options
Original Bugatti Luggage Set: +€150k
Giallo Triplo Strato Paint: +€300k
Carbon Fiber Interior (1994–95): +€200k
⚠️ Critical Watch-Outs

3. Where to Buy in the EU?
Official Channels
Bugatti Certified (Molsheim)(only for post-2000 restored examples)
Girardo & Co. (London)(best for Dauer-upgraded cars)
Private Sales
Bugatti EB110 Register (discretionary listings)
RM Sotheby’s Private Treaties
Pro Tip: Avoid US imports – European EB110s have better histories and zero salt corrosion.
4. Market Trends
📈 Super Sport Appreciation
+25% annually since 2020 (now €6M+ for sub-10k km)
Final 1995 SS (Chassis #139): €8M+ at auction
⚠️ Trap Warning "Bargain" €1.5M cars usually have unfixable engine damage or are GTs disguised as SS.
5. Must-Do Checks
🔧 Mechanical:
12-Cylinder Compression Test (>10% variance = red flag)
Gearbox Oil Analysis (Dauer upgrade essential)
AWD System Test (especially cold starts)
📄 Paperwork:
Bugatti SAS Authentication (€15k, but non-negotiable)
Turbo Service History (required every 15k km)
Fun Fact: The EB110’s scissor doors only open fully below 80 km/h – beyond that, aerodynamics slam them shut!
