In this Hagerty video, we delve into the tumultuous tale of the Bugatti EB 110, a car that's more dramatic than a Shakespearean tragedy. Initially hailed as a comedy with its opulent launch and record-breaking speed, the EB 110 soon faced a plot twist straight out of a soap opera. Bankruptcy, bribery accusations, and fierce competition turned the EB 110's story into a high-octane drama worthy of a Hollywood blockbuster.
The resurrection of Bugatti in Italy by Romano Artioli added a new chapter to the brand's storied history. With a dream team of engineers and a state-of-the-art factory, Bugatti aimed to reclaim its former glory. The EB 110's V12 engine was a masterpiece in itself, boasting unique features and cutting-edge design elements that set it apart from the competition.
Despite its engineering brilliance, the EB 110's fate took a dark turn amidst a global recession and alleged sabotage by rivals. The car's production numbers fell short of expectations, leading to a turbulent downfall that echoed the highs and lows of a classic Greek tragedy. The Bugatti EB 110's legacy is a reminder that even in the world of supercars, the road to success is paved with twists, turns, and unexpected obstacles.
