EB 110 is one of the iconic models of Bugatti. It was manufactured in the period between 1991 and 1995 by Bugatti Automobili S.p.A. The idea of EB 110 was first conceived in 1988 and was immediately put into development. The initial prototype version did not get as much positive feedback as expected, so the EB 110 went under a serious redesign. The result of it is the production version of the sporty Bugatti.
Bugatti EB 110 falls under the sports car classification. The engine implemented is a 3.5 L quad-turbocharged V12, coupled with a 6-speed manual transmission. The model has 2 modifications.

The estimated combined fuel consumption is 13.5 l/100 km (17.42 US mpg/20.92 UK mpg). Unlike the GT, Bugatti's EB 110 S top speed is 350 km/h (217.48 mph), while its acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h takes the stunning 3.4 seconds.
The car runs on petrol and has a multi-point injection as a type of fuel system. The kerb and maximum weight is lesser in comparison with the GT - 1418 kg (3126.15 lbs.) and 1720 kg (3791.95 lbs.).

An interesting fact is that the EB 110's name comes from the abbreviation of Bugatti's founder - Ettore Bugatti (EB). Although the EB 110 supercar went a serious redesign before becoming the icon it is now, it still bears Marcello Gandini's design traits - the iconic scissor doors.
