Equipment
3,498/560hp quad-turbo V-12, 6-speed. Prototype car used promotional and exhibition with some one-off interior pieces and unique rear grille.
Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Completed in 1992 as a carbon fiber development prototype but reportedly driven little, then became an exhibition car at Bologna and repainted blue. Later tested again for emission requirements to satisfy Swiss and US regulations. Only sold into private ownership after Bugatti became insolvent, then refurbished with spare engine, reupholstered and given new wheels. The paint has some minor hazing from age which could easily be addressed if desired, but there is no significant damage or scuffs. A rubber strip has peeled up at the bottom of the left headlight and the driver’s door is slightly askew at the top. The engine compartment and underbody are detailed and very clean. The interior shows minimal use with only minor wear to the seats. A very original EB110 GT prototype with minimal use.
Market commentary
Hammered not sold at $1.85M on the block but later reported sold for $2.1M all-in. The only real product of Bugatti’s brief 1990s resurgence, the EB110 is now en vogue among collectors who appreciate late model stick-shift exotic cars. These were sub-$1M cars until the late 2010s, and 10 years ago Bonhams offered this same car in Monaco with a presale estimate of about a tenth of the one in Amelia ’22. It’s now the most expensive EB110 GT (a few of the quicker SS models have sold for more) that we’ve seen.
