Bugatti EB110
The EB110 is the last vehicle made before the majority stake of Bugatti was purchased by Volkswagen, and the predecessor to the Veyron. This vehicle was in production between 1991 and 1995, with less than 200 examples made. This was partly due to the fact that Bugatti went bankrupt around the era of the EB110, therefore leading to Volkswagen purchasing a majority stake in the French supercar manufacturer years later. Also, like all boutique supercars, the EB110 is entirely hand-built and takes many man-hours to be completely assembled. The "EB" stands for Ettore Bugatti, the company's founder, and the "110" means this vehicle debuted 110 years after Ettore Bugatti was born. Behind the seats is a 3.5-liter quad-turbo V12 churning out 552 horses. Power is distributed to all four wheels via a six-speed stick shift. The EB110 can launch from 0 to 62 mph (100 km/h) in 3.2 seconds, onto a top speed of 213 mph. It utilizes a double wishbone suspension made of carbon fiber, and the rear wing retracts at the flick of a switch, which should be used depending on the vehicle's speed. One year after the standard EB110 was introduced, a lighter and faster model known as the EB110 Super Sport came into being. Today, these things are worth at least seven figures. Overall, the Bugatti EB110 is a breathtaking automobile, especially in person. However, the Veyron and Chiron are much better in terms of their designs, performance numbers, and pretty much everything.
