+1000 What an awesome thread. Here are a few photos of an EB110 SS at the Mullin. Not older period photos, but posting for giggles: Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
A few more photos from Daytona in 1996. As far as I am concerned this is the ultimate mordern Bugatti. It was pretty and fast. By the way, it was a very rainy cold race day at Daytona that year. The Daytona 24 Hours is always cold. One year it got down to -3 C and everybody was running around in shorts trying to pretend like it was warm...I am from Chicago and I find that crazy!!

I always dreamed one day I can come up with enough time to handcraft an eb110 myself. I'll be using a 90-96 300ZX chasis and put maybe a Modena drivetrain&electronics into it
I once had a little ride n the Edonis in UK when it was here doing a test against the F1 GTR My post some pic if I can find but this is what it sounds like inside the car. ENJOY!! WTF.mp4 Video by 123quackers | Photobucket
Hi Taffy, I have a photo of the 110 RHD taken in B Engineering private museo when there back in 2001.
Yes believe it was sold by Amari a couple of years ago. Not sure if Mr Borel sold it to someone in uk first then Amari got hold of it but it was for sale in 2003 so there is 8 years unknown. My first sighting of it was 2000 when I first visited B Engineering an Pagaini through a close friend and EB110ss development test driver.
Outstanding thread. I actually disagreed with Brock Yates when the EB110 came out. He was of the opinion that it should have been a more retro design, while I thought it was a great modern design. He actually printed my letter in R&T! It still looks fantastic all these years later, so I think I was right. Cheers, George
From what I understand the ECU is a trouble spot for the EB110 as nobody repairs them and VW never kept the schematics from that period. I suspect Dauer might be able to repair them as he continued to build them until 10+ years ago from spare parts. Do service manuals even exist for the EB110? Presumably only the SS models can be imported into the US, or is it only the SS that were originally delivered to the US that are allowed here until the 25 years have passed to comply with DOT import rules? What are the other issues with the EB110? Thanks. Ryan
I think they are only allowed in the us under show/display law which limits them to 5000 miles a year iirc.
The March 9, 2011 publication from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) of cars approved for importation into the U.S. under the "Show or Display" exemption lists the "Bugatti EB110 1992-1995". There is no mention of an "SS" or any other variant. Cars imported under Show or Display are limited to 2,500 miles per year. However, I was told by someone intimately involved in Show or Display that the Feds don't have the resources to check mileages, so the limitation is illusory. Note that cars imported under Show or Display are exempt only from U.S. DOT safety regulations. They must still comply with U.S. EPA emissions regulations unless they are 21 years old or older by model year. So, 1992-1993 EB110s are home free from both DOT and EPA requirements as of 2014. It will be a few more years before all of the EB110s become exempt from emissions. I imported a Porsche 959 under Show or Display. As the 959 was already approved by NHTSA for Show or Display, it was a simple matter of completing a form and waiting for NHTSA to approve it--and it was free! You have to have the NHTSA OK before the car hits the U.S. or it will wind up stuck in a Customs impound warehouse on your nickel.
Post 50# photo 13, note the two silver cars.. One is the only RHD model which was at B Engineering in the private museum when I used to visit Frederico & Gianni from 2000-2003
