I saw one at the goodwood breakfast club a while ago and it was probably the highlight of the morning for me (apart from maybe the ZR-1 C4 corvette). They've got a quite a funky windscreen wiper linkage I seem to remember.

In recent years though I really like the look of them. They've aged well, haven't they? The more 'brutal' designs seem to do that; they don't have instant appeal but they grow on you; EB110, Alfa SZ, the Typ 8B Audi Coupé... |

Gandini did some of the design work. They did come a long way...  It was more advanced than a F40 or XJ220 with a V12 quadturbo! and 4wd drive. It wasn't the car's fault that McLaren introduced the F1. A short run were build by Dauer and the Edonis supercar is based on its carbonfiber monocoque as well. |

I read the story in octain a few months ago about that prototype. Very interesting car! Know as the car with no number as it has no vin stamp, the exhausts are a legacy from when that car competed at le man, power is estimated at 700+bhp and the story goes that when VW were developing the veyron, that EB110 was the car responsible for the veyron needing a power increase to 1000bhp, as the old model was faster ;D

Remember the days when sex was safe and motorsport was dangerous. Vintage bling always attracts pussy.  |

A short run were build by Dauer and the Edonis supercar is based on its carbonfiber monocoque as well. the Edonis was based on the EB's design, but were not reused surplus Bugatti shells as has been rumoured; Dauer Sportwagen instead bought the unused EB110 chassis from the creditors of Bugatti Automobili S.p.A., when they purchased that company's assets to make their own updated version of the EB110. You can still have one built, apparently. Kewl.  |

I know a chap that had an EB110. He sold it and bought a porsche because the uneducated masses kept accusing him of driving a Nissan!

I heard (of course have no proof...sadly) that these were horrifically laggy, but on the flipside the turbo chatter was the stuff of legend. Would happily sacrifice a sensible retirement fund to have one a nd find out for sure... They've got a quite a funky windscreen wiper linkage I seem to remember. It is comments like this that make us RR chaps irresistible to the ladies. Not for the first time have i broke out the explaination of how ackerman steering or sequential turbos work whilst in the pub and ended up elbow deep in flange. Car chat gets em wet. (fact) |

Fixing someone's blowing exhaust because they've gone "Oh, you're a car person, could you have a look at my car? It's silver and it's incredibly noisy" ? Or have I misunderstood? |

That made me do a nice big LOL ;D I absolutely love the EB110, its a shame there weren't more sold (cause yeah, then I might have more of a chance of buying one....a SuperSport in silver please). You're all spot on that although it looked a bit awkward when it first came out, the design has aged really well. And the tech in the car was huge compared to its rivals at the time. Thankfully I saw one at Goodwood while I was living over that way, not much chance of seeing one on the roads over this way! |

Objectively, it is not a pretty car. That said, it is handsome in the way that any purposeful motorsport inspired car is handsome.
Personally, I want one!

I am a little short of the £800,000 required.
I do however have a bit of time spare and some garage space. Better turn my hand to making some bodywork.
