[@deantoth]

He does indeed tell many anecdotes over and over. And like you said ,we do not mind. I'm glad someone else noticed. In a long running series like Jay's , one assumes many people are seeing you for the very first time, so the examples you use are relevant to many people even though they are repetitive to many others. There's probably hundreds to thousands of first time viewers for every episode. So the repeating stories are actually just shrewd placement of information Nuggets for newcomers. As any good writer would do in a long running series. Cheers

I remember when I was in tech school, picking up a car mag and reading the article about this car. It was the first car I'd ever heard of with 5 valves per cylinder. And one of the other things they don't mention in this video is, it has no carpet. The floor covering is quilted leather.

They are great engines. I guess when VW moved on to the 2.0T they didn't think the extra valve was worth it. If you think about it, it's the most optimal valve layout in theory considering no space is left unused.

[@darrengiddings8229]

@@placeholdername3206 Actually having 5 valves for one cylinder is not really a great thing. This is because you end up with spaces between the valves that are too narrow. This becomes a structural weakness in the engine design.

[@philipminns3933]

I'm a musician, so should really support people adding music whenever possible. But I entirely agree. I frequently stop watching videos because the music makes it difficult to concentrate. Putting big pumping music over the sound of a great engine is of course particularly unforgivable.

[@philipminns3933]

Don't get me wrong, a good use of music such as in some of Top Gear's fabulously produced pieces is great, particularly as it's arranged and mixed so as not to get in the way of the speech. It's having music in the background for the sake of it that's the problem. Like, if you have so little confidence in the ability of your content to hold people's attention without artificially-implied mood from (cheaply-bought, muso-screwing) library music, maybe think about improving your content.

Both Ferrari and Lamborghini made their most beautiful cars in that era and then there were the concept cars and ultra-rare cars like the Tatra MTX, Jaguar XJR-15 Sport, Spectre R32 and of course the EB110. The other great thing about this era was it being a peak of powerful analogue supercars for the ones which were left - the Diablo SE30 Jota didn't have any electronic driving assists or even power steering and unlike the VTs was raw RWD and ready to make you realize it if you didn't already!

[@MALW-ic2rh]

Matt Arnold Matt Arnold XJ220 is probably the best looking car of the era, but I still think aesthetically cars like the 458, The Aston Martin DB9 or the Murcielago are better looking than the EB110, F40 or the F1.

Most likely just a coincidence, but I see styling cues resembling later models of other supercars (F430, LFA, Murci, etc). And that manual gearbox connecting the driver to a first-of-its-kind quad-turboed beast is an astonishing engine for its time! ..doesn't sound bad either. Definitely a cool car.

As many said, the history of this car is documented on Cironi's videos. Almost all the doubts they are having on this video are answered ha ha. Gandini was involved on body design, he doesn't think the car is beautiful, he distanced from the project dissatisfied/unhappy. For Jay all cars seem the most beautiful... Materazzi projected the engine, he thought 4 big turbos was too much (he solved the issue in the Edonis using only 2 turbos), he solved the integral traction they wanted to implement from 50-50% that they wanted (crazy too much in a sport car) to 27-73% front-rear traction split. He also distanced from the project dissatisfied/unhappy. Engineer Stanzani, one that started the proyect as leader or something like that, also got out and was replaced. Sadly this videos are getting a little boring, like made with a cookie cutter, many artsy shoots and they don't show the car details.

[@william_SMMA]

You do know that beauty is subjective right?

[@fastdays_1]

The company he's referring to which is servicing EB110 is B Engineering, located just minutes away from the Bugatti factory in Campogalliano. B Engineering is also the company behind the EDONIS which was supposed to be the "continuation" heir of the EB110 but never make it to the market (just very few cars were made). Here's their website in case someone is interested www.bengineering.it . I visited the Bugatti factory in Campogalliano and I can say that it's possibly the best factory I've seen in terms of design and layout, considering that it was built in late 80s is still a masterpiece of rational, classy and timeless design.

[@fastdays_1]

@Elton Joel If I remember correctly the property of the Factory is now of a real estate company. There was a project to convert the area into a shopping mall (destroying the factory) and I've seen sketches but it was abandoned some years ago due to lack of investors. Pagani is for sure not going to buy it as they've just built their own brand new factory/HQ 2 years ago and I also see no reason for them in being interested in such a project and investment.

Im old enough to remember when this car came out. Magazines at the time said it had terrible build quality. I dont know if that is true or not, but that was what it was being said back then.

[@xletzyy]

Read the same online and in old car books. Apparently it's mostly interior quality and engine boost problems. Sadly Bugatti was barley making it by at this time. I've heard you can see panel gaps on this thing hard-core.

[@energymc22]

6:46 Designed by Nicola Materazzi and Paolo Stanzani, the engineers and legends also behind the Ferrari F40 and others. For the fans of this car, there are great interviews with Romano Artioli, Stanzani and Materazzi on Davide Cironi's channel. Italian language but with English subs. Highly recommended! You can also find plenty of video tours inside the factory which is still standing deserted, complete with it's small test track running around the outside perimeter

[@poplaurentiu4148]

The factory was affected by an powerful earthquake that hit Itally in that region back in that period, all that it is mentioned on Davide Cironi interview with Romano Artioli and other Bugatti technicians, in the pictures it can be seen the cracked marble on the walls and floors.. Also the fact that many engineers moved from different brands factory to another Ferrari, Fiat, Alfa-Romeo, Lancia, Lamborghini

[@curbowman]

In the Davide Cironi series about this car, I was struck to know how few people worked to design it. The entire all-wheel drive system was developed by just one engineer!! That's impossible today.

I visited the Bugatti factory in Campogaliano, near Modena in Italy in the early 90's. It was a wonder to see. They had a beautiful V12 engine fixed on the wall of the entrance lobby. The office walls and corridors were covered in blue Bugatti leather (fake, I hope) and the plant floor was a spotless white. As I was a little short of money, I only bought a Bugatti tie and sweater at the gift shop.

[@toddbeeman5933]

Certain angles of the EB are just tantalizing in my mind. I love the line/flow of the rear quarter panel from the downward-sloping roofline, the narrow top of the cockpit into the wide rear end, and the integration the body gives to the rear diffuser! Most likely just a coincidence, but I see styling cues resembling later models of other supercars (F430, LFA, Murci, etc). And that manual gearbox connecting the driver to a first-of-its-kind quad-turboed beast is an astonishing engine for its time! ..doesn't sound bad either. Definitely a cool car. I'd love to see a stylish (& functional) roof scoop, but I feel that way about [probably] too many supercars. Haha
