Bugatti EB110: What happens if you launch a great supercar in a financial crisis?

[@ethanmariani5152]

I like the style and atmosphere of this video

[@SelectedCarInvestment]

Thank you, we are very pleased to hear.

[@ericcarabetta1161]

My favorite cross-eyed supercar. I’ve loved this thing ever since it first came out.

[@SelectedCarInvestment]

understandable, we are also fans of it.

[@lalalandtopg]

LOVE THIS CHANNEL ❤

[@SelectedCarInvestment]

Thank you!

[@PaulStewartAviation]

Great video. I had a blue 1:18 eb110 when I was a kid and loved it.

[@SelectedCarInvestment]

Very understandable, and the blue color is a really great fit for the car. Thank you🙏🏼

[@einautofan6685]

I had a blue 1/18 Bburago EB110GT too when I was a kid in the 90s...😉

[@R3dd_717]

Love the new channel ❤

[@SelectedCarInvestment]

We are very pleased to hear, thank you!

[@Gorilla_Jones]

I remember following the development of this car and loving it's look. I'm glad to have found this channel. I love the presentation style and your personal style. This is not a channel for children and their obsession with drag racing. Subscribed.

[@SelectedCarInvestment]

Again, thank you for your kind words! We truly appreciate them and are happy you found our channel - look forward to the new video going live tonight.

looks insane in that metallic silver

[@richardbell7693]

Very nice video. It would have been interesting to mention Ferruccio Lamborghini’s initial interest in the project. It would also have been interesting to have covered how B-Engineering fitted into the history of the EB110 with their development of some of the remaining EB110 chassis into the B-Engineering Edonis

[@SelectedCarInvestment]

Thank you for the kind words and very nice inputs, maybe we should do a part two?

[@richardbell7693]

@@SelectedCarInvestment there is certainly a lot more to the story to tell, you could also mention the Brabus EB110

[@max.racing]

the EB110 looks so good not so "tryhard" aggressive like modern cars Especially in blue its lovely. 7:45 and the silver aswell. This car was a space ship back then and hasnt aged at all. Its timeless. and it looks way better then the Gandini design. His design looked to much like other Supercars. 6:40 i think if the EB110 was 2WD (which would make it lighter) and had only 2 turbos instead of the complicated 4 turbo system, they could have launched it earlier and had more success. now i wonder... do u have contacts to someone who owns a Edonis? Probabaly one of the rarest and most mysterious supercars ever made. They still have a couple of them in the original EB110 factory, as far as i know.

[@christophercatto7184]

Very nice video, it's always good to see the EB110 get love from enthusiasts. A few details and explanations: The engine had 5 valves/cylinder due to Paolo Stanzani's idea to keep a possibility open to supply an F1 team (hopeful but it made some sense at the time). It had 4 turbos because he was worried 2 large ones might have excessive lag but this later proved notnthe case: the Edonis has less lag with 2 turbos and more power. Marcello Gandini was hired pretty much directly by Stanzani. Artioli was never happy with any stiling proposals. But the final shape of the GT is 97% Gandini, 3% Benedini and then Ing. Materazzi removed the low rear fans. Romano Artioli did not build his family fortune. Autoexpo had mostly been built up on the business wealth and reputation of his brother Giancarlo who is dead now. In actual fact Romano lost approximately 100billion lire in debts and thus much of the family fortune. He later recovered some with the sale of the brand, which he had loaned to the company (thus separating them).

The video is great, there are a couple of things in which it could be improved, though. Bugatti's bankrupcy was declared in September 1995, not 1994. One of the names associated with the creation of the EB110 was Marcello Gandini, however Romano Artioli considered that Gandini's design was too close to Lamborghini's Diablo, so Artioli ended up asking his brother in law, Giampaolo Benedini to make changes to the design. Another very important name associated with the rebirth of Bugatti was Nicola Materazzi, who came from Ferrari and was one of the main people behind the creation of the Ferrari F-40. But overall, I enjoyed the very much this video.

[@twrcrew8852]

they got that "we don't really care" money

[@SelectedCarInvestment]

Thank you for your thoughtful and detailed comment! We truly appreciate your insight and the additional historical context you’ve shared about Bugatti's fascinating story. We’re glad you enjoyed the video overall and will definitely take your points into consideration for future content.

This is great stuff guys, please make more like this.

Very good video, ill share in my blog

[@SelectedCarInvestment]

Thank you! It's highly appreciated.

[@Garacade]

holy moly this is like the opposite style of mine and I love it. Subbed

[@Jason_Quinn]

Excellent video, subscribed. My favorite cars are road cars with strong ties to racing: Group B homologation, 1950s/60s "gentleman's racers", or modern GT4 variants. The car I would most like to see is the Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale.

[@UKBUILT]

Nice machine 😍 so underated I'm building my own V12 supercar 😎 With the OG zonda engine 😏

[@SelectedCarInvestment]

couldn't agree more.

[@ethanmariani5152]

EB110 and Testarossa are works of Art. EB110 in light blue, most beautiful. The small horseshoe in the front is a much better design than those oversized horsehsoes on the veyron which look like toilet lids.

[@SelectedCarInvestment]

it's certainly a car that can handle the light blue.

[@blue_blue-1]

EB 110: design? hold my turbos!

[@DM-wp9vq]

I had a car calender in 91' or 92' (I was 8/9yo) that had cars like the Viper, EB 110, F40, McLaren F1, a Supra I think, possibly a Corvette, probably a 959, etc etc that was a dream maker for a budding car/vehicle lover. Wish I still had it, but I pulled it apart a used the pictures as a wall collage along with a poster of the 25th Anniversary Countach in white (all front 3/4 parked on a road in the fall. This has been a favorite car of mine since! Quad turbo 60v V12 and a top speed of 200+? What's not to love? The first Viper was and still is my favorite American car of the 90's, and the F40 (& even the belittled F50) is still a dream.. #1 though is a tie between the 64' 427 Shelby Cobra S/C, a 67' Toyota 2000GT, a a 66' & 69' Pontiac GTO, a 76' Toyota Corolla SR5, a 93' Supra (red with a black interior), a 73' Camero RS, and of course a 70'-74 Nissan Skyline... and a Mark II Supra...and a bevy of Kei Cars. So yeah, lotto $$$$$$$$$$ required for all of that. Oh, and a 98'/99' Porsche 911 GT-1 Road Car! If I could just blindly pick any of those, I'd be the happiest man alive! I would daily drive it, and would do so with any of those cars. Let the world see them in the wild!

[@SelectedCarInvestment]

What an incredible list of dream cars! What would be your first pick to take for a spin if your dreams turned into reality?

[@anthonyxuereb792]

It looks so much better in black and Its biggest flaw and disappointment is the ancient dash.

[@SelectedCarInvestment]

Black really does elevate the look of almost any car, doesn't it? It adds that extra layer of elegance or aggression that some designs truly need to shine.

[@sjm.photos]

my fave car ever

[@einautofan6685]

Bugatti Story is allmost like a Fairytale, but with a sad ending... I saw a documentation in YT and Artioli said it was Sabotage at the end! Somebody doesn't want Bugatti to build and sell cars... Ferrari? Lamborghini? This is sad! Orders were put aside, they loosened bolts suspension/steering...

[@denmark39]

The chair and TV should have greater distance so we can see the car in the middle

[@newtechgs7471]

Incredible car for its time. Still amazing

[@SelectedCarInvestment]

We agree.

[@ValladolidArde]

the finest bugatti EVER made, the vw stuff is hideous

[@SelectedCarInvestment]

We are also very fond of this car.

[@s1dd3rs1]

such a shame the car had such a tragic surrounding

[@hirobosch38]

In my opinion the looks of the EB110 are better than the F40, but both have not any chance against the Jaguar XJ220.

[@SelectedCarInvestment]

Should we plan a video about the XJ220?

[@yourhero33]

These cars were sabotaged when released look into it

[@friis67]

Very nice story, thanks. I would love to hear the story of your SL65 AMG Black Edition.

[@SelectedCarInvestment]

Thank you! We will place your idea in the suggestion box.

[@tumslucks9781]

A 3.5 litre v12 was never going to sound spectacular and with the addition of 4 turbos the sound was swamped. Later versions with the sports exhaust sounder slightly better but still disappointing. The engine layout was all down to 1980s American emissions regulations which were severe. Ferrari couldn't sell their 12 cylinder cars in the US for this reason until the Testarossa was released in 1985.

[@digilux4017]

To be a ‘car content video’ is bad. No engine sounds, no real driving clips etc. it’s just a random car salesman in a LC chair talking car salesman talk..

[@Lifeguruonafence]

It was Ferrari who ended Bugatti s success.

[@jamesstaggs4160]

What is not to like? It's butt ugly, and not in a charming way. It's just plain old ugly. A good chunk of that comes from the front and the way they've done the headlights. Looks as of they designed it for popups but the changed and they either didn't bother or couldn't change it. The rest of the car isn't spectacular but with the front sorted out it may have been alright. It's not like they don't know how to design captivating cars so I'm puzzled as to why they let this design go ahead. Also at 1:40, I can't believe how massive some cars used to be. Bet the lack of power steering made that one fun to drive. Whoops. Didn't mean to make fun of your dream car man. Eye of the beholder and all that.

[@SelectedCarInvestment]

Thanks for sharing your perspective! Design is such a subjective topic, and that's what makes conversations like this so interesting. Some cars really do polarize opinions-what one person sees as iconic, another might find less appealing. And no worries about the dream car comment-it’s all part of the fun of being a car enthusiast! We love hearing everyone's takes, so feel free to keep sharing.
