Description
The Bugatti EB110 Super Sport - abbreviated as EB110 SS - is a limited-production supercar produced by Bugatti Automobili S.p.A. as a top-performing variant of the EB110, produced between 1991 and 1995. The EB110 was created to celebrate Ettore Bugatti's 110th birthday, with "EB" standing for the initials of Ettore Bugatti and 110 being the number of years since Bugatti's birth year: 1881.
The EB110 Super Sport is the top-performing version of the EB110, equipped with a 3.5L (3,489 cc) quad-turbocharged V12 engine with a power output of 611 hp (456 kW) at 8,250 rpm and a torque output of 480 ft·lb (651 N·m). It is all-wheel-drive, with a six-speed manual transmission driving all wheels. The EB110 SS is built on a carbon fiber chassis under an aluminum body created by Marcello Gandini of Bertone. It could reach a top speed of 225 mph.
The EB110 SS uses a double wishbone suspension, scissor doors, and a glass engine cover that provides a view of the V12 engine. The SS uses a fixed rear wing as opposed to the EB110 GT's speed-sensitive electronic rear wing.
Fun fact: Formula One driver Michael Schumacher was one of the first to purchase this car.
