The Bugatti EB110 was a mid-engine supercar produced by Bugatti between 1991 and 1995. The EB110 was designed by Italian designer Marcello Gandini and featured a quad-turbocharged 60-valve V12 engine, making it one of the most technically advanced cars of its time.

The engine was a 3.5-liter unit producing 553 horsepower at 8,000 rpm and 450 pound-feet of torque at 4,200 rpm. This impressive power output allowed the EB110 to accelerate from zero to 60 miles per hour in just 3.2 seconds and reach a top speed of 212 miles per hour. The engine was mounted longitudinally and sent power to all four wheels via a six-speed manual transmission.

One of the most unique features of the EB110 was its suspension. The car featured a double-wishbone suspension system with adjustable dampers and a hydraulic lift system that allowed the front of the car to be raised to avoid speed bumps and curbs. The car also had an active aerodynamics system, which included an adjustable rear wing and front splitter that could be hydraulically controlled to provide optimal downforce at different speeds.

The body of the car was constructed using carbon fiber and aluminum and featured scissor doors that opened upwards. The interior of the EB110 was luxurious and featured leather seats, a wood-trimmed dashboard, air conditioning, and an Alpine audio system.

The EB110 was a technical masterpiece and represented a major comeback for the Bugatti brand, which had been defunct for many years prior to its release. Today, the EB110 is considered one of the most important supercars of the 1990s and remains a highly sought-after collector's item among car enthusiasts.
