This is the Bugatti EB110 Super Sport. It was built to celebrate 40 years after Ettore Bugatti's death. And what would have been Ettore Bugatti's 110th birthday. It was the fastest car in the world for about a year or so, and then dethroned by the Mclaren F1. It had a top speed of 351 km/h whereas the F1 had a top speed of 386.7 km/h. But by today's standards, it's not slow at all. It's faster than a 950bhp Ferrari Laferrari.

It was an incredibly advanced car for it's time. It had 4 turbos, a small capacity V12, 4 wheel drive stood it apart from the competition and that made it one of the most significant and rare cars from that era.

It had a 3.5 liter, quad turbo, rear-mid-engined V12, pro 650bhp. This engine was later used as the basis for the new 16.4 which is found in the Veyron and Chiron. This meant that it took the EB110 to 100km/h in 3.5 seconds.

From the passenger seat, the cabin is small and the engine dominates the experiance. The interior is luxurious with lashes of hand-stitched leather and a carbon fiber dash.
There's a distinctive lawless and unique sound that comes from the small V12.
The 4 wheel drive system manages the power delivery from all 4 turbos, which instantly compels you to the horizon with relative composure.

It's an incredibly rare car, with only 139 units produced from between 1991 and 1993. If you are considering one, it's going to set you back $1.5 million. So, it's either this or a Chiron.
