Shown here is an incredibly special example of a 1993 Bugatti EB110 GT (39021), which was originally ordered in ‘Bugatti Blue’ with a gray interior, however, it’s now seen finished in this striking shade of ‘Avio Blue’ current day. At one point, this example was also finished in ‘Grigio Chiaro’. The EB110, was produced by Bugatti Automobili S.p.A, which was setup after Italian entrepreneur Romano Artioli acquired the Bugatti brand in 1987. The ultimate goal was to create an unprecedented supercar, with performance that would match, or outperform anything currently available at the time, and in order to achieve this, Artioli put together a team of some of the most talented people in the automotive industry at the time. This team included the famous Italian car designer, Marcello Gandini, architect and member of the Artioli family, Giampaolo Benedini, mechanical engineer, designer and technical director, Paolo Stanzani, and mechanical engineer, Nicola Materazzi, who later filled the role of Stanzani after he had left the company (among many others). Meanwhile, a team of talented engineers, many of which were ex-Lamborghini employees, worked together under a newly formed company knows as Technostile to help develop this new Bugatti supercar. This particular example was originally completed for the 1993 model year, and subsequently spent time as a demo car in Italy after being delivered to the Modena-based dealer, Autospeak. The car then traveled to southeast France, Germany (where it received this special paint work shown here), and currently, the car is believed to be in Belgium.
