Shown here is an incredibly special example of a 1993 Bugatti EB110 GT (chassis 052), which was originally ordered in a much less flashy color, known as ‘Grigio Chiaro’, however, can now be seen finished in this striking shade of ‘Viola SE30’ (Topaz removable paint). 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 sold by Alvan Motors in Belgium after being ordered in December of 1993, and subsequently traveled around France, Hong Kong, and finally Switzerland, where it underwent the major color change. The car also features a standard dual tone grey leather interior, and is simply a stunning car to behold!
