Shown here is an incredibly special example of a 1994 Bugatti EB110 GT (39099), finished in it’s originally ordered in ‘Monaco Bianco’ paint with a special dual tone light grey/Nero Inchios interior. This EB110 GT was ordered new via Autexpo in Bolzano, and was delievered to Monte Carlo Royal Motors, the Bugatti importer of Monaco at the time. The EB110 was produced by Bugatti Automobili S.p.A to celebrate founder, Ettore Bugatti’s 110th birthday. This new company was set up after Italian entrepreneur Romano Artioli acquired the Bugatti brand in 1987. In order to build this new unprecedented supercar, 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 ‘Technostile’ to help develop this new Bugatti supercar. The EB110 was first developed on an aluminum chassis of which 7 total were delivered to Bugatti by Carbone Industries. After putting a number of designers to the test, it was ultimately Gandini who was selected to build his design (110) on 5 of the aluminum chassis (A1-A5). The 6th aluminum chassis was used for the car shown here, an assymetric Epowood concept (GT style). Materazzi and Benedini later restyled the EB110 technically and aesthetically using a carbon fiber chassis supplied by aircraft company, Aérospatiale.
