Bargain Bug: Federalized Bugatti EB110 Going to the Auction Block



Before the Chiron or the Veyron, there was the EB110. The Bugatti supercar was unveiled in 1991 and produced through 1994. Powered by a quad-turbocharged 3.5-liter V-12 engine, the all-wheel-drive EB110 produced an eyebrow-raising (for the time) 560 horsepower and utilized a state-of-the-art carbon-fiber chassis. Paired with a six-speed manual transmission, the mid-mounted V-12 engine was able to wail well past 8000 revs before the tachometer needle tapped the redline.
Fewer than 150 EB110 supercars were built before the company went out of business. August Nuechter found out the hard way that the company was in financial ruin when he took this EB110 to the factory for service in September 1995. Instead of being met by smiling factory workers, he was greeted by the frowns of employees who had been informed that the company was declaring bankruptcy.
In spite of a lack of factory support, Nuechter held on to his EB110, putting 2821 miles on the car throughout more than two decades of ownership. Nuechter even brought the black EB110 with him when he moved to America. The car was certified for U.S. road use in August 2005.
