Jay "Happen to have a spare Bugatti V12 sitting around the shop" Leno
Bruh....
that was really random, but very jay leno thing to do
the man loves engines, and if he didnt want to buy the car (they are pretty expensive), it wouldn't surprise me that he would buy the engine if someone offered it up
@@thecatthatgotaway if I had the money I'd have a 2jz a rb26 and a 4rotor
On a cart w bugatti blue wheels.
When he explained that the entrepreneur who sought to make the EB110 went bankrupt, paying his employees to the very last day, it gave me this strange warm feeling. He was an ethical man. It's admirable.
Natalia Kruschev I felt the exact same!
same rare to see in the super rich sounds like a good man
@@andrewgillard4592 That is what a strong sense of national pride and duty instill. Honor. Pride. Loyalty to one's own men.
@@nataliakruschev5078 Pass the word to our recent American youth! National pride! I understand this is out of place but your comment struck a nerve for me.
@@dougclark5485 As if I like the unpatriotic filth of my country. The generation of teenagers you see now are becoming more conservative than the Reaganites. They're the real right wing.
I love when Jay tells his Viper horsepower story, over and over. An uncle we all love.
He does indeed tell many anecdotes over and over. And like you said ,we do not mind. I'm glad someone else noticed. In a long running series like Jay's , one assumes many people are seeing you for the very first time, so the examples you use are relevant to many people even though they are repetitive to many others. There's probably hundreds to thousands of first time viewers for every episode. So the repeating stories are actually just shrewd placement of information Nuggets for newcomers. As any good writer would do in a long running series. Cheers
Never be anything over 400hp! 👍🏼
550 hp back in the 90’s and really that is still very powerful 25 years later.
550 is nothing
@@ISAK.Mstill goes 218 top speed, a lot of cars with 7 or 800 horsepower can’t do that
@@ISAK.M You probably drive your moms van/SUV, sit tf down lmao.
@@ISAK.Mlol 200 plus top speed horsepower isn't everything bucko 🤣👍 but I understand the sentiment
@@ISAK.M what kind of brainrot are you to say "550 is nothing"
I wonder if Jay has ever considered dying his hair denim. I would like to see that level of commitment to outfit coordination. The result would be nothing short of extraordinary.
It might all fall out....
Hilarious. BTW, I am Not Your Biggest Fan.
Ahhh the ol' Canadian tuxedo!
I guess Jay might consider that a 'resto-mod'.
@Scott Kasaboski r/woooosh
Nice to see a humble and knowledgeable owner.
Agreed
Not sure he owns it. He sells these cars (in Lyngby, Denmark). Perhaps they opened an American branch?
If he sells it, then he owns it right..?
@FreakoRico999 Touché
Probably on consignment actually.
I used to love driving my red Bugatti EB110 every day from the bedroom to the kitchen and back, on my chopstick track! Good old days! Sold it few years ago, and I miss it so much!
@Budget Boost DIY start a business, invest in the stock market/crypto/forex, get into real estate, dropship, rob a bank whatever
I don’t get it?
Was there a Bugatti Big Wheel version?
Man he really has done his homework. Nice attention to detail.
When my mother died I had a marathon of your videos in my home theater , it was very good company during a difficult time thank you Jay.
wally beav sorry for your loss bud! Hope all will be well for you.
Sorry for ur loss dude...keep on keepin on...lifes a garden dig it
I feel you man... i lost my mother at my age 29. cars helped me to survive through rought time...
That's passion...I'm so sorry for your loss. Jay is a good person, that's hard to find.
Sorry to hear this bud, I lost my mom at 21, hang in there, remember her and cherish it, don’t let anyone tell you how to feel. Love yourself bud!
It just struck me, I'm so glad none of Jay's videos have an annoying, different music track every 20 seconds. So much stuff on TV has that stupid annoying music to it.
Agreed so many video ruined by garbage music. Why do people always feel the need?
I'm a musician, so should really support people adding music whenever possible. But I entirely agree. I frequently stop watching videos because the music makes it difficult to concentrate. Putting big pumping music over the sound of a great engine is of course particularly unforgivable.
Agreed. 100%
Don't get me wrong, a good use of music such as in some of Top Gear's fabulously produced pieces is great, particularly as it's arranged and mixed so as not to get in the way of the speech. It's having music in the background for the sake of it that's the problem. Like, if you have so little confidence in the ability of your content to hold people's attention without artificially-implied mood from (cheaply-bought, muso-screwing) library music, maybe think about improving your content.
@@ricochetey because they need to fill the time with missing content. Jay has the content, and doesn't need the music crap as filler.
I remember when I was in tech school, picking up a car mag and reading the article about this car. It was the first car I'd ever heard of with 5 valves per cylinder. And one of the other things they don't mention in this video is, it has no carpet. The floor covering is quilted leather.
Wtf. What do they call that so I can look that up?
I once saw an Audi 5 valve head in a scrap bin at work. It was an odd sight.
@@spacepope-1 lol someone cooked it
@@spacepope-1 They aren't uncommon tho, you most likely dont know this but it's just the 1.8T engine found in MK4 Golf GTI's, Jettas, Passats, A4's etc from about 96 to around 2005. They are great engines. I guess when VW moved on to the 2.0T they didn't think the extra valve was worth it. If you think about it, it's the most optimal valve layout in theory considering no space is left unused.
@@placeholdername3206 Actually having 5 valves for one cylinder is not really a great thing. This is because you end up with spaces between the valves that are too narrow. This becomes a structural weakness in the engine design.
EB 110 Legend Timeless Masterwork
That Bugatti blue is one of the best blues I've ever seen.
It's a Bugatti factory color, but yeah most people would just refer to that as variant of baby blue
Petty blue,and from chrysler australia sterling blue (Sterling Moss)both super blues like the eb110
Audi Nogaro Blue. First time I saw that colour was on an RS2 in a parking lot.
I'm going to chime in and say Ford Grabber Blue on an 11-14 Shelby GT500
Blue by u from the evo8 mmmmmm
The unloved Bugatti. Honestly I find it more interesting than either the Veyron or the Chiron.
It is and without it there would be no modern Bugatti. My uncle has one of the first ones in the US and they used to turn their noses up at it and everyone said that's not a Bugatti. Granted he got lucky buying a estate in Portugal that included the car he owns. But now the best part is the idiots that claimed it's no Bugatti now want to buy his car and he refuses to sell to them no matter the price.
Is this bugatti eb110ss still Exist now in 2019 ?
@@arabian1730 Yes in private collections
Say for yourself , i love EB110 , the best bugatti ever made , no electronics , just you and the car , made one mustake and you ended up in the wall , or worse!
Since when is EB110 the unloved Bugatti? It wasn't the bedroom poster car like Diablo, Countach or TR512. Just like McLaren F1 wasn't. McLaren F1 and Bugatti exterior design was purposeful, so it didn't have that much "flare" for bedroom poster. None of the kids knew about F1 till Need for Speed 2 went out. 1993 EB110 SS is the car with best 90's Nurburgring time. And in 2019, it's still the fresh looking EB110 is better Bugatti than Ettore Bugatti ever made. It should be really named by Artioli. He made the better job of "not a single compromise" in making the best car.
This old Bugatti is a real beauty compared to todays VW Bugatti Veyron.
Another one of the greatest cars of all time... F1, XJ220, EB110 ❤️
well today's bugatti is the chiron is beautiful you're trippin
That's one of the most beautiful cars I've ever seen. I was on the fence at first but quickly realized how absolutely timeless the design is. This was one of the most interesting episodes of Jay's Garage I've ever seen. Thanks for sharing.
Same! I thought the car was blah but when I saw it driving, wow. I want to say also one Bugatti note that was not mentioned was that that weird goldfish mouth shape to me reminds me of the old fashioned grill shape. I wonder if that was on purpose as well.
It looks like a Dyson vacuum cleaner.
@@deantoth the form of the radiator was influenced by Ettores father - who was a prolific artist. Ettores brother was also extremely gifted - as a sculptor.
The Edonis is better
I have a 1/43 scale model that I bought over 25 years ago .
Looks like I’m staying awake for another 35 mins. Thanks Jay!!
Likewise, lol. Always posting right before I plan to go to bed with this guy.
I knew I wasn’t the only one (laughs).
lol me to!! didn't know this car was even made
same
@@foellerd "..before I plan to go to bed with this guy." Hmm. Interesting phrasing. Lol
Great episode. This man's been inducted into Jay's "Come by anytime" club.
His name is Stefan thank you very much
Sourabh Unnikrishnan the eb110 is certainly a club membership.
he's just a salesman
@G. C. Scott you're right. The whole atmosphere is different in this episode.
turke33 salesman or otherwise, he is a great guest.
I was working in the trim shop on the Esprit line at Lotus the first time I saw one of these. At 16yrs old watching this do laps round the test track, loved it ever since. Got to meet Romano too, great man.
I have had this as a model since i was young. It is by far my fav, shame there is few videos on it in motion. Thank you!!
You can hear all the stories from original engineer and designer of making this car and motor and gearbox on Davide Cironi's channel. He interviews them in italian but the subtitles are perfect and you wont miss anything because all the passion and emotion is there to be witnessed of these amazing engineers and designers.
I watch them all so good videos
Yes...Artioli's story was very emotional...
Yeah the subtitle are very good I used French subtitle and they are perfect and the cars and guess he as very top notch
EE DESIGN k
Thankyou!
The problem with the EB110 was that it was a acquired taste. Back in the early 90's everyone thought that car was hideous, but now everyone sees it as beautiful. Style had to catch up to it not the other way around. The designer was a master. Gives me a little respect for Schumacher. He seen how good it was from the beginning.
I rember sawing it back then and thinking it looks weird,now it's awesome
You're right. When I first saw this car (13) I thought it was hideous. Now (21) I love it, I find it gorgeous.
it's still hideous...
I don't think it's hideous but it doesn't do anything for me.
you are all stupid squeakers
I hope you never stop doing these. I really enjoyed watching. I'm Italian and I can really appreciate this car.
The fact he bought it to drive deserves a nod of respect... Nice.
Facts
Of course Jay just has a random Bugatti engine that's not even in a car that he's had for 25 years.
That's as old as my Impreza lol
Worldwide Wyatt when the f1 engine came out on that restoration blog... only on Jay Leno’s garage.
I can't believe they never mentioned the offset engine placement. In order to squeeze the engine, transmission & AWD differential into the tight engine compartment they had to place the engine 3" off from the centerline. It's become a quirk synonymous with the EB110.
Silvester Humaj or the fact that the transmission case is integrated in to the engine block and so on.
@tokyosmash yeah I was looking at it and thinking there must have been a motorcycle drivetrain engineer on the project... so cool!
A passionate informed owner! Bravo
Brings back a lot of memories of being in my late 20's and getting to see and work on one in the flesh. A icon then and still now.
The car's owner is so likeable. You can tell he's a huge Bugatti nerd (and automotive enthusiast) and probably could talk about all kinds of arcane Bugatti details from memory, but he manages to stay restrained. And he's very comfortable talking to Jay. Plus, something Jay hasn't driven ever before--that's pretty rare. Great video!
Nicola Materazzi South Italian engineer Born: January 28, 1939 (age 79 years), Caselle in Pittari, Italy hE ALSO DESIGNED THE f40 and the Stratos, he ll be 80 soon, on the 28th we have to congratulate him. He asked it. So please let's do it!!
Me too, how can I congratulate him?

Respect!
The father of modern supercars and he actually build a continuation improving the Bugatti engines 10 years latter B-Engineering with the Bugatti Edonis model that suppose to be much faster than the EB110 Super Sport since it has recreated with RWD and turbo-compressor the car was pushed closer to 800bhp and manage a 360km/h..
@@poplaurentiu4148 Yes he is :). Too bad that in the north of italy they have that bias about south italians being lazy undeveloped and uneducated. Sounds familiar, right?
The EB110 and the XJ220 are absolute legends, there's something so different about them that sets them apart from their rivals.
Mclaren f1 the top dog
Yea but that was pretty much a 3 car rivalry the EB110 the XJ220 and the McLaren F1. The XJ220 and EB110 were remarkably similar performance wise but the F1 just destroyed them both
Agreed 100%
No it's bmw
If I owned an EB110 I believe Jay is the only guy I'd ever let drive it besides my father. Man such a beautiful and well designed car. (even with the really ugly dash haha)
Been about 25 years since I saw this car in a magazine and wondered what it drove like in real life. Thanks for doing this video :)
Beautiful vehicle, knowledgeable guest, & a wonderful conversation. I enjoyed every second and learned a lot about the EB110.
Looks like a 300zx and a Diablo had a french baby
Yess so it's not just me seeing some Lambo in the bum!
The baby was Italian.
Yup it actually has the same head lights as the 300zx lol
Konnies Egg the eb110 had custom headlights. The 300ZX shared headlights with the diablo on the facelifted models. That's it.
Spot-on!
This Bugatti looks much better than I remember it being
I think alot of it is the legend surrounding it and the fact that it didn't succeed making it super rare time has a way of making things better...aging whiskey analogy here
Jay is a great historian of both cars and personality interviews. This car seems like a lot of old technology when compared to some of the EVs that are out and about to come out.
boxed fenders I agree 100%
It is quite ugly, it is screaming 1980's...
One of the nicest car ever
This is one of those cars I'd really think Jay would own.
Jon - this is one of those cars I would own.
Sucks jay Leno is getting so old :( Some people should live forever
So you say, people who have nothing/less should die preferably asap?
@@hjnhynjnhslyjnkhjngnjnslyr7330 exactly!
Why would you wish that upon anyone
‘So old’. How incredibly rude. Ive seen worse for his age.
Jay's car collection will live forever, and with it his name. He has the finest collection on Earth.
You often say that you could "put out this design tomorrow" and it would look modern, but this just looks so much like a '90s car to me.
exactly. it looks good, but still old. nothing modern about it lol
It could pass in the 00s in my opinion
Yes it does look dated, but i love the 80's and early 90's angularity of body lines.
Its the front end,maybe the head lights ?
he says that about his model T as well xd
Late 80s early 90s IMO was the peak of exotic supercar designs....
I would say the peak of beautiful car design was the late 60s, but the best looking supercars was 2000s or even now. The new GT or 06 DBS Volante are probably some of the best looking cars made
Both Ferrari and Lamborghini made their most beautiful cars in that era and then there were the concept cars and ultra-rare cars like the Tatra MTX, Jaguar XJR-15 Sport, Spectre R32 and of course the EB110. The other great thing about this era was it being a peak of powerful analogue supercars for the ones which were left - the Diablo SE30 Jota didn't have any electronic driving assists or even power steering and unlike the VTs was raw RWD and ready to make you realize it if you didn't already!
Matt Arnold Matt Arnold XJ220 is probably the best looking car of the era, but I still think aesthetically cars like the 458, The Aston Martin DB9 or the Murcielago are better looking than the EB110, F40 or the F1. Performance and driving feel I will agree with you. When I got my driver license my father and I drove to Germany and drove a 1993 Porsche 911 Targa, and there is no doubt the liberty carmakers had was special.
It was the peak of every car manufacturer. Mr2, supra, nsx, 3000gt, eclipse, starion, 280zx, 300zx, sylvia, skyline gtr, rx7 countach, eb110, xj220, merrack ss... it was the golden age.
80s and 90s companies where doing whatever it took to standout and be different and make history
I've been subbed for years and keep running across new (to me) content. Thanks, Jay.
I visited the Bugatti factory in Campogaliano, near Modena in Italy in the early 90's. It was a wonder to see. They had a beautiful V12 engine fixed on the wall of the entrance lobby. The office walls and corridors were covered in blue Bugatti leather (fake, I hope) and the plant floor was a spotless white. As I was a little short of money, I only bought a Bugatti tie and sweater at the gift shop.
Another one of the greatest cars of all time... F1, XJ220, EB110 ❤️

My all time favorite dream car from when I was a kid and still to this day. I can't wait to see what you do with the engine after 25 years.
I'll always remember seeing 2 of these at a dealership in Monaco as a kid. Really left a mark on me.
Great car, but whoever is filming the engine can you tell them to show the engine instead of trying to make artsy moving shots. I would like to see more
zollotech I agree so many details lost because of the filming style
Hey Aaron 👋
just pause the video of you wanna take a closer look.
Yeah great car, but what's the Doug score? What are it's ridiculous quirks and dissapointing features?

You two nailed this video. thank you! If he has any other cars in his collection Jay, you should definitely have Stephan back.
That is so cool. Thanks for sharing these wonderful machines and the stories behind them!
Now that is a rich history...someone make a movie on Bugatti! Jay, you have the contacts...
*Jay's friends are too busy looking at Jay's Chin on Google Earth.*
Dude above said that Davide Ciceroni's channel has some videos of interviews with some of the engineers and designers of the car. Its subtitled because they speak Italian but the emotion is apparently there and so on.
Any one else have this as a model kit from Revell when they were a kid(or ever)? With the working steering, opening doors/lids and pop up spoiler this was so cool(and complicated) to build 25'ish years ago. Even just gluing the 4 turbos on felt powerful imagining them all spooling up. Imagination is a glorious thing. Wish I still had it, and the car too. :P Thank you Steffan for bringing it to Jay's garage for us all to check out!
One of the first models I built properly and did not get impatient with and throw together. Unfortunately it's life ended with an M80 on 4th of July a couple years later.
I had this kit. It was amazing! Mine had a grey/silver body with silver wheels. At this young age I decided to paint the wheels gold. I remember that it actually looked pretty good but I'm sure if I saw it now it would look ghastly.
Great piece Jay, fantastic car,way ahead of it's time.
Favorite way to spend my Sunday afternoons.
EB built his own factory, and when the local town Dared to send him a Electricity Bill, built his own power plant, take your bill and shove it...
Now That's a Awesome move. Never new that
cringe
Electricity is expensive in Europe
Really? The "local town" where your factory is, and where your employees live, doesn't deserve to be paid for the electricity it provides? You think it's admirable to cheat your suppliers? Hmm.
@Steven Lindsey, The bills he left unpaid were cheating. He cheated the municipality out of the electricity he didn't pay for before he created his own supply. This isn't rocket science.
I have looked at my blue EB110 sitting for years on my shelf. Nice to see one moving without me pushing it in 1/18 size! Looks fantastic.
This car and the Countache are the best looking super cars to me, over all
Really enjoyed this one! Thanks Jay.
Got that early 90s futuristic look to it. I absolutely love it.
9 0 s F U T U R I S T I C
“When you really spank it”. 😎 cool owner! He has obviously spanked it! You could hear the excitement in his voice!
Chris Carbaugh That was nice. 25k miles allowed per year only? Let’s make the most of it.
I just love that these 90's supercars came with tool kits. Nowadays, my Honda civic manual doesn't even describe how to change the oil but back then, people were expecting you to be able to do some things with your ultra-rare, ultra-expensive supercar.
Fantastic story! Favorite super car of the 90’s
I remember having the die cast model of this exact car when I was around 12 years old and I told myself this was the nicest car that I have ever seen. Funny cause it’s still gorgeous and I still have that die cast model in the same color.
Almost every episode reminds me that I have a bad jealous streak. Absolutely beautiful car.
What a beautiful vehicle, IMO so ahead of its time. A great deal of restraint in the design styling, so good to hear a well informed owner quad turbo’d 12 cylinder......I still have the Road and Track magazine review of this car. Great video Jay Leno!
jay, probably the only person who can say, "yeah, I've got a spare Bugatti engine in my garage"
I hade a burago 1/18 scale replica of this EB110 as a kid. it has had a place in my heart ever since. beautiful car and great video!
This car is stunning, people recount the posters on their walls when kids it’s usually the f40 or the mclaren f1 or the countach, the usual suspects. but for me it was the eb110 that was on my wall.
When I was a kid, I had almost the entire collection of pages in "Wheels & Wings" from 1988 to 1991. This car was one of them that amazed me the most. I loved its whole combination of contemporary, futuristic, and supercar looks. The 1 other supercar of the time that stunned me was the XJ220, which had more of a "slingshot", "torpedo", and "missile" look to it, even though it still resembled a contemporary, futuristic supercar.
For me it was the jaguar XJR-15
Certain angles of the EB are just tantalizing in my mind. I love the line/flow of the rear quarter panel from the downward-sloping roofline, the narrow top of the cockpit into the wide rear end, and the integration the body gives to the rear diffuser! Most likely just a coincidence, but I see styling cues resembling later models of other supercars (F430, LFA, Murci, etc). And that manual gearbox connecting the driver to a first-of-its-kind quad-turboed beast is an astonishing engine for its time! ..doesn't sound bad either. Definitely a cool car. I'd love to see a stylish (& functional) roof scoop, but I feel that way about [probably] too many supercars. Haha
This and the Vector @@michaelsimko7694
I remember same blue one on my room wall as a teenager too!
Omg every thing build from zero omg work of art osum ...so gentle mans car ... big thanx to you to show us such a real icon...

I think Jay's told that Viper ' you'll never see over 400hp again' story 245 times

"...and everybody thought that was the end of the world."
Just for that, you are getting the oversized A-Pillars and small Italian oil galleys.
Also he mentions the McLaren F1 at least twice in every episode.
I've lost count of the "you could fit a family of five in the trunk" of any big American car. We'll all miss his leno-isms one day.
The company he's referring to which is servicing EB110 is B Engineering, located just minutes away from the Bugatti factory in Campogalliano. B Engineering is also the company behind the EDONIS which was supposed to be the "continuation" heir of the EB110 but never make it to the market (just very few cars were made). Here's their website in case someone is interested www.bengineering.it . I visited the Bugatti factory in Campogalliano and I can say that it's possibly the best factory I've seen in terms of design and layout, considering that it was built in late 80s is still a masterpiece of rational, classy and timeless design.
@Elton Joel If I remember correctly the property of the Factory is now of a real estate company. There was a project to convert the area into a shopping mall (destroying the factory) and I've seen sketches but it was abandoned some years ago due to lack of investors. Pagani is for sure not going to buy it as they've just built their own brand new factory/HQ 2 years ago and I also see no reason for them in being interested in such a project and investment.
Wow...totally forgot about Edonis. I remember reading the road test of it in Car magazine(or EVO maybe) back in the day. Very cool...thanks for this.
Thanks for the info! I also know that in California Canepa Motors has sold a few of them. They are probably qualified to service also....
Thanks for the website! That have images of the Bugatti's being serviced....thats so cool :o
Sadly that the Company was ruined by Ferrari with their bad tricks in the background making pressure on the suppliers. Happily not more possible for them today.
I remember wanting one of these as a child! Still one of my dream cars.
I had a poster of this car on my wall as a kid. cool to see one in action and to learn more about the car.
Only the Italians do this. Amazing short run works of art that always seem to bankrupt the manufacturer. The automotive talent around Modena and northern Italy is unsurpassed.

Jay just has an EB110 engine on stand-by to eventually so the world’s coolest engine swap.
Possibly my favorite super car. Although the styling isn't that wild there is something just magical about it
I remember reading about this in car and driver in the 90's as a teen....it was a dream car at the time. It still is a beautiful car
This kid knows his stuff.
He does. But it was funny seeing him saying whatever he wants to say regardless of what Jay was asking him.. 😅
atlcorvette he is in the car business himself
That's not a kid.
Davide Cironi did a great short film on this car with all the old guys who built it.
very good
The Davide Cironi video on the factory will break your heart.
He made many beautiful videos on the EB110: he interviewed Romano Artioli, Giampaolo Benedini (architect of the Bugatti "blue factory" and designer of the EB110), Nicola Materazzi (the engineer), Loris Bicocchi (the test driver)...
I remember when this came out. I didn’t like the “face”. After watching this episode I have much respect for this car, very impressive. Great story. Thanks Jay.
6:46 Designed by Nicola Materazzi and Paolo Stanzani, the engineers and legends also behind the Ferrari F40 and others. For the fans of this car, there are great interviews with Romano Artioli, Stanzani and Materazzi on Davide Cironi's channel. Italian language but with English subs. Highly recommended! You can also find plenty of video tours inside the factory which is still standing deserted, complete with it's small test track running around the outside perimeter
davide's channel is a must for car affectionados
Why have I never found these??
The factory was affected by an powerful earthquake that hit Itally in that region back in that period, all that it is mentioned on Davide Cironi interview with Romano Artioli and other Bugatti technicians, in the pictures it can be seen the cracked marble on the walls and floors.. Also the fact that many engineers moved from different brands factory to another Ferrari, Fiat, Alfa-Romeo, Lancia, Lamborghini
In the Davide Cironi series about this car, I was struck to know how few people worked to design it. The entire all-wheel drive system was developed by just one engineer!! That's impossible today.
The Carrera GT lift kit story makes a return haha, gotta love Jay
Hay jay, just want to let u know that u were always my favorite talk show host out of all of em, when I was growing up, and I Reilly enjoy watching jay lenno’s garage a lot. It Reilly very entertaining and informative. I’m glad technology has reached the point we’re I can tell u that , without having to send u a wired letter or something like that. Keep up the good work. I wanna see a review on the Ferrari 550 Maranello, if that ever becomes a option. Thank u much.
This car was the best, but it came in the wrong moment. Today it is still amazing. I love it.
I wish the modern Bugattis looked half as good as this.
New ones are fast but ugly
they sexy too
Chiron is one of the most beautiful cars ever lmao
@@nbigham1232 no its not
nbigham123 🤡
Dang the 110 looks way better than most modern cars, wow, art.
true, such a well proportioned package
I agree that it looks better then anything today but disagree that it is a beautiful car. These left me cold. I just didn't like the way they looked. For some reason I have a irrational hatred of Bugatti. For some reason I think they're completely irrelevant in the world today and in fact even back in the 1930s they were as well. This car was soo ugly that I even took my 1:18 scale model apart because I hated the way it looked.
redmr2na lunatic
Gandini design
Nice one! In my younger years (1991) i had the opportunity to Visit the old Maserati Factory in Modena, the Ferrari plant in maranello and taking a Look on the New Bugatti Factory nearby . What a great automotive People the northern italians are…and what unique Kind of Entrepreneures artioli, alessandro de Tomaso and enzo Ferrari had been.
Jay, love the fact that you did not fail to mention the Dodge Viper in this video ! 💪🏼
I did not expect this to be so thoroughly fascinating, having started knowing nothing about the car. Excellent episode.
I remember at the Chicago Auto Show - I still have the brochure - on display what was supposed to be the forthcoming EB110 SS America. It was going to turn the company around with US buyers, but never happened. It still looks and sounds magnificent.
I just want to say, thank you for this video !
love to watch Jay get out of the valley and go out to a canyon road looked like Little Tujunga. there are a lot of great canyon roads in So Cal my favorite is Bouquet Canyon.
Jay, any chance of getting your hands on a Vector W2 or W8 for an episode??
YES. Those are very cool looking . inside out
This Please
Now that I wanna see too
I've been waiting as well.
mimixownzall there was only one W2, so good luck on that, would kill for a W8 or for Gerry to bring by the WX3 twins for a review.
That’s a New One...I don’t have the car so I bought its Engine !! 😳 Jay really Love cars !! 😅
kragseven It’s really crazy !! Lol
The duct tape on the turbo turbine housings was a little much, would have expected some aluminum or plexi block off plates for something like that.
My favorite car growing up in the early 90s. Still love that blue color!
I wish I was the kind of car collector (or any kind of car collector for that matter) that has a new Bugatti quad turbo v12 sitting around on an engine stand to...um, just look at now and again. That engine / gearbox combo is stunning. This is still one of my favorite supercars of all time.
Hi Jay. Have you heard of the Edonis made by Italian company B. Engineering ? They created a car from leftover Bugatti EB 110 chassis and engines after the early 1990's bankruptcy of the factory as you know and the staff included several ex-factory Personnel. They ditched the EB 110 four-wheel drive and adding two large turbos in place of the four original units made for a truly Savage creation and the Edonis had the looks to match with a body seemingly constructed entirely out of cooling ducts. I had the privilege of driving one of these four years ago while in Italy and let me tell you it changed Direction like a Ferrari F40 with sublime Precision and beautifully judged feel. As I mentioned they had gotten rid of the four turbos and fitted two large IHI units and also increased the capacity of the original engine from 3.5 l to 3.8 l. This thing was an absolute animal. It would Ambush your senses and slap them silly. The company's target was to produce 21 cars approximately but no one knows if they ever achieved this according to the owner of the car which I had driven.
As many said, the history of this car is documented on Cironi's videos. Almost all the doubts they are having on this video are answered ha ha. Gandini was involved on body design, he doesn't think the car is beautiful, he distanced from the project dissatisfied/unhappy. For Jay all cars seem the most beautiful... Materazzi projected the engine, he thought 4 big turbos was too much (he solved the issue in the Edonis using only 2 turbos), he solved the integral traction they wanted to implement from 50-50% that they wanted (crazy too much in a sport car) to 27-73% front-rear traction split. He also distanced from the project dissatisfied/unhappy. Engineer Stanzani, one that started the proyect as leader or something like that, also got out and was replaced. Sadly this videos are getting a little boring, like made with a cookie cutter, many artsy shoots and they don't show the car details.
You do know that beauty is subjective right?
This car is so sick and so ahead from the time it was made. A truly masterpiece
Which moron invented the expression it’s so sick or this is sick . 😂
I've had the privilege of owning this model years ago I loved the winding noise .To be exact it was a VHS tape rewinder. But man it sounded good.
