The original Bugatti EB110 debuted on September 15th, 1991 – the date of company founder Ettore Bugatti’s 110th birthday. But it wasn’t until almost a year later that Bugatti unleashed the full potential of the EB 110’s quad-turbocharged 3.5-liter V12. The 603-horsepower (449-kilowatt) EB110 Super Sport (or, SS) showed face for the first time at the 1992 Geneva Motor Show.
From a standstill, the EB110 SS could sprint to 62 miles per hour (100 kilometers per hour) in 3.2 seconds. Flat out, it would continue on to a top speed of 221 mph (355 kmh). The McLaren F1, with its 231 mph (372 km/h) top speed, was technically faster, but the EB 110 SS remained in the top speed record conversation. And it received some much-needed celebrity backing later in life.
