Get ready to witness the auction of a rare piece of automotive history A 1994 Bugatti EB110 GT is set to go under the hammer by Bonhams, with estimates ranging from $1,450,000 to $1,650,000. This supercar boasts a stunning Grigio Chiaro exterior with a Grigio Scuro leather interior, complete with blue accents and a bespoke audio system. It was originally ordered for the German market and has been meticulously maintained in its original condition. The EB110’s performance is equally impressive, with a top speed of 212 mph, rivaling the Jaguar XJ220.
So, what makes this EB110 so special? For starters, it’s a testament to Bugatti’s resurgence and the vision of Romano Artioli. The car’s design and engineering laid the groundwork for future Bugatti models like the Veyron. With its rarity and historical significance, this EB110 is a dream catch for any supercar enthusiast.
As we watch this iconic car go up for auction, it’s a great time to reflect on the broader world of car auctions. In 2025, auction houses like RM Sotheby’s have seen top prices for vintage cars, with models like the 1954 Mercedes-Benz W196R Streamliner F1 fetching over $53 million at auction. This Bugatti EB110, while not reaching those astronomical figures, still represents a significant piece of automotive history.
The car is one of the features of the Bonham’s The Miami Auction which will also feature a 2009 Brawn BGP001 Formula 1 Single Seater, a 1956 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing Coupe, and a 2019 Ford GT Carbon Series as headline acts.
Context & Background
The Bugatti EB110 is a legendary supercar, born from the revival of the Bugatti marque by Italian entrepreneur Romano Artioli in 1987. Designed by Paolo Stanzani and Marcello Gandini, the EB110 features a carbon fiber chassis, four-wheel drive, and a powerful 3.5L quad-turbo V12 engine. Despite excellent performance, Bugatti faced economic challenges and bankruptcy in 1994, leading to the production of fewer than 140 EB110s. This rarity has made the EB110 a highly sought-after collector’s item.
