Word about the internet is Bugatti could be prepping a secret, limited-edition special inspired by one of the most enigmatic supercars ever. The grandfather of the Chiron: the Bugatti EB110. The strange- Bugatti EB110 was revealed way back in 1991, to celebrate the 110th anniversary of the birth of company founder Ettore Bugatti hence the name. It arrived amid the early Nineties gold rush of supercars. What a time to be alive.Those were the days of the Jaguar XJ220, McLaren F1, and Lamborghini Diablo. It lasted a few years, then Bugatti went bust amid the recession. The brand was bought by the VW Group with an idea for a 1,000bhp supercar, and well, the rest is history.But if 1991 was a bit before your time, that"s pretty much ancient history. Allow us to educate you about why the EB110 was a lot more important that you might think and why it deserves a 21st Century reboot
