When the Italian resurrection of Bugatti went belly-up (we know, whoever would"ve seen that coming?) the company"s engineers and designers thought, rightfully, it"d be a frightful waste of chassis, engines and expertise not yet combined to produce Bugatti"s four-wheel drive, quad-turbo, 600bhp riposte to the Jaguar XJ220 and Ferrari F40. So, they bandied together and spawned the bizarre B Engineering Edonis, which was rarer, lighter and two hundred per cent more dangerous, because of two things. Firstly, B Engineering removed the front driveshafts so it was only rear-wheel drive. Secondly, they binned the four small turbos and fitted two big"uns, lifting power to almost 700bhp. God bless the "90s. And Italian logic. Wonder why they"ve not had a crack at the same recipe with a Chiron. Anyone?
