Bugatti- A brand of Superlatives

Bugatti has claimed many world records over the past 30 years

Extraordinary vehicles with extravagant design. Paired with an unimaginable amount of power and very high speeds. Bugatti has been at the pinnacle of automotive engineering for 110 years. With the current world record of the Chiron Super Sport 300+, the first car ever to reach a speed of over 300 miles per hour at 304.773 mph (490.484 km/h), Bugatti is once again underlining its technically outstanding performance. And not for the first time. A look back at recent history demonstrates that Bugatti has continued to set world records.

“Since being established 110 years ago Bugatti has been linked to technically extraordinary, very powerful and fast vehicles and quite rightly so. Bugatti vehicles have set several records in the past 30 years alone and we are proud of that,” explains Stephan Winkelmann, President of Bugatti. A brief overview:

The Bugatti EB110 was the fastest supersports car in the 1990s

At the beginning of the 1990s, Artioli Romani created the first modern supersports car with the Bugatti EB110 that paved the way for the hypersports cars of the 2000s: all-wheel drive, four turbochargers and a carbon-fibre monocoque. In combination with powerful engines, Bugatti squeezed out everything that was technically possible. The EB110 features a 3.5-litre V12 mid engine with five valves per combustion chamber located behind the driver and, depending on the model and development stage, the output generated is between 560 PS in the GT and 610 PS in the Supersport (SS). The ingredients for numerous world records for series production vehicles:

EB110 GT

•           Best acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h: 3.46 seconds, May 1992

•           Best acceleration over 400 metres: 11.4 seconds, May 1992

•           Best acceleration over 1,000 metres: 20.7 seconds, to 259.7 km/h, May 1992

•           Best top speed: 342 km/h, May 1992
