The Bugatti EB110 Was A Quad-Turbo, V-12 Greek Tragedy - Revelations with Jason Cammisa

- Опубликовано: 3 апр 2024
- This is the History of the Bugatti EB110 - the perfect 1990s supercar. It had a carbon tub, four-wheel drive, Gandini styling, Billionaire Doors, and a mid-mounted bespoke V-12 with four turbos. And yet it all ended in tears. What happened?

Bugatti, the company, was dead for decades before it was resurrected in the late 1980s to produce the world's best supercar. And the world's most incredible factory.
Having moved the company from Molsheim, France, to Campogalliano, Italy, owner Romano Artioli had access to the dream team of Italian engineers responsible for the hottest Ferrari and Lamborghini supercars.

When those turbos kicked in, it looked legitimately terrifying.
I wonder what it would be like with modern turbos which spin up a lot quicker.
Probably a lot more drivable, yeah
@@cozza819alot more boring haha
It was the Millenium bloody Falcon.
@@Mr.Marbles Well, if you still want the lag, slap a bigger modern turbo which will make stupid power. Obviously this would never be done.
That 5k RPM blast is hilarious! The shaky cam really sells the shock value.
That made MY bum go squeak! I can't imagine how tight things got in the actual car...
Catching that boost mid-corner would be exciting.....
@@jimiverson3085... in the worst possible way 😱
Thank god they made it awd
@@Smilingpolitely553 That thing would be a death trap. Had no-one figured out sequential Turbos yet? I thought the supra had sequential Turbos back in the mid 90s.
Could have had 2 low rpm small turbos feeding the 2 big ones at 5k?
Crazy car and one that is pretty obscure compared to others of it's era.
Luv and Peace.
Edit: Just thinking back it may have been the Nissan 300zx that had sequential twin turbos???
I had a conversation with Mr.Artioli , his wife and Elisa in 2020 , where he told his story and presented his book and named the adversaries . The story was interesting and frustrating at the same time, because he and his family still felt bad . This was Artioli’s dream since he was young and he did it a charming way . A lot of ideas and approaches : quad turbo , full wheel drive , active wing , branded accessories and lots of more . He was able to create from zero (resurrect) a company with great legacy, created a team of talented individuals to create a vehicle that would compete in the premier league between the top speed and well known manufacturers and car models .
Could be the most relevant and revealing comment here, if true, yet barely acknowledged...updooting
So is Yamaha just casually involved in all the greatest automotive stories
Yamaha literally makes everything lol
Yes
Usually
First one with crossplane in twin bikes. Now everybody does it. Uneven firing order in four cylinder engines. Not everybody does it but they hold on to it.
Yamaha built the engine in the Noble M600. In the Volvo XC90 it made 232kW, when Yamaha built it that figure went up to 485kW.
You know it's a solid day when a V12, Bugatti, and Mr. Cammisa are all in the same video. That's Revelations for you!
And psychedelics.
was it randy ?
The best show on RUclips. I would listen to Jason recite the encyclopedia.
AI can make that happen.
Ikr
@@AI.Overlord.X No AI needed. I'll set up a Patreon immediately! :P
Nah he's too animated
@@JasonCammisa I'd subscribe to that
The friend of mine, back then as one of two journalist from our country, was present at that ceremonial launch in Paris. I love to hear the story almost every time while visiting him. He also still keeps that showed bottle of wine, that was served at the gala-dinner, as a souvenir. What a moment to become part of it had to be back then...
When I was a little kid, I had this tiny little paperback book called Supercars that for in the beginning of my automobile obsession. It had a lot of weird stuff in it- the Panther Solo, the Lister Storm, the Venturi Atlantique, but the EB 110 literally left off the page for me. I just thought it was the coolest thing in the world. 25 years later, I still do.
That book was in my school’s library! I remember it had an AC 428, the Dodge Charger Daytona, and the Ferrari F40. It had such an eclectic collection of cars!
Its a special car.
Without it there qould be no enzo ,maybe no f50, no veyron.
No mc12, or even maybe the diablo
Up until this came out? Aside from the f40?
Which wasnt really a road car at all.
Supercars were so stagnant.
Not to mention the xj220, gt90 etc etc.
Special car...
Right
@@deadprivacy why would there be none of those without this car? This isn’t the space race of the 60s. Bugatti didn’t invent the microwave with this car.. it is a wonderful car but let’s not act like it revolutionized car design
@@nuggert you have ferrari producing the f40 which is a racecar ,you have lamborghini selling the diablo which is isnt a road car really and notich of a racecar.
The design ethos of this thing?
Combining real cutting edge race tech in a car very much deisgned for the road and mass production.
We get the xj220 after this too in the same vein.
Its a very special car, bit crap but very special.
I probably replayed the final minute of this episode at least 6 times, listening to the intensity of that turbo spool is incredible.
Assolutamente. 💯 🇮🇹
Me too….
its behaves like those 1L downsizing turbo engines, where all the power comes only from the turbos. only that instead of suddenly getting 100 hp you get 550 haha
Same
I would love to have a lot more about the actual feel of the car for all of us who will never drive one!
All jokes aside.. This is my favorite series on RUclips.. The content.. Camissa... The writing.. Hagerty has struck the perfect balance. And I get so excited when I see a new episode pop up in my feed... Such great story telling about the EB 110!!!
It's definitely up there. 👍 Never fails to entertain and informative. Most of this Bugatti stuff many car guys already know but the delivery and weird details make it fresh. That's special.
Love the delivery. Clarkson managed to be as intriguing as a storyteller for a few minutes every now and then, but certainly not through a ~20 min episode.
Are you joking? Or did you put the jokes aside??
Yes I just watch it see his hilarious but we'll put together story even if I don't like the car like this one.
Yup. It's perfection.
I'm glad this car is getting some spotlight. I feel like nobody knew Bugatti existed before the Veyron. I had an EB110 model car and loved it. Still my dream car.
Thank you so much for the drive at the end with no voiceover. Great to be able to hear the sound of that rare and unusual engine! And, a great video overall, as usual!
I never get tired of being impressed by this channel's production and the narration from this guy, this is by far the best car show on all of RUclips.
When you combine a car guy with a theatre kid...you get Jason Cammisa, and THATS WHY HES THE BEST!
+engineer
+lawyer
Yeah, the dancing matahari with a candelabra segment was disturbing, but, all in all, Great job Adam!!😁
A true fanook as the Italians would say.
also an S-tier journalist. I really can’t think of any other journalist with his combination of knowledge, passion, incredible attention to detail, top-notch well-researched facts, presentation style, physical comedy, leadership, creativity, production vision, etc etc…
Dude should be a clinic for any journalism school.
He's great, can easily carry the whole channel
When I was a kid in the 90s I was in Casino Square in Monaco and a yellow one of these was parked on the street next to a red Dodge Viper. Even as a kid I knew what I was looking at and was blown away by this rare car. It was like a scene from Need for Speed. I still remember the owner must have driven it in the night before because the front was covered in bugs. I was really into photography at the time and still have the 35mm photos I took in an envelope.
Please post them online! There aren't many period pics of this car available.
@@pdcichosz I'll have to dig them up, but I'll do it and post a link here. Also its kind of a long shot, but I just realized Schumacher's EB110 was also yellow. What are the chances it was his? Hopefully I can see some identifying features in the photos.
@@andrewb325 There was only a handful of yellow 110SS models do I'd say pretty high ;) Especially that it was in Monaco and the and the car looked daily driven. I checked and that exact one had a more luxurious interior from the GT and 'KEB110' plate when Schumi was the owner, look for these clues;)
@@andrewb325 I noticed that Schumacher's had distinctive vents aft of the door-windows, but all the cars that were finished in one solid colour may have had that feature!
Looking forward to the pics!
The chatting, the knowledge, old footage and finally the end scene POV. This is just the perfect formula for a perfect video
The noise is something else; it's a mix of wind turbine and SCREAMING V12. I've never heard anything like this before where the lows are so muffled but the highs are so vocal.
Kind of a good synopsis of the entire situation, ngl. Reminds me that Jay Leno owns a Bugatti V12 after the company went bust he never put into anything.
Jason Cammisa is an amazing storyteller. I followed his work for quite a while he has an amazing knowledge about cars , I would love to have this guy as a neighbor.
Then he could tell you all about his van Gynah.
Every single time a new Revelations comes out I stop doing what I'm doing and watch it - It's genuinely the best produced and presented RUclips series, Jason deserves a raise and I wish every single channel was as well edited as this one
18:00 Oh my GOD, watching it CLING to the road at obscene speeds as it corners is just amazing. Also, that turbo-cut-in point was just shocking amounts of additional power. It was almost like a rocket, and the SOUND of that motor was a delight..!
Oh my God! The bit at 7:05 had me dying. Your videos are becoming more and more like an excellent Hollywood production, and I love it. Keep it up!
I almost cried from laughing at this bit. He is so crazy lol
I still have my Matchbox EB110 from when I was a kid Very cool!
OMG! 17:32 onwards is pure goosebumps! It sounds so, so, sooooooo good!!! Replayed that last bit dozens of times. The drivetrain is a mechanical symphony!!
Jason, you sir make the best videos bar none!!! Thank you for the incredible video production genius you share with us here on RUclips!!
Here in Munich Bavaria we have a Collector who owns 5 of them. There is a German Car Show that visited him and he basically says in it that he also regularly drives all of them and just fell in Love with it back in the 1990s.
Prost & Cheers from Berchtesgaden in the Bavarian Alps
Can we get a 6hr edit of that driving sequence at the end?
The whole Revelations playlist is amazing, thank you Jason and team ! Keep them coming please
What the (car)world needs is Jason Cammisa(s)
All his videos are equally informative as well as doused with humor, best car reviewer out there imho 👍🏼
LOL I can’t with the flame scene 💀😂
Jason camissa needs an Emmy award for this series
Nobody does it better than Jason Cammisa.
I have been binge watching these episodes lately. Best car show on RUclips for sure! Informative, professional, casual joke here and there and yet not boring. Love the drive at the end always too!
Jason, that is, as usual, terrific.
Why on earth are your videos so rare?
Man I love this series. Never Stop Making them.
New Revelations episode means nothing can ruin this day. Thank you Jason!!
Props to Jason for being one of the best automotive journalists out there but also to whoever edits these videos. They have to be the highest quality automotive videos on RUclips, brilliant!
This series is consistently great! Keep the awesome work Jason and Hagerty Team!
Great episode, as always! Very nice story, too! You have the enthusiasm that could spin the entire world. What a passion! The delivery of the video and product is also amazing and strikes an excellent balance between super production and reality, making it a joy to watch!
What an emotional rollercoaster this was, and the drive at the end with Turbo bomb 💀💀
Great video once again! Thanks Jason and Hagerty!
god , can someone please give this man the job to revive the top gear show
Please no, Jason is Jason and hes doing just fine.
I feel like Top Gear should have ended with the captain slow, hamster and jezza. It's like watching the new Ghostbusters...just let it die with dignity. Loll
No needs..
@@Tuberuser187 What Jason needs is Top Gear budget to make even more and grater productions.
I would prefer it being a Hagerty Driver's show with Jason and Henry, and another guy on long road trips around the world.
Jason/Hagerty you all are beginning to turn Thursdays into Fridays!!! I haven't even watched it but I've already jammed the like button. I wonder if Jason squeezed in a VW or a Scirocco reference.
Ha, not this time. Darn it, missed opportunity!
which is especially amusing as the one who actually saved Bugatti is... the VW Group themselves and the equally mad man behind them all, one guy named Ferdinand Piëch (maybe you have heard of him).
It's Friday morning here! Roll on the weekend this is gonna be a good day
@@sx4mania35 yes sir exactly, that's why I said it.
One of my favorites. Thank you Hagerty for sponsoring this video. Jason is a fantastic presenter.
That ending was absolutely insane. I could listen to that for hours.
Was just catching up on some missed Revelations episodes, then I see this in my notifications. I am a very lucky man.
Always loved the EB110, there's just something cool about it.
The EB110 has always been a favourite of mine, great video for a great car.
Just wanted to drop a huge thank you to the Hagerty team and Jason for another fantastic video! Seriously, I could watch these on a single breath, they’re that captivating.
Jason, your stories are always amazing, can't stop looking at them. Thanks !
Jason Camissa is by far the best car journalist out there! Mat Watson and the Throttle House guys are great as well - humorous and informative, but no-one does storytelling as good as Jason C!
Throttle house isn't remotely in the same league. It's like comparing teenage shenanigans with Monty Python.
The factory was really a masterpiece too
Jason. I thoroughly enjoyed joy all your videos. You always make my day. I’ve been following your for years and your enthusiasm and charm has no match.
Thank you !
What an amazing machine, so far ahead of it's time. It'll forever be one of the best.
I will always love the EB110, for all it's flaws; it's heart was 100% true blue Bugatti. I mean literally, that drivetrain of the EB110 makes the McLaren F1's superb custom BMW V12; look like a crate job.
@@anasevi9456 100% agree, it was a true Bugatti and paid respects to what originally made the company great.
I love the performer that is Cammisa.
I am not a car person.
I am not middle aged (not even close)
But man, do I love hearing about cars from Jason. Overproduced? Pshhht! Why do you think I'm here?
Yeah, I always get a little lost when he gets to the "engine mumbo jumbo" part, but he even manages to make that entertaining 😂
Never.Stop.Producing stuff like this, Jason. It's light in a sea of darkness.
These episodes are interesting and very informative. Thanks, Jason and others.
I wish Cammisa would do the entirety of his shows in one of his mock accents. He's got the French and German down. Parfait!
Poisson!
as a French person, I agree :D
Amazing work Camissa and co! Love this series
THANK YOU for including the POV with pure sound and completely without distracting music
Hagerty is so underrated imop
How can insurance be underrated?
@@MH-ev3wr I meant the content that they produce
They have 3M subs...
@@hank1556 I meant the amount of views they got compared to the amount of effort they put into each video
Besides Etoire Bugatti being Italian, there is one more interesting thing to note about the "French" origins of Bugatti. Etoire actually lived in Germany and the town of Molsheim was also part of Germany when Bugatti started his company there in 1909. So in fact, the company originally wasn't French nor Italian, but German. It wasn't until after the first world war that the town, and with it Bugatti, became French. So when Volkswagen took Bugatti under their wings after the Italian escapades of the 90's it was like coming full circle for the company.
Ettore, please, Ettore
Ettore, please, Ettore
The production quality of this video is simply astounding! Mad props to everyone who made this!
Awesome video. I love how much I learn about these special cars through these videos.
Just a touch of turbo lag….😂
I remember owning a 118 as a kid. I didn't really see or understand the beauty in this car so I donated it. Now that I'm a grown up this is my ultimate dream car knowing the story and how it checks every single box
no way you owned one as a kid
@@tanay_21real I believe he's talkin about a 1:18 scale model. Coincidentally, finding a 1:18 scale model of the EB110 today is quite difficult, especially the highly detailed true to scale ones.
@@rahulsudhir666 There's a still relatively new and relatively avaialble 110 and 110SS from Autoart.
I'm far from being a kid but I still don't see nor uderstand the beauty in this car 😅
The test drive at the end is fantastic!
Jason's Video comes up, I click, simple man I am.😅
Wow!! I wasn't that into the story until I heard the sound of that glorious engine!!!!
Simply, and quickly, this became one of my favorite car series with its in-depth story telling and the true car enthusiastic spirit of Jason Cammisa. Eagerly waiting on the next Revelations episode!
Thank you Jason, one of the best show on yt
I enjoy watching Jason. However, he is wrong. I think Larry David could win an Academy award for what happens standing in line at Home Depot.
I had one in 1/18 Scale blue, Bburago
I still have my 1/24, same blue
Legit just bought a Bburago blue model yesterday 🤣
Had two a yellow and a blue one . Buragos too.
i have one silver hot wheels lol
Wow!! Excellent history and much much appreciated 👍🇮🇹
Thanks Jason (and Anthony)
First and foremost, thank you Jason and Anthony. These videos are seriously a highlight when they come out. The humor, the history-just everything. What a great story…well done. And then the sound of that car. My goodness.
CDO is OCD in alphabetical order, as it should be. Great quote.
1:52 BIG MISTAKE. Ettore Bugatti was born, raised and educated and started his career in ITALY, in a completely ITALIAN family. The Bugatti TIPO 1 and Tipo2 where built in ITALY and even used pirelli tires. So, it's fair to say BUGATTI IS AN ITALIAN BRAND AND CAR MAKER at inception NOT FRENCH ...love your channel and your style...
All irrelevant. It's German twice. French once. Why'd you think they raced in blue?
@@bentucker2301 Now Croatian 😁
@@bentucker2301 actually your comment is irrelevant
The man is Italian. It has nothing to do with the company. It was founded in France. Did Germany go to the moon?
@@bentucker2301 Bugatti was an Italian brand before Molsheim, from the Bugatti Type 1 to the Bugatti Type 10, all were made in Italy, with which Ettore Bugatti competed in Italian races, even winning three of them. It was only later that he founded the company in Molsheim, which was part of Germany, but the territory became French after World War II.If Germany were to conquer Paris, would the croissant then become a German delicacy? (because the croissant Born in Paris) Up to today, Bugatti has been Italian twice, German twice, and French once. To say that it is a French brand is conceptually incorrect given its history. Obviously, its glory primarily came from its French era, but this does not make the brand French, considering France contributed the least to the growth of this company. The style of the cars was Italian, the factory was built by the Germans, and the workforce was French. I believe that among all these characteristics, the first two are more important.
Love the videos man, keep up the good work
Thank you for another great video!!!
Do more, more often!! Please, they are great!!!
I think Jason Camissa is the closest thing you will see to prime Jeremy Clarkson today- he may have even surpassed him.
Thanks Jay, for another thoroughly entertaining and enlightening story! You never seem to disappoint. ❤💯😎
Awesome show, thanks for the great content!
Another masterpiece from Jason and his team, I learned a lot from this often forgotten supercar. Thanks !
Those turbos sound so good in the final drive segment.
One of the absolute best videos of the series!
Awesome piece. I've always loved the EB110 from it's styling and history. I've NEVER heard it run through the gears until today! Thank you for that. Music to my ears!
I wish Jason had a video for each classic car that ever existed! That's a wow and goosebumps everytime.
I had the pleasure of being allowed to drive an EB110 SS when I was younger.... One of the things that still mesmerizes me, is the throttle bodies' linkage... just absolutely love it.
Another fantastic episode by Jason and the crew. Very well done.
I really appreciate these videos. It is hard to blend educational value with entertainment and you guys are doing it.
Wish that final section of the drive was longer. That thing sounds insane, definitely deserved a longer segment
Thanks Jason! Great work
Brilliant! What a great story and glimpse into tenacity, history and sheer determination.
This is the best car show as of now. Love how creative, fun and intriguing to watch it is!
Probably the best intro for the Bugatti EB110🔥🔥
I've always loved this car. The sound at the end is incredibly addictive. Great stuff for sure
Cammisa, thanks for being unapologetically you. You make me feel like I can be proud of my own whackiness. Thanks bro!🎉
Well done Hagerty. This was a beautiful documentary.
Amazing content as always!!!
Nothing like coming home from a bad day at work and seeing a new Cammisa video dropped. 👍
I love that you end it with the raw sound of the cars.
With Hagerty’s production budget and Jason’s hosting ability you have some of the best produced automotive content on RUclips. I loved watching Johnny and Jason on motortrend back in the day but Jason’s hard work has really paid off
