@@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???
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.
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 .
He was passionate, alright, but according to Stanzani and Nicola Materazzi (may he rest in peace), he was tough, micromanaging many of the car's aspects. Which is why Stanzani left, mid-development, and Materazzi as well, after he modified the torque-split of the AWD system. But still, it took determination to do what he did, and we owe both the EB110 and the Lotus Elise to him. So, Hats off to you, Signore Artioli.
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...
@@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.
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
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.
@@16BitOG I found this video precisely because I was dusting off my eb110 car model from Burago. My father gave it to me as a present he brought from France in 1995 and it started my passion for cars back then, as a kid. Unforgettable times.
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.
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
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...
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!!
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!
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.
For those of us who grew up in the 90’s this was the one that put Bugatti into our cultural lexicon as some mythical monster made down the road from the Ferraris and Lambos which was faster than they were but we weren’t cool or rich enough to ever get to see in person because it was “more exclusive” than even those.
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.
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..!
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

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.
@@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!
Fun fact! Fiat 128 engine had a 55.5mm stroke, making it a better contender for the shortest stroke in a production car ever. It also came in a 1302cc variant with an 86.4mm bore, making it even more oversquare than the insane EB110 engine. #TheMoreYouKnow
The EB110 and the F40 were my favourite cars as a child. They still make me weak at the knees. Back when it felt like super cars had passion interwoven into their existence. I can't think of any cars that are as charismatic as those of the super cars of this era.
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!
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!
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
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.
Jason’s theatre style of presenting, combined with exceptional knowledge in general, makes every REVelations & other videos he presents worthy of an Emmy ❤👏🇿🇦
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!
The EB110 and XJ220 might have been the biggest rivalry in early-hypercar history if not for the F1's crushing top speed dominance mooting the discussion before it really got rolling. Definitely not the same but I did appreciate the homage that Bugatti did with they Chiron-derivative for the EB110, it was a nice nod to a weird, but interesting chapter in the brand's history.
What makes Jason Cammisa and these Hagerty videos so good is the content…the ability to take boring history and make it so entertaining is the magic of these videos! Huge props to Cammisa and Hagerty but let’s not forget all the producers and supporting staff that make all of this come together.
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.
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.
When I was a teenager, the textile firm my dad worked at as director won the contract for the whole Bugatti clothing range, through Ermenegildo Zegna's brand, which is super-high-end stuff. I was lucky enough to be gifted with the full set of pullovers and a double coat I wore for years. I wish I still had these, they'd be worth a fortune! Amazing car and the history of the Artioli Bugatti is so fascinating.
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.
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).
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.
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
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.
BRAVO! BRAVO! I was fortunate enough to import many many different supercars from 2000 - 2003 under the then new Show & Display law and the EB110 SS was my absolute favorite. We literally had rows of 959's and XJ220's and Mclaren F's but this one always made me giggle the most. Thank you for the wonderful storytelling and the trip down memory lane!
Omg, that driving cut at the end was simply invigorating. I don’t mind turbo lag when I can feel myself being pushed into the seat through a RUclips video. The engine sounds amazing too, reminds me of a huge single turbo Supra or something. That’s simply stellar, I’d to anything to be the driver of that car on those kinda roads. 😳
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?
Jason Cammisa's commentary is second to none. He wasn't even on my radar until the Cyber truck review, but I've watched the entire back catalogue since
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...
@@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.
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.
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 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.
I remember reading all about the rebirth of Bugatti, the amazing facilities, the lavish parties, and everyone wondering where the money was coming from. In C&D back in the day, journalists often wondered if the pace of spending was sustainable. And of course, these were all valid concerns when it all fell apart. It interesting to consider that Romano Artioli was the cause if Bugatti's failure, but also the only person who could have made it happen.
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
@@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.
I had the chance to experience a 2nd gear pull in a Dauer EB110 S in Paris one day. The car was SO SLOW, until the boost kicked in and the acceleration was so vigorous that I didn’t have any blood left in my legs. They felt numb the rest of the day
I was still a high school kid when this came about. There was to be one at the Vancouver Intl. Auto Show ... but somebody crashed it. But my memory is foggy, I think that what I saw at the show when I attended was a replica.
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!
"it's timing was gear driven, something you never see outside of racing" except for the ubiquitous and long-lived ford 300CI I6 used in every gardener's truck for 50 years
Don't know if it is Camissa or other guys who write the script, but Hagerty channel has a fantastic story telling and Camissa is the perfect presenter. I am not even a car guy (sure I like a nice car, by al means) and I love this channel.
5 minutes well spent. I was completely lost in this story, with no sense of time. To my biggest surprise this was an almost 20 minute long video... Thanks for the experience Jason! :D
Volvo B18 and B20, 5th generation Honda VFR, and Ferrari Enzo are all examples of street going cars with gear driven cams...I had a 1998 VFR, the whine from those gears was one of my favorite things about that bike. Which is a hard contest when that V4 engine sounded like the god of thunder and the ride was so smooth and forgiving.
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???
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.
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.
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 .

He was passionate, alright, but according to Stanzani and Nicola Materazzi (may he rest in peace), he was tough, micromanaging many of the car's aspects.

Definitely not the same but I did appreciate the homage that Bugatti did with they Chiron-derivative for the EB110, it was a nice nod to a weird, but interesting chapter in the brand's history.
The chatting, the knowledge, old footage and finally the end scene POV. This is just the perfect formula for a perfect video
What makes Jason Cammisa and these Hagerty videos so good is the content…the ability to take boring history and make it so entertaining is the magic of these videos! Huge props to Cammisa and Hagerty but let’s not forget all the producers and supporting staff that make all of this come together.
Can we get a 6hr edit of that driving sequence at the end?
The factory was really a masterpiece too
Jason, that is, as usual, terrific.
Why on earth are your videos so rare?
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.
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.
Wish that final section of the drive was longer. That thing sounds insane, definitely deserved a longer segment
Jason, you sir make the best videos bar none!!! Thank you for the incredible video production genius you share with us here on RUclips!!
When I was a teenager, the textile firm my dad worked at as director won the contract for the whole Bugatti clothing range, through Ermenegildo Zegna's brand, which is super-high-end stuff. I was lucky enough to be gifted with the full set of pullovers and a double coat I wore for years. I wish I still had these, they'd be worth a fortune! Amazing car and the history of the Artioli Bugatti is so fascinating.
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.
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.
This series is consistently great! Keep the awesome work Jason and Hagerty Team!
New Revelations episode means nothing can ruin this day. Thank you Jason!!
Man I love this series. Never Stop Making them.
Only me that just got emotional with how spectacular that driving sequence was? The sound, the sight. Ouah!
LOL I can’t with the flame scene 💀😂
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
The EB 110 was the first model car I built as a young kid,
Hahah! Same for me, mine was yellow color (like Schumacher one was)
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.
The EB110 has always been a favourite of mine, great video for a great car.
BRAVO! BRAVO! I was fortunate enough to import many many different supercars from 2000 - 2003 under the then new Show & Display law and the EB110 SS was my absolute favorite. We literally had rows of 959's and XJ220's and Mclaren F's but this one always made me giggle the most. Thank you for the wonderful storytelling and the trip down memory lane!
Nobody does it better than Jason Cammisa.
Omg, that driving cut at the end was simply invigorating. I don’t mind turbo lag when I can feel myself being pushed into the seat through a RUclips video. The engine sounds amazing too, reminds me of a huge single turbo Supra or something.
That’s simply stellar, I’d to anything to be the driver of that car on those kinda roads. 😳
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 😂
Jason Cammisa's commentary is second to none. He wasn't even on my radar until the Cyber truck review, but I've watched the entire back catalogue since
The whole Revelations playlist is amazing, thank you Jason and team ! Keep them coming please
No way this video was just shy of 20 minutes in length, because by the time it ended I was thinking "It's over?"
Bravo Signore Cammisa 👏
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 love the EB110 SO MUCH. It was my childhood poster car (although I never had a poster of it).
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.
I just love the shifting sounds …perfect orchestra!
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
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!
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 remember reading all about the rebirth of Bugatti, the amazing facilities, the lavish parties, and everyone wondering where the money was coming from. In C&D back in the day, journalists often wondered if the pace of spending was sustainable. And of course, these were all valid concerns when it all fell apart. It interesting to consider that Romano Artioli was the cause if Bugatti's failure, but also the only person who could have made it happen.
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 😅
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 👍🏼
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
I had the chance to experience a 2nd gear pull in a Dauer EB110 S in Paris one day. The car was SO SLOW, until the boost kicked in and the acceleration was so vigorous that I didn’t have any blood left in my legs. They felt numb the rest of the day
Jason's Video comes up, I click, simple man I am.😅
Hagerty should pay this man more money, Cammisa is the GOAT. If you're reading this let's do more Bugatti stories, surely there are plenty!
Jason camissa needs an Emmy award for this series
I was still a high school kid when this came about. There was to be one at the Vancouver Intl. Auto Show ... but somebody crashed it. But my memory is foggy, I think that what I saw at the show when I attended was a replica.
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
As somone who works in auto industry, I love the unique type of content you are creating
Wow!! I wasn't that into the story until I heard the sound of that glorious engine!!!!
I’ve been absolutely in love with the EB110 since it’s debut. What a beautiful, beautiful car.
CDO is OCD in alphabetical order, as it should be. Great quote.
I think Jason Camissa is the closest thing you will see to prime Jeremy Clarkson today- he may have even surpassed him.
THANK YOU for including the POV with pure sound and completely without distracting music
Just a touch of turbo lag….😂
My jaw dropped when the gear driven cams and the integrated transmission popped up on screen. I never knew. Incredible.
Romano Artioli is the bravest warrior of recent automotive history! Bravo maestro!
2 things.
#1 Best automotive content creators in the game.
#2 underrated af.
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!
I really appreciate these videos. It is hard to blend educational value with entertainment and you guys are doing it.
"it's timing was gear driven, something you never see outside of racing"
except for the ubiquitous and long-lived ford 300CI I6 used in every gardener's truck for 50 years
I just stumbled on this channel and everything with Jason is gold, outside of the Top Gear trio don't know if anyone has done better.
Amazing episode as always. XJ220 next please 🙏
Don't know if it is Camissa or other guys who write the script, but Hagerty channel has a fantastic story telling and Camissa is the perfect presenter. I am not even a car guy (sure I like a nice car, by al means) and I love this channel.
I LOVE HOW HE GRABS THE STEERING WHEEL WITH BOTH HANDS WHEN THE TURBO’S KICKED IN AT 5000 RPM! Give Jason a raise!!
14:00 those electric window switches are parts bin 70's-80's BMW switches, from E28, E24 and E30.
5 minutes well spent. I was completely lost in this story, with no sense of time. To my biggest surprise this was an almost 20 minute long video... Thanks for the experience Jason! :D
One of my favorites. Thank you Hagerty for sponsoring this video. Jason is a fantastic presenter.
Volvo B18 and B20, 5th generation Honda VFR, and Ferrari Enzo are all examples of street going cars with gear driven cams...I had a 1998 VFR, the whine from those gears was one of my favorite things about that bike. Which is a hard contest when that V4 engine sounded like the god of thunder and the ride was so smooth and forgiving.
