Bugatti EB110

The original Bugatti company was founded by Ettore Bugatti in 1909 and was best known for the sports and racing cars produced in the years between the two World Wars. After the death of Ettore Bugatti in 1947 only a few of the Type 101 Coupe models were produced and a Formula 1 racing car, the type 251, was built. This car started in only one race, the French Grand Prix of 1956, but retired after 18 laps, and is now in the National Motor Museum of France, better known as the Schlumpf Collection, in Mulhouse. The original Bugatti company closed in 1962, but the name was revived in 1987 as Bugatti Automobili SpA by the Italian Romano Artioli. This company ceased operations in 1995 and three years later was acquired by Volkswagen AG, who went on, under the name of Bugatti Automobiles SAS, to produce the Bugatti Veyron in 2005. Romano Artioli's company had, in 1991, produced the EB110 model, and the photograph below is of one of these cars pictured at the 1993 Coys International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone.

Michael Schumacher apparently owned one of these cars from 1994 to 2003.
