1997 bought Jochen period, holders of permanent racing, on the estate of the company. These included unfinished vehicles and a large pool of spare parts and tools for production and maintenance of the last stage of development of the Bugatti EB 110 Since the naming rights went to Bugatti at the Volkswagen Group, the vehicle was technically more advanced than duration EB 110 SS, with However, the body remained unchanged.

The doors will not open as in conventional vehicles, they vibrate when you open vertically upwards. An automatically extending rear spoiler at higher speeds for the necessary downforce on the rear axle, without the appearance of the vehicle at standstill or when driving slowly disturbing. The drag coefficient (Cd ) is 0.35.
The wheels (BBS cast magnesium rims, front, 9 J x 18, rear 12 J x 18) are suspended on double wishbones, front with simple, rear with double spring / damper units; Front and rear stabilizers. The all-round ventilated disc brakes have a diameter of 322 mm.

Performance
Due to the different engine types and different vehicle weight, the models EB 110 GT and EB 110 SS differ in the performance.
The EB 110 GT with a vehicle weight of 1620 kg and an engine output of 411 kW accelerates in 3.49 seconds from zero to 100 km / h and reaches a top speed of 342 km / h during the EB 110 SS with a curb weight of 1570 kg and an engine power of 450 kW for the acceleration from zero to 100 km / h only takes 3.26 seconds and reaches a top speed of 351 km / h. Thus, the EB 110 was loud Bugatti the fastest at the time, mass-produced car in the world, before it was surpassed by the equally legendary McLaren F1.
A special form is here again, the export model of the EB 110 SS for the U.S. market dar. With a vehicle weight, which require per 1630-1735 KG has is the acceleration from zero to 100 km / h approx 3.4 seconds, top speed achieved this export variant at about 345 km / h
The average consumption of the EB 110 is 27 to 30 l/100 km. The EB 110 SS used according to the manufacturer 10,9 l/100 km analyzed under constant speed of 90 km / h or 13.5 l/100 km at a constant speed of 120 km / h At top speed, it is about 1 liter of Super Plus per kilometer.
