Bugatti celebrates the legacy of the EB110 with La Maison Pur Sang.
The La Maison Pur Sang program, first established in 2020, is an authentication program dedicated to helping preserve the rich history of Bugatti’s incredible vehicles by providing customers with a comprehensive lifetime record, ensuring a vehicle’s value, and telling its rich story. This was the case for one of Bugatti’s rarest supercars, the EB110 America, which was just certified by La Maison Pur Sang for the first time as the result of a painstaking effort to trace the authenticity of the car by Bugatti’s specialist teams.
The EB110 America had characteristics of both the EB110 SS and the EB110 GT, offering the driver elevated performance and grand touring-ready comfort. To tell the full story of the specific example that was authenticated, Bugatti’s team found order records, servicing documents, road test certificates, assembly logs, and plenty of other documents that help ascertain its complete originality, including its chassis, bodywork, and cockpit. Its certification from La Maison Pur Sang is a badge of honor and a testament to its incredible heritage.
This specific example of the EB110 America was made as a development car for the model. It was brought to North America after being made in Campogalliano, Italy, to serve as a demonstrator. There, it earned the Concorso Italiano’s People’s Choice Award and appeared at the Chicago Auto Show in 1995. Its first independent owner was Romano Artioli, the man behind the Bugatti of the ‘90s.
Artioli elected to change the paintwork from Grigio Chiaro to Bugatti Blu in 2007, and the second owner, a UK collector, acquired the car in 2013. Then, it would go on to be showcased at events like Salon Privé, and it even made an appearance on The Grand Tour. More recently, the car’s third owner reunited it with Romano Artioli and brought it alongside the new Bugatti Centodieci, a limited-run hypercar inspired by the EB110. With its incredible story chronicled by La Maison Pur Sang, the EB110 America chassis SS025 has proof now that it’s one of Bugatti’s most stunning and storied creations.
