This Bugatti EB110-based supercar is finally nearing production, but it doesn’t look like a Bugatti

The Bugatti EB110 is coming back, but not in the way you think. An American outfit called Casil Motors has partnered with Modena-based B Engineering, which services EB110s to this day, to produce “the ultimate analog supercar” based on Bugatti-produced EB110 chassis and powered by a 720-hp 3.8-liter V12.

The basis of this effort will be the original EB110’s carbon-fiber monocoque chassis, a number of which were purchased from Bugatti when EB110 production ground to a halt. Casil and B Engineering plan to clothe the car with a newer exterior but otherwise stick close to the specs of the now-old Bugatti, featuring a number of updates throughout. The overall promise of the project is to offer an EB110 experience to those who missed out the first time around, with a few updates here and there. 

If this project sounds familiar, it’s because B Engineering tried this once before: The company envisioned a run of 21 supercars called the Edonis based on leftover EB110 hardware years ago, but the project stalled early on. Casil Motors and B Engineering are now back with plans (and money) to finally put those leftover EB110 parts to use, offering buyers a choice of two exterior designs and plenty of interior customization.

The stated performance specs — perhaps the main draw here — are 3.4-second sprints from 0-60 mph and top speeds of 220 mph, accomplished with technology that’s mostly 25 years old. Instead of all-wheel drive, the Edonis will be rear-wheel drive, so the driving experience won’t all be apples to apples.

If you’re in the market for something that is mostly an EB110 underneath and packs a 3.8-liter V12, the price of entry this time around will be about $850,000. Casil Motors and B Engineering plan to produce just 15 examples of the Edonis.

Actual EB110s, in case you’re wondering, trade hands for around $600,000, up from about $300,000 a decade ago. We think we know which car would have a better investment potential, but there’s also the draw of being able to hoon a V12 supercar without worrying about its investment potential.
