Watching this Holy Trinity of Bugatti’s Supercar lineup in the UAE is a fabulous treat to the eye. Featuring the Bugatti EB110 Super Sport, the Veyron 16.4 Super Sport, and the Chiron, the Holy Trinity does not only have similarities in looks, but they also have many related mechanical parts that have been a hallmark of Bugatti’s craftsmanship. The quad turbochargers, carbon-intensive monocoque built, all-wheel drive, and ultimate performance are a few things that Bugatti worked over and over again for perfection.
Bugatti EB110 Super Sport
Named after company’s founder Ettore Bugatti, the EB110 was introduced on September 15, 1991. When it came, it was the most powerful and the fastest production car on the road beating Ferrari F40 and Lamborghini Diablo with good margins. It features a 3.5L V12 that generates 553 horsepower and 611 newton-meters of torque against F40’s 471 and Diablo’s 485 ponies.
While that was not enough, the automaker unveiled EB110 Super Sport after six months. This time the engineers managed to bump up the horsepower figures to 603. The torque was also improved by 39 Nm. Bugatti added carbon fiber body panels to reduce the weight by 150 kilograms (330 pounds). The changes enabled the car to hit 96 km/h in 3.2 seconds only. The top speed was limited to 354 km/h.
Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Super Sport
Bugatti again made headlines when it presented Veyron 16.4 in 2005. While it was still employing four turbos and an all-wheel-drive layout, the automaker introduced a new 8.0L W16 engine. The engineers made it so efficient that it was capable of producing 987 hp and 1,250 Nm of torque.
Staying true to its norm, Bugatti brought Veyron Super Sport for speed enthusiasts in 2010. This lighter and more efficient version of Veyron can pump out a monstrous 1,184 hp and 1,500 Nm of torque. The top speed is limited to 415 km/h (258 mph). When Bugatti removed the cap and tried a flat-out run at the Volkswagen Group’s Ehra-Lessien track near Wolfsburg, Germany, the car managed to hit 431,072 km/h (268 mph) and became the fastest production car of that time.
Bugatti Chiron
After Bugatti made their committed 450 Veyron units in 2015, the company introduced its next best thing, the Chiron, in 2016. This time the same but revised 8.0L W16 evolved to yield a massive 1,479 hp and 1,600 Nm of torque. To stay true to its record-breaking habits, this Bugatti made the world record of 0-400-0 km/h (0-249-0 mph) in 42 seconds, which was later beaten by Koenigsegg Regera.
While the company first hinted at not taking any part in the fastest car race, they changed their mind when they produced the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+. This car is right now the world’s fastest production car with a record of hitting 490.48 km/h (304.773 mph) on the odometer. The customer versions, however, can only go as fast as 440 km/h (273mph).
