The
EB110 GT #39011 is the first EB110 exhibited in public with a configuration
identical to future production model (GT rims, mirrors, intermediate
door's sill, rear lights with stripes). The particularity of the GT39011 is its color, a special
silver with blue shades, that will remain its specificity for
a long time. The car was exhibited at the 1992 Mondial of Paris Motorshow (France), side by side with the first Supersport prototype GT39008.
1992, late :
Once the Paris Motorshow ended, the GT39011 left spotlights to devote itself to a tougher car development life. In coordination
with Bosh, JP Vittecoq, L. Bicocci and part of the technical staff were
in Sweden during winter 1992 to perform temperature tests and to achieve the set up of the ABS system.
The C12 and
C7 cars was used for the tests, equiped with BBS gold rims. |
1993, spring :
The car is brought back to Italy to serve as a development mule, among other things to complete the fine adjustments of the braking system. |

As
often with Bugatti developmental car, the GT39011 was then
used for crash tests:
1994, May 5th:
TUV Rheinland (Germany), Std 214 (Side
impact), Honeycomb crabbed moving barrier, 1 Dummy at
driver's seat, speed V=54,5 kmh,
Then, the GT39011 was refurbished at the factory.
1994, Aug 31st:
TNO (Holland), Std 214 and Std 301 (front 30 degrees crash),
30 degrees iron plate fixed on concrete barrier, 2 Hybrid
III Dummies, Airbag (driver and passenger), Speed V=48,4
km.
It seems the car
was then destructed. |
