| The Dauer EB110 S #7598 is one of the 5 EB110 entirely built by Dauer in the Nuremberg workshop. The car was built on the nude Carbon Industrie chassis N°151 in US configuration, powered with the engine N°024. The main specificity of the car is its body in unpainted carbon, covered with a PPG lacquer. The result is interesting but not free of defects : the different orientation of the carbon fibers between the body panels causes a contrasted light's reflection, resulting in not aesthetic shades differences. The extended leather caramel-colored is an excellent choice, which makes the interior much more light and warm. |
2001
The Dauer #7598 was under construction in the Dauer Workshop of Nurember during the first half of 2001.
The engine N°024 is a rather old block from the prototype period of the EB110, between 1991 and 1992. It was customized and upgraded to Supersport specifications. |

The car was exhibited for the first time at the 2001 edition of the Monaco Formula 1 Grand Prix, in May, in front of the Metropole Palace, parked next to #7498 (in its first configuration called Granit Silver).
The car was licensed in Germany (N-EB-545) and later, N-EB-403.
