Holy Trinity of Bugatti Hypercars, how would you feel when the trio of the Bugatti EB110, Veyron and Chiron Hypercars blow past…
French automaker Bugatti has rolled its three generations of modern supercars from the 1990s, 2000s, and 2010s for a photoshoot in Dubai.
The astonishing assembly, which Bugatti calls the “Holy Trinity” of its modern hypercars lineup, includes the EB110 from the 1990s, the Veyron from 2000s, and the Chiron from the 2010s.
While each of these cars ruled the supercar scenes at different times, the luxury machines all boasts similar features.
These includes four turbochargers, carbon-intensive monocoque construction, all-wheel drive, as well as record-breaking performance.
The EB110
The iconic supercar, EB110, which denotes the name of Bugatti’s founder, Ettore Bugatti, was unveiled in 1991 to celebrate Ettore Bugatti’s 110th birthday.
It packs a mid-engined quad-turbo 3.5-liter V12 engine that churns out between 553HP for the GT and 603HP for the Super Sport.
The EB110 claimed a zero-to-62-mph time of 3.3 seconds and a top speed of 218 mph.
Just 139 copies of the 2-door coupe were made from 1991 to 1995 when the company was liquidated.
