Bugatti EB 112 offered for sale

Every Bugatti model that appears on the market always attracts attention, and this is especially true of rare prototypes. In Germany, a very rare prototype of the Bugatti EB 112 series was offered for sale, the second of only three produced.

Although it was ordered on April 27, 1993, the car was delivered only in February 2000. It is believed that it has had only one owner so far, and the company that sells it claims that it is completely correct. It is powered by a 6.0-liter V12 engine with 450 hp (335 kW) and 479 lb-ft (649 Nm) of torque. It reaches 62 mph in just 4.3 seconds with a top speed of 186 mph (300 kph). Power is transmitted to all wheels via a five-speed manual transmission.

Prior to joining the Volkswagen Group, the French supercar manufacturer was owned by Roman Artioli. He asked Giorgetto Giugiaro to design a four-door model inspired by the brand’s rich heritage. The result is EB 112 which, due to lack of funds, was produced in only three units. The first car was made by Pininfarina, while the remaining two were produced by the Monaco Racing Team, after the company joined the Volkswagen Group. The EB 112 was unveiled at the 1993 Geneva Motor Show.

The EB 112 is in perfect condition with chassis number # 39002 and 3,900 kilometers.

1994 Porsche 911 Turbo from the movie “Bad Boys” at auction

Auction house Mecum has announced the sale of the 1994 Porsche 911 Turbo from the movie “Bad Boys”. The car was driven by actor Will Smith, and comes with a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity and a Movie Certificate of Authenticity.

It is equipped with a rear spoiler, air conditioning, radio cassette player, sunroof, 5-spoke speedline aluminum wheels, and it is finished in Black with Black leather interior. Director Michael Bay, who owned the car, sold it to producer Pat Sandstone, and then in 2005 it was bought by the current owner. Also, Porsche was part of the Matthew Drendel collection between 2008 and 2014.

It is powered by a turbocharged 3.6L 6-cylinder engine with 355 hp (265 kW) and 384 lb-ft (520 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via a five-speed manual transmission. It is equipped with 17-inch rims wrapped in 205 / 50R17 (front) and 225 / 45R17 (rear) tires. The car is in excellent condition with 34,396 miles (55,355 kilometers).

The car is expected to reach a high price, especially due to the fact that a similar unit (without any certificates) was sold last year for 275,000 euros. The extremely rare Porsche 964 Turbo 3.6 X88 has been sold for $ 439,099.
