  • Historic Bugatti Vehicles Increase In Value, Including More Recent Models.

    Bugatti vehicles have always been exclusive. but with age their value increases, as shown by an analysis of individual historical vehicles. in particular, the super sports cars of the eb110 series and the veyron hyper sports cars are increasing in popularity among collectors – so prices are rising, too.

    Bugatti EB110

    The EB110 is the modern super sports car built by Bugatti between 1991 and 1995 that set several world records. The engine is a 3.5-litre V12 mid-engine with four turbochargers. Drive power is permanently transmitted to all four wheels. Two camshafts per cylinder bank and five valves per combustion chamber ensure a fast charge cycle. Depending on the model and configuration, the engine produces between 560 and 610 hp. The EB110 sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in up to 3.3 seconds, making it the fastest series-production car of its time. Its maximum speed is 351 km/h – a world record for a series-production sports car. Only 96 EB110 GT and 32 EB110 Super Sport were produced up until 1995. At the time, the super sports car in its GT version cost at least ITL 450 million – including maintenance and wear parts for the first three years, while the Super Sport started at EUR 550 million.

    Value levels are developing very positively

    While both Alberta and Texas were hit hard by the oil-price drop in 2014, the Texas unemployment rate has dropped while the Alberta rate has risen, finds a new study released by the Fraser Institute, an independent, non-partisan Canadian public policy think-tank.
