24897 view(s) In 1994 Michel Hommell, a wealthy French publisher brought back the mythical Bugatti name to Le Mans. His Synergie prepared EB110 was a unique entry as it was the only 4 wheel drive GT.
Seriously lightened with carbon parts, it had been completely reshaped improving both aerodynamics and cooling.
Complementing the "Quatro" style were 4 Turbo's feeding the 3.5 litre V12.
Producing no less than 600 hp some of this power was lost in the drive train, but in Pre Qualifying it was still the fastest GT on the track.

In the race the EB 110 was less fortunate, Porsche had staked the decks with its "fake" Dauer GT, and a last minute fuel leak didn't help the Bugatti cause, nor did running half tanks until the "quick fix" araldite dried.
After changing all 4 turbo's (some twice) Bugatti and Michel Hommell's dreams were finally smashed when Bouillon hit the barriers in the final hour.

Rare Injection moulded kit of a rare 4wd Sportscar. Has become had to get since it was discontinued by Revell.
Look for it on E-bay or dusty back shelfs in old modelshops.
Slotcar conversion remarks:
Multi piece body is easily converted for slotcar use, but a lot off work for the true modellist to convert the streetcar in the an LM Racer.
Seperate decalsheet of LM94 reported as made by UMI ??
With help of good ref pictures IMSA EB110 also not hard to make "in house". |
