BUGATTI EB110 LM

In the modern history of Bugatti, only one car has been racing and participated to the 24 hours of Le Mans.

In December 2017, we met a part of the Campogalliano Bugatti team in Berlin. The race cars from Le Mans and IMSA Series were on exhibition. 

Davide Cironi had the chance to interview Romano Artioli, Giampaolo Benedini, Loris Bicocchi, Giampaolo Simonini, Vittorio Filipinni and Fabio Baroni.

Two AD MACHINAM portraits of the cars where commissioned by their lucky owner and served as a background for the interview of Vittorio Filippini.

“As a nod to the glorious hours of endurance and to celebrate with panache the return of a GT category at the 24h of Le Mans, Bugatti returns to a forgotten tradition by arriving by road to Le Mans. Escorted by the police force bikers and a demo Bugatti EB110 GT (the JM Borel GT080), the EB110 LM, registered with a temporary license plate from the Sarthe department, joins the others cars engaged for the technical verifications.” - The Bugatti EB110 Registry.

“3:13 pm: 45 minutes from the finish, while the technical problems seem to have been solved and the EB110 goes up the rankings, JC Bouillon avoiding a Viper in bad position in the straight line of Mulsanne loses control of the car which violently hits the safety rail. The EB110 LM is too damaged to return to the stands (broken rim and distorted front axle-tree) and officially abandons at 3:45 pm after 230 laps.” - The Bugatti EB110 Registry.

Those AD MACHINAM works were released to the owner in Berlin, in December 2017.

They are realised on brushed aluminium, 80x40cm and can be exposed both horizontally and vertically.
