Big trip in the EB110 last weekend to go and pick up her younger sister in Alsace.
We hadnโt driven it for a long while, particularly on such a long trip.
What an amazing car it is. ๐๐ผ๐๐ผ๐๐ผ
It was assembled by hand and it shows, the aircon only works at high RPM, when it rains the windscreen steams up, itโs super noisy at high speeds, you get the picture, the full 90s Italian supercar experience! ๐๐๐
Oh and if youโre taller than 6ft, you have to drive with your head tilted because it hits the integrated roll cage.๐ฐ
Anoraky fact of the day:
The gearbox is mounted under the V12 on the right hand side of the car, hence why the engine is slightly offset to the left. ๐ค
And as a result the transmission tunnel is also offset (to the right) by a whole 40mm!
Meaning that if youโre a passenger, your head is literally facing the A pillar!!!๐ณ๐ณ๐ณ
But thankfully, it scores where it matters.
First the looks, thirty years on, it still looks like nothing else, ๐ฎ๐น wedge, mega cool doors, unique piece of Italian art actually designed by an architect!๐๐๐
And what an awesome drive.
The V12 is tiny, 3.5L so you have massive lag but it loves revving!
Boost comes on at a very peaky 5000rpm but she will scream passed 8000rpm, the noise is awesome and the chassis is brilliant, super compliant, massive grip, steering is sublime, utterly fantastic, amazing work by Nicola Materazzi and Loris Bicocchi.๐๐ผ๐๐ผ๐๐ผ
Today it seems the EB110 has finally come of age, for decades, it was ignored, and now petrolheads (and the market) finally give this car the recognition it deserves.
A masterpiece.
