Renaissance of Speed is an independent, unauthorized work of nonfiction that tells the remarkable story of the EB110 and the ambitious effort to revive one of motoring's most revered names. At the center of the book is Romano Artioli's extraordinary attempt to bring Bugatti back to life in the late twentieth century-not as a nostalgic exercise, but as a bold engineering statement built around innovation, beauty, and speed.
From the creation of the futuristic Campogalliano factory to the development of the carbon-fiber chassis, quad-turbocharged V12, and all-wheel-drive system, this book traces how the EB110 became one of the most advanced supercars of its age. It explores the people behind the project, the technology that set the car apart, the financial collapse that ended the dream too soon, and the later rediscovery that transformed the EB110 into a modern icon.
Detailed, fact based, and written in a polished narrative style, Renaissance of Speed examines the full arc of the EB110's life: its conception, launch, engineering triumphs, competition ambitions, collector market revival, and lasting influence on later hypercars including the Bugatti Veyron and Centodieci. It is the story of brilliance, risk, heartbreak, and legacy-an account of how one car came to symbolize both the fragility and the greatness of automotive ambition.
