An American company has resurrected the 26-year-old Bugatti EB110 as the SP-110 Edonis Fenice.
Casil Motors, which describes itself as "a manufacturer specialising in ultra-exclusive, bespoke, tailor-made supercars", is planning sell 15 examples of the SP-110, priced from around £600,000.
The SP-110 is itself an evolution of the B Engineering Edonis, which was created by a group of ex-Bugatti employees in 2001 after the Italian iteration of the famous brand went bust in 1995.
Casil bought the rights to the Edonis last year.
B Engineering's aluminium-bodied Edonis was based on a modified version of the EB110's carbonfibre monocoque chassis, a batch of which had been purchased from the old Bugatti factory, and was powered by a 720bhp, twin-turbocharged 3.8-litre development of the Bugatti's 550bhp, quad-turbocharged 3.5-litre V12.
In addition, the EB110's all-wheel-drive set-up was ditched in favour of rear-wheel drive. Like in the EB110, drive was sent through a six-speed manual gearbox.
The car's lead engineer was Nicola Materazzi, who has an illustrious CV including design work on the Lancia Stratos, Ferrari Testarossa, Ferrari F40, Ferrari Formula 1 cars and the EB110.
Buyers will be able to work with B Engineering to create a bespoke interior. A range of exterior paint colours, including original EB110 options, will be offered. They will also be able to choose from Materazzi's original Fenice design (pictured in red) or the "aggressive and modernised" new Rinascita bodystyle (pictured in white).

Looks like a kitted Audi R10 from some angles, very much a limited run Car though.

The red one in indeed looking very sad about something.
It could be that it has seen its reflection in a window?
Or it could be the utterly cheesy name?
