The Bugatti ID 90 by Italdesign Giugiaro.
The Bugatti ID90, Giugiaro’s first Bugatti was a classic of car design: a two-seater, mid-engined coupé based on technical drawings of Bugatti mechanics. The 63rd Turin Motor Show saw the debut of the Bugatti ID 90, based on technical drawings published from March 1989 and unveiled as Bugatti EB110 design proposal. These were respected above all in their compact dimensions: 4100 mm in length, 1840 mm in width. The Italdesign Bugatti ID 90 featured a very elongated glass dome contained within a single rounded curve to achieve the correct aesthetic balance between a sports car and deluxe saloon. As with the Lotus Etna of 1984, the rear part of the dome is empty to leave room for air intakes used to cool the engine. The design of the alloy rims is a homage to the past: the legendary Bugatti Royale of 1926.
In the world of high-performance automobiles, few cars command as much intrigue as the Bugatti EB110. Brought to life by Italian entrepreneur Romano Artioli, the EB110 was a groundbreaking effort to revive the storied Bugatti name. Combining avant-garde engineering, meticulous design, and theatrical presentation, it was a car that set new benchmarks for what a supercar could achieve—both on paper and in practice.
The Bugatti ID 90 stands as a testament to the visionary work of Giorgetto Giugiaro. Unveiled at the 63rd International Car Show in Turin, this concept car was more than just a futuristic representation; it was a bold exploration of form and function, drawing inspiration from the technical drawings of Bugatti mechanics published in the late 1980s.
When the Bugatti EB112 was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in 1993, its design and engineering caused quite a stir. It managed to establish a brand new segment for ultra-luxurious Grand Tourisme vehicles, showcasing Bugatti’s unrivaled heritage and commitment to innovative technologies.
