Formula One legend Michael Schumacher put his Bugatti EB 110 SS (Sport Stradale) for sale for 600,000 Euro ($761,940). The supercar is supposed to be in better-than-new condition.

This striking yellow Bugatti EB 110 was bought by Schumi in 1994 who used it in his private life for almost ten years. But he apparently hardly ever used the car as the mileage seems to be not even 5000 km.

Based on the EB 110 which was unveiled in 1991, the Bugatti EB110 SS is a mid-engine supercar with 60-valve, featuring a 3.5-litre quad-turbo V12 engine and 6-speed manual transmission. The supercar delivers 661 hp at 8,000rpm and can sprint up to 100 km/h in only 3.2 seconds with a top speed of 355 km/h. Aerospatiale France helped develop the carbon fibre chassi while Michelin constructed the custom made tires. The seats can be equipped with 4-point harness.

This Bugatti car is the only EB 110 SS with the luxury interior of the GT model and it seems that only 33 units are believed to have been produced.

Three designers from the "Politecnico di Milano" University named Alberto Gaiani, Massimo Paparella and Michela Zedda have been Involved in a project in conjunction with Alfa Romeo and came up with this roadster that may be a thorn in the side of many cars should it come into production.

They come with a new project, which is a new and a smaller Alfa Spider. The design is a rougher, but still pleasing alternative.

According to Samuel Codegoni, who is a teacher at the university, "One of the main ideas that drove this project was to express a sense of tension in action. This decidedly moves away from the first production model takes as a reference: the iconic Duetto of the 1960's - the second reference was the Alfa Spider from the '90s, with its typical wedge-shaped profile."
