Molsheim (September 4, 2025) - In a celebration of craftsmanship and heritage, Bugatti's La Maison Pur Sang authentication program has meticulously traced and documented the provenance of one of the rarest hypercars-the Bugatti EB110 America SS025. As the marque's flagship initiative for verifying historical lineage, the process now reveals the unmatched legacy behind this iconic model.
A Legacy Authenticated with Precision
Since 2020, La Maison Pur Sang has made it its mission to preserve the legendary status of every Bugatti by offering owners a comprehensive lifecycle history-from original order to production records and maintenance archives-all under one roof.

A Collector's Emotional Journey
The authentication isn't just a mere formality-it's a deeply moving experience for collectors. As the Bugatti specialists opened each chapter of the EB110 America's story, they lifted decades of history, revealing previously forgotten moments and cherished media coverage.
Originally built as a development prototype blending qualities of the EB110 GT and SS, the SS025 was shipped to North America as a demonstration vehicle. It graced the cover of the Robb Report, earned the People's Choice Award at Concorso Italiano, and even featured at the Chicago Auto Show in 1995. Bugatti Newsroom
Restoration of Identity and Legacy
Subsequently, SS025 served as a passion project for Romano Artioli, spearheading Bugatti's renaissance. A repaint from the original Grigio Chiaro to the iconic "Bugatti Blu" occurred in Campogalliano, adding to its storied past. Ownership later passed to a British collector renowned in magazine features and television, including a memorable segment on The Grand Tour. Bugatti Newsroom
