The car that briefly revived Bugatti and later put them into another collapse

Image
If you're wondering, I'm talking about the Bugatti EB 110, which marked the return of the French car marque in 1991, 29 years after their initial dissolution in 1962. Despite much anticipation, it didn't sell well with around 150 made before the company collapsed in 1995. Bugatti would later be acquired by Volkswagen in 1998, which resulted in the launch of the Veyron in 2005.
