Bugatti EB110
When the Bugatti brand was introduced in the 1990s everything was different about it. The Bugatti sports cars were hand built in a special factory, and you could say that more effort went into building the car than it was worth. The EB110 was the sole beneficiary of this exclusive factory and the company ended up going bankrupt (via Motor Authority).
But the EB110 was largely considered one of the best sports cars of all time. The driving experience is exhilarating and you can feel every bit of the hand-built design. Nowadays the Bugatti brand is a fixture of pop culture but the EB110 was the car that started it all for the company.
