Edonis

The Edonis is a car created by Italian automobile manufacturer B Engineering.

It is based on the Bugatti EB110 Super Sport but has been extensively re-engineered. About the only thing retained from the original Bugatti is the carbon-fiber chassis. Both the exterior and interior of the car have been completely redesigned. The 3.5 liter Bugatti engine has had its displacement increased from 3,500 cc to 3,760cc. The original four small IHI turbochargers have been replaced by two larger units from the same manufacturer. Engine power has been boosted from 603 bhp and 479 lb/ft of torque to 720 bhp and 590 lb/ft. In addition, the 4WD triple-differential drivetrain from the original Bugatti has been replaced with a much simpler and lighter RWD transaxle. The overall net saving of weight is approximately 70kg.

These power figures give the 1500kg Edonis a power:weight ratio of 480 bhp/metric ton. In addition, the engine's specific power output is an unprecedented 191.5 bhp/liter.

B Engineering plan to build only 20 vehicles and they are expected to sell for around £450,000.
