Ex-Michael Schumacher’s Bugatti EB110 SS (Chassis SS39020) is back on the road again. Back in May ahead of the Formula 1 Grand Prix in Monaco it was spotted at the Casino Square, on the road and in an undergroudn parking lot, and what a sight it was.

Monaco is always the place to be for catching a glimpse of the cars tied to F1 drivers. We’ve seen plenty of them over the years: George Russell showing up in his AMG One, Carlos Sainz in his Ferrari Purosangue, Lando Norris driving his Porsche Carrera GT, Valtteri Bottas arriving with his Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale, and Adrian Sutil turning heads with his Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport, among others. This time, though, the attention was firmly on one car: Schumacher’s stunning yellow EB110 SS.

Bugatti produced a total of 139 EB110s, with about 30 units of the EB110 SS built. Some sources suggest the figure could actually be 32 or even 33 Super Sports, adding a bit of mystery to the production numbers. Over the years, we’ve seen several EB110 SS models appear on our site, the first dating back to 2007. Then in 2008, the very first yellow EB110 SS was spotted. Only three EB110 SS models were ever painted in yellow, and now, with Schumacher’s example appearing, we’ve witnessed the second one of those three being spotted.

Schumacher, a driver who went on to win seven Formula 1 World Championships, treated himself to this EB110 SS back in June 1994. At the time, it wasn’t just another supercar, it was the fastest street-legal production car in the world. With a top speed of 336 km/h and a blistering 0-100 km/h in just 3.6 seconds, it was a true marvel of engineering in the 1990s.

The car changed hands in 2010, when it was purchased by the German high-end restoration shop Reichel Sportwagen. However, its story took a near-tragic turn in 2021. During the devastating floods in Germany, Schumacher’s EB110 SS was almost completely lost. Luckily, the restoration experts at Oldie Schmiede, located near Aachen, were commissioned to save it. Using dry ice blasting, they carefully cleaned the engine and drivetrain, working to ensure the EB110 SS could be brought back to life and return to the road.
Now, fast forward to 2025, and the EB110 SS is not only saved but back on the streets, once again turning heads wherever it goes. Today it wears German license plates from AIC, a region in Aichach-Friedberg, Bavaria. Seeing this machine back in action is a true joy for enthusiasts. Instead of being left to rot after disaster struck, Schumacher’s EB110 SS has been lovingly restored and preserved, keeping a priceless piece of automotive and motorsport history alive.
