What supercar was it ?
 
Ok guys this morning going along the M27 I came across what I can only describe as a cross between a Lambo/Zonda from the side. It was electric blue in colour and had no markings on the rear at all from what I could see. It was P reg (which indicated 96ish year as it didn't look like a private plate)

It looked like it was may be 10 years old and although the colour made me think it was just a replica of some sort, when he blipped the throttle it really did sound like it had some serious engine underneath. There was a badge on the front which I thought was red but can't be sure.

The front lights looked like this 1992 Bugatti EB110 SS [SuperSport] Pictures and Specifications @ SupercarStats.com - The Supercar Resource
the rear light clusters looked like large tic-tacs....with two exhausts in the rear nearer the centre but not next to each other. It was also left hand drive and I thought it looked european.

Love to know what it is, because I got the impression it was something special. Wish I had taken the plate now to check through the dvla site which gives registered make/manufacturer.


Any ideas or sites I can go to to try and see if I can recognise it.

Renault Alpine?

Damn the rear isn't quite right although the lights are kind of oval shape. This one had a definite spoiler (tasteful one not an added ironing board). :D

Bugatti badge is red so its may be possible ??

Fair play to the person driving it as I can't imagine parts would be easy to come by?

I sat in one at the Motorshow one year, found about 4 quid on the seat in change and then got kicked off the stand cos we weren't allowed to sit in it! :D:D

The Bugatti EB110 was prototyped in several guises, there were different lights, spoilers, wheels etc.

I used to see a blue one parked in Sussex Square in Brighton but that was about 10 years ago.
