{{Main article|Edonis}}
B Engineering is the company behind the super-exclusive [[Edonis]] supercar, based on the [[Bugatti EB110]]. Thanks to several engine modifications, it has higher performance than the vehicle on which it is based.<ref>{{Cite web|title=2001 B Engineering Edonis - Images, Specifications and Information|url=https://www.ultimatecarpage.com/car/837/B-Engineering-Edonis.html|access-date=2021-03-10|website=Ultimatecarpage.com}}</ref>

The first model, presented in 2001, was called Edonis, based on the Bugatti EB110 Super Sport, but had been extensively revised: the only element, which kept from the original Bugatti, was the carbon fiber frame. Both the exterior and the interior of the car had been completely renewed. Bugatti's 3.5-liter engine was increased to 3760&nbsp;cm<sup>3</sup> of displacement. The original IHI turbochargers had been replaced by two larger units from the same manufacturer; Thanks to this, the engine power had increased from 610 CV DIN (448&nbsp;kW) and 650 Nm of torque to 680 CV DIN (500&nbsp;kW) at 8000 rpm and 735 N.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2016-12-25 |title=Edonis Sport Car {{!}} B.Engineering |url=http://www.bengineering.it/edonis.html |access-date=2022-05-12 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161225141506/http://www.bengineering.it/edonis.html |archive-date=2016-12-25 }}</ref>

A production of 21 units was initially planned, all to be delivered by 2002 at a price of around €760000,<ref>{{Cite web |date=2007-10-19 |title=Virtualauto: B.

==Bugatti Service==
Because of the close relation of the [[Edonis]] to the [[Bugatti EB110]] and [[Bugatti EB112|EB112]], B Engineering provides service and parts for these models.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2013-12-19|title=Customer Service Bugatti EB 110 GT-SS {{!}} B.Engineering|url=http://www.bengineering.it/customer_service_EB110_GT-SS.html|access-date=2021-03-10|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131219054916/http://www.bengineering.it/customer_service_EB110_GT-SS.html|archive-date=2013-12-19}}</ref>

==Padane Bus==
After the closure of [[Officine Padane|Padane]] (a bus manufacturer), B Engineering acquired the spare parts warehouse and archive materials. Currently, B Engineering uses these facilities to provide service, spare parts and general advice to Padane bus owners.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2009-05-18|title=B.Engineering|url=http://www.b-engineering.com/padane_presentazione.aspx|access-date=2021-03-10|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090518062207/http://www.b-engineering.com/padane_presentazione.aspx|archive-date=2009-05-18}}</ref>
