The Bugatti EB 112 is a 4-door fastback saloon from Bugatti, built from 1993 to 1998, when airbags, anti-lock brakes and Japanese build quality became the world standard. Under the bonnet: 6.0 . Giorgetto Giugiaro at Italdesign drew it.
Where it came from
The Bugatti EB 112 is a concept 4-door fastback saloon presented by Bugatti Automobili S.p.A. in 1993. Giorgetto Giugiaro of Italdesign was responsible for designing the car. The EB 112 features a 456 PS (335 kW; 450 hp) V12 engine and permanent four-wheel drive system.
Under the skin
Power comes from 6.0 . It weighs 1,800 kg. It shifts through a 6-speed manual. The layout matters: drive goes to all four wheels, which is what lets the power be used on a wet road. The wheelbase is 3100 mm. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
In context
Its family tree is legible: it took over from the Bugatti Type 57; its successor was the Bugatti EB 218; assembly was at Modena. Its contemporaries in the catalogue — the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, the Subaru Impreza, the Renault Twingo — show what else the money bought that year. Nearby in the Bugatti catalogue sit the Bugatti 57 Galibier and the Bugatti 8-cylinder line.
