Bugatti EB 112

The Bugatti EB 112 is a concept four-door fastback saloon presented by Bugatti Automobili S.p.A. in 1993, designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro of Italdesign as a full-size saloon version of the EB 110 sports car. It was a retro-styled car reminiscent of older Bugattis such as the Type 57, with a body made entirely of aluminium on a carbon-fibre chassis shared with the EB 110. Its 6.0 litre V12 with five valves per cylinder produced 335 kilowatts, sat behind the front wheels for better weight distribution and drove all four wheels; the car could reach 100 kilometres per hour in 4.3 seconds with a claimed top speed of 300 kilometres per hour. It debuted at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1993 to mixed reviews, though Automobile magazine called it the most beautiful car in the world. When Bugatti Automobili went bankrupt in 1995, businessman Gildo Pallanca Pastor bought three unfinished cars, and two were completed in 1998 by his Monaco Racing Team. The EB 218 and the 16C Galibier were later evolutions of its four-door design.
