The Bugatti EB 112 - The Panamera before The Panamera

The Bugatti EB 112 4-door sedan is a concept car presented by Bugatti Automobile S.p.A. in 1993. Giorgetto Giugiaro of ItalDesign designed the EB 112. The EB 112 features a 450 horsepower V12 engine and permanent four-wheel drive. And ofcourse it was related to the EB 110.

Bugatti debuted the EB 112 in March 1993, at the Geneva Motor Show. It received mixed reviews due to its unconventional design, however Automobile had named the car “The most beautiful car in the world” when it was released, i wonder what that guy was on and could i get some too.

Power comes from a Volkswagen-designed, 450 hp (336 kW) and 479 lb·ft (650 Nm), V12 engine. The EB 112 V12 engine, and has a displacement of 6.0 litres opposed to the EB110’s 3.5 litres. The engine is placed behind the front wheels, more towards the center of the car inside of the wheelbase to have a much better weight distribution.

The car can reach 100 km/h in just 4.3 seconds and has a claimed top speed of 300 km/h. It actually isn’t much slower than a Panamera (3.2s 0-100;tp. spd. 306km/h), allthough it is 20 years older.

There are at least two built, one red and one black, however images of a third blue one have appeared. Each of the concepts are slightly different, as the red car has bumper integrated taillights opposed to the black and the blue’s taillights which are placed above the rear bumper. The blue one differs from the black one because it has more aerodynamic enhancements, such as a subtle front splitter and a rear lip spoiler just below the rear window. Unfortunately due to the company’s bankruptcy in 1995, the production-ready car was never officially released to the public. And it would’ve costed 2 million dollars.

A black EB 112, owned by Gildo Pallanca Pastor, the current CEO and owner of the French car company Venturi, was spotted being driven around in Monaco in 2013. There are also rumors that Giugiaro has had an EB 112 built for him.

So what do you think about this land yacht, i found it very interesting.
