You may know Porsche Panamera, Aston Martin Rapide and the Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door? These are individual models on the automotive market. Actually it is both 4-door sedans and high-performance coupes. However, long before them, another manufacturer considered the development of a four-door sports car: EB112 from Bugatti. First presented on Paris Motor Show 1993immediately attracting the attention of the public and car enthusiasts all over the world.

Because when Bugatti releases something new, everyone holds their breath! The four-door luxury car segment was an under-explored area for the brand at the time. Not even competitors. her elegant and aerodynamic design has smooth lines, a long hood, characteristic horseshoe-shaped grille, and light-alloy wheels of the most beautiful effect. But this is only the tip of the iceberg…

Beautiful inside as well as outside

Its interior is just as luxurious! Premium materials, high-quality wood trim and leather upholstery is a typical touch of Bugatti luxury. Although the presentation – all in black – is a bit sad (it looks like a Porsche 993), we find a personal touch of the Alsatian manufacturer: imitation of polished steel, to establish the sportiness of the model. In the back, spaciousness is royal for passengers, but the prototype obliges, it is quite bare… Under the hood, the Bugatti EB112 inherits 6-liter V12 engine from Volkswagen with a capacity of 456 horsepower (649 Nm of torque). Built like this, it accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.3 seconds and has a top speed of 300 km/h. Unfortunately, despite the enthusiasm, the model will never reach serial production…

Only 3 copies

At that time, the Bugatti company faced off financial and organizational difficulties. They prevent the implementation of many projects, such as this one. Shortly after the presentation, the project was suspended, and Bugatti EB112 in the closet. A testament to Bugatti’s advanced engineering and visionary design, this will never be the case released in only three copies. One in burgundy, which is part of the Bugatti stock. And two anthracite-black copies that will be sold to Swiss and Monegasque billionaires. This year she celebrates her 30th birthday., without any similar sports sedan project that saw the light of day at Bugatti. In any case, there is no shortage of new products, and you can thank Volkswagen for allowing it the famous French brand continues to exist…
