Engine output

The EB218 uses the same W18 engine, permanent four wheel drive powertrain that debuted in the 1998 EB118 and is also used in the 1999 18/3 Chiron concept cars.

Power comes from a Volkswagen-designed, 555 hp (408 kW) and 479 lb·ft (650 Nm), W18 engine. The EB218 W18 engine is composed of three banks of six cylinders with a sixty degree offset between each cylinder bank. In contrast, the W16 engine in Bugatti's first production car, the 2005 Veyron EB 16.4 features two banks of eight cylinders. The EB218 features permanent all-wheel drive.


Engine

Design

Bugatti commissioned Giorgetto Giugiaro of ItalDesign to update the EB112 4-door sedan concept that he designed for Bugatti Automobili SpA in 1993. The EB218 is a limousine with a 3 meter (118 in) wheelbase and an overall length of 5385 mm (212 in). The EB218 is longer than the EB112 and the hood, bumpers and lights differ from those of the EB112

Something Extra


The history of the legendary Bugatti brand started at the beginning of the last century. Ettore Bugatti built his first automobile in 1909 in Molsheim, Alsace. A high level of quality workmanship and a daring design for its time corresponded to Ettore Bugatti's principle: 'Nothing is too beautiful, nothing is too expensive'.


The first Bugattis built 91 years ago were just as much a sensation as the four design studies at the turn of the Millennium. Will Bugatti make more extravagant vehicles? How many? The specialist press and enthusiasts are making the most adventurous speculations. Bugatti will produce automobiles in the future as they did in the past: A total of 7,950 from 1909 to 1956 and approximately 50 per year in the future. It is planned, as of 2003, to build luxury sports cars by hand in the newly-constructed factory in Molsheim. Tradition is coupled with the modern day, the Bugatti philosophy with state-of the art technology. The basis for this is the renovation work on Chateau St. Jeans in Molsheim, purchased by Volkswagen in 1999, as the location to provide customer service, just as in the days of Ettore Bugatti.

EB 218 is the designation of the second prototype launched by Bugatti after Volkswagen acquired the marque. Its harmonic unification of technology and aesthetics sets new standards. The Bugatti EB 218 fulfils all demands which could possibly be made on a car, including a range of high comfort features. It gives the Bugatti name a new point of emphasis. The primary features of the Bugatti EB 218 follow on from the design and technical specifications of the EB 118 coupé study, which was produced by Giorgetto Giugiaro / ItalDesign under contract from Volkswagen, and which has been further developed to make this unmistakable four-door saloon.

The EB 218 transforms the dimensions and style of the classical Bugatti automobile into a modern setting. This orientation towards the terse lines of the touring cars traditional to the Bugatti marque make this saloon unmistakable.

The model name Bugatti EB 218 refers to the 18-cylinder engine, the first of its kind to be used in a passenger vehicle. This engine, which was developed at Volkswagen, has three rows of six-cylinder banks which are joined in the shape of a 'W'.

Technology and design merge together in the Bugatti EB 218. A swage line runs from the radiator over the bonnet and is continued over the roof of the saloon. It is interrupted by the rear window and continues at the lower edge of the window. A spoiler, which extends automatically, is also located here. Aluminium space-frame technology has been used for the production of the body. The exterior aluminium cladding is finished in pearlescent 'Blu Notte Perlato.

Changes:


As EB110 Concept was the first model by bugatti automobile s.a.s. which features a 2 doors coupe style and this model has a very big difference fron EB118 that it has 4 doors and 4 seats in the caqr which means this car is even better option for the family purpose and it is a sedan model which makes it different from Bugattis previous models
