Bugatti EB 218 Concept

[ironhorse82]

this is a nice concept car.

The Bugatti EB218 was a concept sedan. It is a limousine in the vein of the legendary 1926 Bugatti Royale with a 3 meter (118 in) wheelbase and is 212 in (5385 mm) long. It features a longitudinal groove intended to echo the Bugatti Atlantic. It shared some stylistic features with the EB 112 prototype presented in 1993.
Power comes from a Volkswagen-designed W18 engine. This 6.3 liter engine is entirely different from the "production" W16 found on the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 - it features three banks of six cylinders with 60 degrees separating each bank. Power is quoted at 555 hp (408 kW) and 479ft·lbf (650 Nm), exactly the same as the Bugatti EB 118 concept car.

Engine: 18 cylinders in W

Thats not "quoting" its plagiarism. No source, not quotation marks.

But in the interest of discussion:


Doesn't the interior seem pretty tame by todays concept car standards? Looks almost production!

This isn't news. If ironhorse here is so keen on telling the history of cars, he should do so in "Cars in General", and not in "Auto News".

And when he would actually bother to write proper essays about the history of a particular car, rather than ripping it from Wikipedia, it might even be interesting.
