After the purchase of Bugatti by Volkswagen, they began an ambitious program with the EB118. It was a new concept car meant to showcase the world's first 18 cylinder engine with three rows of 6 cylinders in a W arrangement.
Giorgetto Giugiaro was responsible for the design which he later called his greatest car. With this design he brought back the classic Bugatti shoehorn grill and a sloping rear end reminiscent of the Type 64 with its center crease line.
