One-of-three 1999 Bugatti EB112 four-door sedan expected to fetch over $2,000,000 at auction

Bugatti once built a four-door sedan so rare most people don’t even know it exists.

It wasn’t a concept, either, but something far closer to a finished production car.

Now, one of those near-mythical machines is stepping back into the spotlight.

And this time, it’s heading to auction with a multi-million-dollar estimate.

The forgotten EB112 sedan now heading to auction

This one-of-three 1999 Bugatti EB112 is set to cross the block at RM Sotheby’s Monaco auction, and it’s expected to land somewhere north of $2,000,000.

The EB112 debuted in 1993 as Bugatti’s attempt to bring back its ultra-luxury four-door lineage.

But the company ran out of time before it could properly build them.

Only one example was completed before Bugatti Automobili collapsed in 1995. 

After that, two unfinished cars and a cache of parts were picked up and later assembled, turning what could’ve been a forgotten project into one of the rarest modern Bugattis ever made.

This particular car is one of those final builds. 

It spent years tucked away in a private collection and has covered about 240 miles from new.

Because of that, it’s less a used car and more a preserved snapshot of what Bugatti was trying to become in the 1990s.

And then there’s how it looks. 

Designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro, the EB112 leans heavily into Bugatti’s pre-war design language, with a long spine running down the body and a split rear window that nods back to the iconic Atlantic.

A Bugatti that wasn’t a hypercar but still did 0-62mph in 4.3 seconds

Underneath that elegant shape, though, the EB112 is doing something completely different.

It runs a 6.0-liter naturally aspirated V12 producing around 460hp, paired with a six-speed manual and permanent all-wheel drive. 

That setup pushes the four-door sedan to 62 miles per hour in just 4.3 seconds and on to a top speed of 186 miles per hour.

For something designed to be a luxury car first, those numbers still feel slightly unreal.

The engineering story backs it up. 

The engine sits behind the front axle for better balance, and the car has a carbon-fiber chassis, which was a pretty bold move for a sedan in the early 1990s.

Inside, it leans the other way. 

Leather, wood, and analog dials dominate the cabin, with none of the digital clutter you’d expect today. 

It was built to feel timeless, not futuristic.

That contrast is really what defines the EB112. 

It’s a limousine that thinks like a supercar, built at a moment when Bugatti was trying to reconnect its past with a future that never quite arrived.

Now, decades later, one of those ideas is finally up for sale. 

And for the right buyer, it’s not just a car, it’s a version of Bugatti history that almost disappeared.
