The Bugatti Centodieci (Italian: 110) is a limited-production, mid-engine sports car produced by French automobile manufacturer Bugatti. The Bugatti Centodieci was intended as a celebration of the 110th anniversary of the French marques existence ( centodieci is Italian for 110) and has an attractive, angular form directly inspired by the EB110. Bugatti Centodieci The French carmaker is tipping its hat to the EB110, the mid-engined supercar which debuted in 1991, while the company was owned by Romano Artioli.
With the Centodieci, Bugatti created a reinvention of the Epochal EB110, regarded as the fastest and most remarkable supercar at its time, at its introduction in 1991. The Centodieci — Italian for 110 — is an updated tribute to the Bugatti EB110. Bugatti unveiled the Centodieci back in summer 2019 as a limited-edition tribute to the Bugatti EB110 (Centodieci is Italian for 110) supercar of the 90s. While La Voiture Noire was a homage to the 1930s-era Type 57 SC Atlantic, the Centodieci pays tribute to the Bugatti EB110, the supercar built between 1991 and 1995.
Based on the Chiron, the ultra-exclusive Bugatti Centodieci has body lines that recall the Bugatti EB110, something that is not accidental. The brag is due to the fact that Bugatti wanted the Centodieci to resemble the modern day incarnation of the Bugatti EB110. While the front face and profile borrowed some elements from the EB110, the rear of the Centodieci did not actually remind me of that supercar of the 90s.
While the Bugatti EB110 featured fairly straightforward, rectangular elements, the Centodieci boasts a more complex design, which makes a lot more sense from an aerodynamic standpoint. Not only is it stronger than the Bugatti Chiron, but the Centodieci sports a new design borrowed from the EB110. Unsurprisingly, the Centodieci features the same quad-turbocharged, 8.0-liter W-16 engine that Bugatti has used for over a decade with both the Veyron and Chiron. At 1,577 horsepower, not only is the Centodieci the most powerful Chiron-based car yet, but it is the most powerful Bugatti ever.
Here, Bugattis familiar, quad-turbocharged, 8.0-liter V-16 is tuned to produce 1,577 horsepower, a full 97 more than in the Bugatti Chiron, and Bugatti claims that the $8.9-million Centodieci will go from 0-62mph in 2.4 seconds, 0-124mph in 6.1 seconds, and 0-186mph in 13.1 seconds. Based on the Car and Driver testing of the Bugatti Chiron, the Bugatti Centodieci could reach 124 mph in 5.7 seconds and 12.9 seconds, respectively.
The Bugatti Centodieci gets the 8.0-liter W16 engine, which produces 1600 bhp, and can reach 0 to 100 km/h in 2.4 seconds. The car has an 8.0-liter W16 engine, which Bugatti says produces 1,600 horsepower. Bugatti says the car weighs 44 pounds lighter than a Chiron, can reach zero to 62 miles per hour in 2.4 seconds, and has an electronically limited top speed of 236 miles per hour. The Centodieci is 20 kilograms lighter than the Bugatti Chiron, and has a quad-turbocharged W16 8000 cc (8.0 L; 488.2 cu in) engine, which is rated at 1,176 kW (1,600 PS; 1,578 hp) at 7000 rpm.
The Bugatti Centodieci is a very limited supercar, priced at $8.8 million, based on the Chiron and inspired by the EB110. A fantastic choice considering that this super-exclusive pays tribute to a supercar from before VW, Romano Artioli. Bugattis chief designer, Achim Anscheidt, has also given Stephan Winkelmann, who became Bugattis chief executive last year, the responsibility for deciding on limited-run special cars, with Bugattis latest limited-run hypercar following Divo and the unique La Voiture Noire.
While there is no official connection between modern-era Bugattis and the EB110, a link between the Centodieci and EB110 meant it was the place a small contingent of journalists, including C/D, were bought to get their first look at the new cars. Someone had one of the nearly-perfect prototypes in fabrica blue, so Bugatti applied that same colour scheme on an exclusive version of Bugatti Centodieci. The reason for this is because his client also has EB110 GT with EB110 Blue. The exceedingly rare Bugatti Centodieci was designed as an homage to the legendary 1990s Bugatti Supercar, and looks utterly beautiful finished in the iconic EB110 blue colour of the Bugatti.
The very first example of the super-exclusive Bugatti Chiron–finished in EB110 Blue–pays tribute to the signature color of the 1990s supercar it inspired, whilst matching with the owners own Bugatti EB110 GT. The first example is finished in Bugatti Bleu, the color also used on the legendary EB110, with unique wheels painted EB110 Silver. The first production examples left Bugattis plant finished in the classic Blue of the EB110, with the wheels being the Sport Silver of the EB110. The $8.9M Centodieci was unveiled in 2019 to celebrate the original EB110 (Centodieci is Italian for 110), and the car is just the latest in the growing lineup of contemporary coach-built specials built around the Bugatti Chiron, starting with the Divo unveiled in 2018.
