Just ten examples of the new special-edition Bugatti Centodieci will be produced … and they’ve all already been sold.
Set to be built in Molsheim, the ten units will be delivered over the next couple of years with prices starting at €8-million (that’s around R135-million) plus VAT.
“With the Centodieci, we pay homage to the EB110 super sports car which was built in the 1990s and is very much a part of our tradition-steeped history,” said Stephan Winkelmann, president of Bugatti.
“With the EB110, Bugatti catapulted itself to the top of the automotive world once again after 1956 with a new model. We are proud of our long Bugatti history, of which the EB110 is very much a part. That’s why we’re celebrating a reinterpretation of this extraordinary vehicle with the Centodieci – Italian for 110,” explained Winkelmann.
Bugatti describes its new Centodieci as “even sportier and more extreme” than the Chiron and Divo.
It features the familiar 8,0-litre W16 engine, offering all four corners 1 176 kW at 7 000 r/min. Bugatti says the Centodieci sprints from standstill to 100 km/h in 2,4 seconds, to 200 km/h in 6,1 seconds and to 300 km/h in 13,1 seconds. Top speed is electronically limited to 380 km/h.
Compared with the Chiron, Bugatti says the Centodieci saves 20 kg of unladen weight, thanks to items such as a lightweight windscreen wiper and stabilisers made of carbon.
