Sorry, folks: new R135-million Bugatti Centodieci is already sold out
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.

Powerful Bugatti Centodieci Revealed
Bugatti’s latest creation, the Centodieci, which pays homage to the EB110 of the '90s, has been revealed at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance over the weekend.
Taking inspiration from the Chiron and the Bugatti EB110 Super Sport (produced between 1991 and 1995), Centodieci looks menacing. The most recognisable throwback to the EB110 Super Sport is its wedge shape and the 5 cut-outs seen behind the windows, as well as that large rear wing, which undoubtedly keeps the vehicle glued to the road at speed.
Talking about speed, the Centodieci features a W16, quad-turbocharged 8.0-litre engine which produces stellar outputs of 1 176 kW and it will smash zero to 100 kph in just 2.4 seconds and go on to reach a top speed of 420 kph. 200 kph comes up in just 6.1 seconds while getting to 300 kph will take just 13.1 seconds. Top speed is electronically cut off at 380 kph.

Bugatti won't accept request for special projects, says boss
£7.4m Centodieci limited-run hypercar project was triggered by Bugatti's designers, not a wealthy collector's desires
Bugatti won't join the likes of Ferrari in building one-off specials for specific clients, according to the man in charge of such projects.
The sold-out Centodieci, unveiled during California's Monterey Car Week, reaffirmed Bugatti’s commitment to modern coachbuilding. It was created for collectors, not by them, and the car maker won’t deviate from this approach. Pierre Rommelfanger, Bugatti’s head of one-off and few-off projects, told Autocar why.
Rommelfanger and his team travel to car-related events around the world to meet Bugatti’s most important customers and listen to their feedback. These conversations often provide the company with inspiration, but Rommelfanger stressed that his team ultimately decides what to build. He wants to ensure each one-off or few-off project fits squarely into Bugatti’s strategy.
He ruled out taking requests from clients. So even the wealthiest collector can’t travel to Molsheim with a suitcase full of money and drive home in the four-door, Dakar-ready Chiron Sport of his or her dreams. Achim Anscheidt, Bugatti’s head designer, echoed Rommelfanger’s comments.

Mr Hypercar: the man behind the Bugatti EB110
If there’s one thing that many of the world’s most coveted hypercars have in common, it’s Loris Bicocchi, the man who helped bring them to life
Lots of automotive engineers have worked for more than one brand, but few have a CV boasting as many highlights as Loris Bicocchi’s. The Italian has worked for Lamborghini, Pagani, Koenigsegg, KTM and Dallara. But it is his connection to two different eras at Bugatti that led to the chance to talk about his career.
When modern-era Bugatti showed us the EB110-inspired Centodieci, it effectively crossed the streams; the original car was produced when Bugatti belonged to Romano Artioli, that firm going bankrupt in 1995. Bicocchi worked on that project as chief test driver and also performed the same role for the Volkswagen-era Veyron and Chiron.
While showing journalists around the abandoned EB110 factory at Campogalliano, Bicocchi admits his emotions from that era are still raw.

Cristiano Ronaldo bags ultra-rare, R160 million Bugatti Centodieci - report
Football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo recently became the world’s first billionaire footballer, and now it appears he is splashing out with an incredibly rare and expensive Bugatti.
According to motori.corriere.it, the Juventus player has become one of only ten people in the world who will be allocated a Bugatti Centodieci.
Inspired by the EB 100 supercar of 1991, the Centodieci costs a whopping 8 million euro (which is around R160 million at today’s exchange rate), but the soccer star will at least be able to get to his matches at lightning speed.
The Centodieci is powered by a more potent version of Bugatti’s 8-litre W16 engine, with this version producing 1176kW at 7000rpm. The limited edition hypercar is also 20kg lighter than regular Chirons, allowing for a zero to 100km/h sprint time of 2.4 seconds, while 200km/h comes up in just 6.1s.

This is the first prototype of the £9m Bugatti Centodieci
Only ten will ever exist, each a homage to the Nineties EB110
That great lump of unobtanium scaffolding pictured above will eventually Megazord into a) a rolling homage to Roman Artioli’s underappreciated EB110 from the Nineties, and b) something capable of inflicting a Streetfighter II-style ‘Perfect’ on your wallet.
That said, it’ll also deliver a hadouken on your senses too, because it is the Bugatti Centodieci. And though sculpturally it is a brilliant reimagining of the car that kept Bugatti in the hypercar game, mostly it’s really, really fast. Chiefly because it’s more powerful than the Chiron from whence it came (1,578bhp plays 1,479bhp), and 20kg lighter.
Revealed back in the summer of 2019 when human interaction was acceptable, the Centodieci formed a part of Bugatti’s slew of limited editions (the others being the La Voiture Noir and Divo). Each represented a different philosophy. Each was based on the Chiron.

Bugatti Centodieci successfully clears 300 km/h wind tunnel testing
The Bugatti Centodieci, which was revealed as a limited edition tribute to the EB110, has successfully completed its wind tunnel testing at speeds of 300 km/h. This test was conducted by a 6 840 kW engine that drives an eight-metre propeller which generates a permanent intensive airflow that is powerful enough for an airplane to take-off.
“We use this to simulate the airflows under the vehicle and in the wheel wells, and then precisely tune the Bugatti Centodieci,” explains André Kullig, Technical Project Manager for one and few-off projects at Bugatti.
The driveshafts of the Bugatti Centodieci were dismantled ahead of testing in order to prevent the external drive of the wheels from transferring any forces into the vehicle. The car is then fixed with nothing but four small pins in the underbody and its height is varied according to the testing plan.
“It makes no difference to us engineers whether we are developing a hyper sports car for one, ten or 500 units – the effort is the same, as we have and want to meet, even exceed the quality and safety standards applicable to mass production,” explains Kullig.
In the wind tunnel tests, Bugatti’s engineers check the airflow on and around the Bugatti Centodieci at a variety of speeds. Starting at 140 km/h, they use a standard setup to determine a benchmark figure for comparison with other Bugatti hyper sports cars. They then run various tests up to the test bench’s maximum speed.

8.0-litre quad-turbocharged, 1176kW: Sculptural beauty meets iconic power in the Bugatti Centodieci
• The Centodieci uses a quad turbocharged W16 engine with an output of 6 840kW.
• It is limited to 10 units, all of which have already been sold.
• The model successfully completed wind tunnel testing at speeds of 300km/h.
If there's one automaker that defies the realms of speed and performance, Bugatti is one of the top choices in the hat.
Their latest offering, the Centodieci, pays a mighty tribute to the EB110 of the early '90s that was considered the fastest and most extraordinary supercar of its time.
Just a bit of background, the EB110 featured a carbon monocoque, a quad-turbocharged mid-mounted V12 engine that sent 405kW to all four wheels, running to top speeds of more than 350km/h – a feat which was unattainable by other sports cars of that time.
Its flat front construction and smaller horseshoe shape means the 1 176kW hypercar is firmly planted on the ground even at devastatingly high speed.

Time to gawp at the Bugatti Centodieci doing hot-weather testing
Yep, even £9m hypercars limited to ten need a proper 50-degree test programme. Apparently
A three-week vacation in America driving Bugattis. Sounds like the dream, huh? And it probably is, though this was no holiday, rather some stern hot-weather testing for a bunch of engineers working on the new Bugatti Centodieci.
Yep, if the Chiron Super Sport is just a little too common for your tastes, the limited-to-ten, £9m Centodieci ought to answer your concerns. Inspired by Bugatti’s Nineties leviathan – the EB110, a quad-turbo nutcase sold before anyone had uttered the word ‘hypercar’ – it ought to be a truly special thing.
We dearly hope its ten owners do more than scurry it away in storage to be brought out for a tootle to the nearest concours event. Not least Bugatti’s given it the full engineering job, including that three-week sojourn to 50-degree Arizonian heat.
In fact, it’s been subjected to even greater scrutiny than the Chiron, of which 500 are being made. “The Centodieci’s newly developed bodywork, airflow changes, and its engine bay cover manufactured from glass mean the temperature behaviour is quite different, especially in such extreme heat conditions,” says André Kullig, the car’s project manager.
The car's fitted with 200 sensors to feed the data back to Bugatti HQ. Not everone on the test team gets to top up their air miles...
“This hot weather endurance test is fundamental for us," Kullig continues, "as it is the only way we can ensure that the Centodieci, like every Bugatti model, offers a flawless, reliable, and safe drive in extreme heat – even though our customers may never subject their cars to such extreme conditions.”

Bugatti Centodieci completes hot-weather testing
Limited-run Chiron spin-off finishes three weeks of extreme heat development in the US
The Bugatti Centodieci has completed the hot-weather testing phase of its development programme ahead of customer deliveries beginning next year.
The £7.4 million tribute to the Bugatti EB110 was subjected to "extreme" temperatures approaching 50deg C, as a 27-strong team of engineers ran checks on the car’s electrics, telemetrics, radio frequencies, fuel system and air conditioning system.
Starting in California, the team’s route followed the Central Pacific Highway to Arizona via San Diego, before "rapid" ascents up Mount Lemmon tested the hypercar at an altitude of 2800 metres.
The Centodieci was also tested in "low-speed stop-start traffic", left stationary under the sun with the air con at full blast and even driven at 198mph on a closed road.
It was accompanied throughout by three Chiron Pur Sports and four Chiron Super Sports.
“Testing in the hot, dry desert is a huge help for us in the development process,” explained Stefan Schmidt, one of Bugatti’s engineers in the Overall Vehicle Development department.

Bugatti Centodieci nears production after 50,000km of tests
Limited-run Chiron spin-off was driven 1200km per day to gather data in a multitude of environments
The Bugatti Centodieci will soon go into production ahead of customer deliveries beginning this year, the production-based prototype having completed more than 50,00 kilometers (31,068 miles) of endurance tests.
Bugatti says the 1577bhp Bugatti Chiron-based hypercar was driven 1200km (745mi) per day so that technical teams could gather data on handling routes, circuits, highways and in city traffic. The testing concluded at the Nardò test track in southern Italy.
The £7.4 million tribute to the 1991 Bugatti EB110 was driven “day and night” by three drivers on rotation who tested for “atypical noises, movements and irregularities” in wet and dry weather.

Bugatti Never Forgot About The $8.8 Million Centodieci
The EB110-inspired supercar first surfaced in 2019 before seemingly disappearing. Now Bugatti says it's finally ready for production.
Do you remember the Bugatti Centodieci? It was first seen around these parts in 2019, a time before the pandemic, when overpriced supercars were barely remarkable. The Centodieci was going to be a few-off, limited to just ten examples, all starting around at least eight million euros. After almost three years, Bugatti finally said Monday that it was ready to enter production of the Centodieci. Bugatti will make ten total, all this year, and they will each start at eight million euros, or around $8.8 million.
I am struck, first off, that Bugatti didn’t take the delay as an excuse to raise the price, because if you were willing to pay eight million euros in 2019, you’re probably willing to pay nine or ten million in 2022. In any case, Bugatti says that, in the meantime, it has been busy testing the **** out of the car anyway, driving the car over 50,000 kilometers, or a little over 31,000 miles, at Porsche’s track in Nardò, Italy.
The Centodieci covers up to 1,200 kilometers each day, interrupted only by technical checks, refueling, and driver changes. Throughout the entire time, Bugatti’s engineers analyze the engine and vehicle data and make adjustments where necessary. “We assess every element on the vehicle one last time, paying particular attention to functionality and durability before the first Centodieci cars go into production,” explains Carl Heilenkötter – project manager responsible for one-off and few-off projects at Bugatti. All components must interact perfectly with one another and be capable of withstanding any kind of overloading. They must also harmonize in a stable and safe manner even when subjected to the most severe handling situations.
