Bugatti Centodieci

The lines & the trimmings on the white one.. I might just be forced to start making love to inanimate objects, or alternatively go slightly mad..
 
This £9m Bugatti Centodieci was built to look like a Le Mans racer

One of only 10 Centodiecis configured to look like ’94 endurance racer by US owner

Bugatti has revealed that a US Centodieci owner has configured their £9m, one-of-ten hypercar to look exactly like the Bugatti EB110 LM that entered the 1994 Le Mans 24hr race.

Entered, but never finished. For while that ’94 entry ran as high as sixth overall, a tyre failure less than an hour before the end caused Jean-Christophe Bouillon to crash out. No matter, not least because the EB110 LM was a special bit of kit, as is – as though you needed reminding – the Bugatti Centodieci.

The latter was built as a homage to the former, to recognise the underrated excellence of that car and as a testament to the achievement of Bugatti’s former owner Romano Artioli. (Artioli had collected a roster of the supercar industry’s superstars back then to help build the Bugatti journey: Miura designer Marcello Gandini, Lamborghini engineer Paolo Stanzani, and the father of the Ferrari F40 Nicola Materazzi, to name but three.)

“Great cars have great stories to tell,” Bugatti said upon the car’s reveal. “But it is all the more remarkable when a car has such a fascinating story that the owner of the modern day version references and pays homage to its great story its predecessor by configuring it in the absolute same style.”

US-Owned Bugatti Centodieci Gets Epic EB 110 Le Mans Racer Spec

The Bugatti Centodieci came into the world as a homage to the iconic EB 110 but one of the owners wanted to take their hypercar to a new level and mimic that of a race car.

A US Centodieci owner has configured their one-of-ten hypercar to look exactly like the Bugatti EB110 LM that entered the 1994 Le Mans 24hr race.

To achieve the desired look, the French car manufacturer painted the exterior of the Centodieci in a shade of blue and then applied many of the same decals as the EB 110 endurance racer. While it’s unclear if these are simply stickers or have been painted on, we can see all of the same sponsor logos as the race car had, including many from Michelin, BBS, Esso, Ultron, Monte Carlo TMC, and JVC.
