After undergoing extreme tests of more than 50,000 kilometers on road and track, fine-tuning the aerodynamics in the wind tunnel and evaluating its performance on roads at -20 degrees Celsius and up to 45 degrees Celsius, Bugatti is ready to deliver the first of ten Centodieci units. This exotic model was presented during 2019, that is, we have been years without knowing what would be of its production, until now.

This number one car stands out for the Bugatti Bleu blue color, the emblematic color of the model in which this super car is inspired.

Likewise, the combination of blue and silver -EB110 Silver- for the wheels of the first unit of the Centodieci is no coincidence; it was the request of the owner who also owns an EB110 finished in the same iconic colours.

Inside, the $8.3 million Centodieci is once again inspired by its prestigious predecessor, but reinvigorated for the modern age of hypercars. It has a checkerboard-like quilted pattern on the seats, headliner, door panels, center console, and floor mats.

Despite the many curves and joints, the pattern lines up perfectly in the interior areas. The process of creating the interior of the Centodieci alone takes around 16 weeks to complete, including a day dedicated solely to meticulously examining the seats.

 

 

Powered by the iconic 8.0-litre W16 engine producing 1,600hp, the Centodieci accelerates from 0-100km/h in 2.4 seconds and has a top speed of 380km/h.

Adding to this explosiveness, Bugatti chassis engineers worked hard to refine the supercar's handling and produce a uniquely dynamic Bugatti experience behind the wheel.

On the heels of its world premiere at California's Monterey Car Week at Quail in 2019, the year of Ettore Bugatti's 110th anniversary, the ten highly exclusive Centodieci units were tallied.

Since then, the EB110 is now more desirable than ever as values are reaching all-time highs at auction, a validation of the supercar's unique recipe.

For example, on March 5, 2022, RM Sotheby's auctioned off an exceptionally rare 1994 EB110 GT prototype on Amelia Island, Florida for a record price of $2.1 million.

Previously, on February 2, a 1994 EB110 GT fetched a record price of €1.8 million in Paris. Twenty-four hours later, bidding concluded for a 1996 EB 110 GT at €1.8 million at a Bonhams auction.
