Over the past 17 years, the modern Bugatti Automobiles SAS has built several limited-production variants of its two legendary hypercars, the Veyron and the Chiron, many of them paying tribute to a driver or model from the company’s prewar golden era. But in August 2019, at the exclusive The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering, the Molsheim-based hypercar manufacturer unveiled something even more special—the Centodieci.

For the first time, Molsheim was officially acknowledging the importance of the brief but beautiful Italian foray into the Bugatti genealogy, Romano Artioli’s early 1990s embodiment of the long-dormant Bugatti marque. Named for the number 110 (in Italian), the Centodieci was not only a tribute to Artioli’s iconic Bugatti EB110 and EB110 SS models, but a commemoration of the marque’s 110th anniversary, having originally been founded by Ettore Bugatti in 1909.

The chassis and drivetrain of the Centodieci were closely derived from the concurrent Chiron, while boasting a more highly developed version of the 8.0-litre quad-turbocharged W-16 engine, now making 1,600 PS (a specification soon followed in subsequent Chiron variants). In addition to the uplift in power, the newest Bugatti shed 20 kilograms of unladen weight, and featured revised steering algorithms for more dynamic handling. With these improvements, the Centodieci could reach 100 km/h from a standstill in just 2.4 seconds, with an electronically limited top speed of 380 km/h—astonishing performance figures that remain competitive today.

In tribute to the great EB110, the Centodieci featured entirely novel coachwork that hinted at its forebear’s wedge-themed design motifs, including a small horseshoe grille, pointed front splitter, extremely narrow headlamps, circular inlets in the C-pillars, and a fixed rear wing. Just 10 examples of the Centodieci were slated for production, and by the time of Bugatti’s August 2019 introduction of the model, all 10 cars had been reserved by eager buyers.

With the final example delivered in December 2022, the Centodieci remains one of the rarest and most distinctive of the special models based on the Chiron, featuring exquisite coachwork and heritage associations. The fascinating tribute to the Italian Bugatti supercar justifiably sits at the top of Molsheim’s celebrated line of heritage-based models, sure to enjoy continued appreciation within the hypercar market.

As the Bugatti brand now embarks on a new hybridized V-16 era, limited edition W-16-powered models are spotlighted as the most significant creations of a pivotal era in the 125-year history of the marque. For two decades, the W-16 was at the apex of internal combustion development and remains one of the most complex road car engines ever built.

As clarified by a purchase contract and Bugatti specification sheet on file, chassis number 006 was ordered new in August 2019 by a Swiss collector. The magnificent Centodieci was finished in a two-tone livery of Quartz White and Grey Carbon over an interior trimmed in Beluga Black and Gris Rafale leather with Black Anodised trim parts and Glacier door sills.

The Bugatti has been ideally maintained and only minimally driven during its sole ownership, displaying an incredibly low 437 kilometres at the time of cataloguing. Having enjoyed such little use, it is understandable that the Centodieci has never undergone a service appointment, although bidders should note that Bugatti’s four-year manufacturer’s warranty went into effect upon delivery in September 2022, implying that the car remains eligible for service under warranty until September 2026.

As an extremely rare and distinctively styled speed machine built during Molsheim’s modern era, one that furthermore has accrued only 437 kilometres, this Bugatti is undoubtedly one of the most highly desirable luxury/performance cars in today’s market. Ideally suited for the dedicated marque collector or hypercar completist, the Centodieci beautifully evokes one of the marque’s most celebrated chapters, sure to strike the hearts of enthusiasts far and wide.
