More power, lower limit

The Centodieci makes 100 PS more than a standard Chiron but is limited to 380 km/h instead of 420. That is not a mistake. The reshaped bodywork that gives it the EB110 look also creates more drag and different airflow, so Bugatti set the limiter lower to keep it safe. You get sharper looks and a quicker sprint, and you give up a bit at the very top.

About the Centodieci

Centodieci means one hundred and ten in Italian, and that is the whole point. It is a tribute to the EB110, the car Bugatti built in Italy in the early 1990s, and it arrived for the brand's 110th birthday.

Underneath it is a Chiron, but almost nothing you can see is shared. The nose is flatter, the tail is squared off, and the five round air intakes on each flank are lifted straight from the EB110. Bugatti had to redo the aerodynamics from scratch to make the older shape work at modern speeds.

Only ten were made, at eight million euros each, and every one was spoken for long before the first was delivered. Building ten cars this different from the donor car is arguably harder per unit than building five hundred Chirons.

The last one was handed over in December 2022.
