Centodieci: A unique design paying homage to a legend
Although Bugatti is considered French, “centodieci” means 110 in Italian, the country of origin of brand founder Ettore Bugatti. The Centodieci is far more than just a variation of the Chiron. Every element of this hypercar has been redesigned to pay homage to the legendary EB110, the supercar that epitomized Bugatti’s boldness in the 1990s. Notably, it features five small oval air intakes behind the side windows, a direct nod to its illustrious predecessor. Its front bumper, horseshoe grille, and sharp LED headlights diverge from the fluid lines of the Chiron. The rear is equally striking, boasting a prominent fixed wing, unique LED taillights, and a redesigned diffuser. In terms of aerodynamics and performance, this hypercar remains true to Bugatti’s DNA while offering a distinctly individual aesthetic.
Ultra-exclusivity driving up value
Limited to just 10 units, the Centodieci is one of the rarest Bugattis ever produced. The auctioned model, chassis 006, was delivered in 2022 to a Swiss collector. Painted in Quartz White with carbon fiber elements, this jewel features a Beluga Black and Gris Rafale leather interior—a timelessly elegant choice. With only 271 miles on the odometer, this Centodieci is practically brand-new, having left its garage only on rare occasions. Still under warranty until 2026, it could become the crown jewel of a wealthy collector—or, less likely, make a dramatic appearance on the streets of Monaco. However, given its rarity, it’s more probable that it will remain locked away in a private collection, its estimated $16 million price tag further enhancing its aura of exclusivity. Madness! The price alone would be enough to create a crazy collection including Ferraris and Porsches!
A Hypercar leading the auction market
This staggering price places the Centodieci in a league of its own, rivaling unique models like La Voiture Noire, which sold for $18 million. Other cars have already sold for even more, but these are generally competition models with a certain pedigree. By commanding nearly double its original $8.6 million price, it proves that rarity, combined with history and engineering excellence, remains a driving force in the hypercar market. For Bugatti, the Centodieci is far more than a car—it’s a statement of craftsmanship and passion for exceptional automobiles. Whether for its distinctive design or its exclusivity, it perfectly illustrates why certain cars become ultimate objects of desire.
