French manufacturer of high-performance luxury automobiles, Bugatti, is best known for creating some of the world’s most fastest, most expensive, and most exclusive automobiles in the entire world. As for the car shown here, this is the 2020 Bugatti Centodieci Concept, and it demonstrates what will eventually become a 10-unit run of an extremely special model that pays homage to the Bugatti EB110. The Centodieci also celebrates the company’s 110th anniversary, and offers some unique design elements and features that aren’t found on other high-end Bugatti models such as the Chiron, or even the Divo. The Centodieci is lighter than the Chiron, and takes some design cues from the 90’s EB110 model, notably with the presence of five round air-intakes on the side of the car, which is very reminiscent of the EB110 SS. The rear of the car displays eight seperated light strips or clusters for tail lights, as well as a menacing matte black quad-tip exhaust pipes. The Centodieci was designed by Bugatti’s design director, Achim Anscheidt, and reportedly, thanks to computer-assisted design technology, the design process for this special model only took around 6 months to complete. That being said, this car is certainly a nice differentiation from the standard Chiron, and brings forward some unprecedented ideas and features that simply cannot be found anywhere else. Just the other day, the first ever functional Centodieci prototype was spotted testing at the famous Nüburgring circuit, which goes to show the development process is underway and we soon might be able to see some production-ready examples! This is a car I’m truly excited to learn more about and see when customer examples begin to be built, and I’m looking forward to the future of the Bugatti brand! WhT do you think of the Centodieci?
