Bugatti Centodieci
The Bugatti Centodieci 2020 is a new and expensive hypercar produced in a very limited edition. The new car is a tribute to the historical Bugatti EB110 SS. The word Centodieci itself translates as “a hundred and ten”. The car name seems to refer us not only to the legendary ancestor, but also to the venerable age of the company.
Moreover, the French company thus honors the creators of the EB110 SS Romano Artioli and Marcello Gandini personally. It is logical that the appearance and specifications of the new sports coupe are much better than the “old” one, which is also reflected in a very high price. The whole model range is Bugatti.
Exterior
Although the main merit of all French cars is their technical equipment, the appearance of cars also deserves attention. The novelty is very bright, stylish and aggressive. Judging by the photos of Bugatti Centodiechi, it is quite similar to the Bugatti EB 110 SS in the shape of many details. It is the front of the car that looks more aggressive and bright. Here the company’s engineers worked so as to create a great aerodynamic performance, but at the same time the hypercar would still look stylish.
Initially you can pay attention to a very sloping windshield, which takes a lot of space. Due to the fact that the engine in the hypercar is placed in the rear of the body, the hood is not equipped with large dimensions. It is placed at a slant and stands out with a lot of relief. The hood itself has a small air intake of unusual shape. Under it there is a place for the aggressive head optics, made in the form of very thin horizontal stripes.
The roadway is illuminated by laser lights. The entire body of the novelty has a large amount of wave-like relief. In the lower part of the bumper, there is a branded main air intake. It has a very large size, larger than in other cars of the company. Its engineers also slightly recessed it into the body. The central air intake has a very fine mesh and provides better cooling under the hood.
There are also two more cutouts, which occupy more space. The specialists installed them on the sides. They are necessary for the air access to the braking system, which needs an abundance of cooling. An unusual exterior received a diffuser, which also improves aerodynamic performance. From the side the Bugatti Centodieci 2020 hypercar looks no less stunning. The car has fairly small windows, connected to the windshield with a barely visible rack, which is painted in black gloss.
Further behind the window is an interesting panel that has openings through which cold air flows into the engine compartment of the vehicle. On top of that, the top has thin but long rear-view mirrors, the front of which is almost entirely covered with turn signals. The doors of the car boast a heap of relief, exactly as at the very bottom of the “Frenchman”. Separately, we want to note the presence of aggressive sills, decorated with an insert, which is also painted in black gloss.
The new sports coupe from Bugatti stands out for its sporty, impetuous and modern appearance, which will be in demand in the automotive circle for years to come.
The rear of the hypercar fits perfectly into the overall exterior concept. Like all cars that have a rear-engine layout, this car has a very wide luggage compartment. It has a long and strongly sloping roof, which has a small glass, a small amount of relief, as well as air intake cutouts for improved cooling of the power unit. The roof ends with a large adjustable spoiler, necessary for improved machine stability, aerodynamics and braking.
The rear bumper has a wide stripe of parking lights, placed from edge to edge. Underneath it there is room for interesting-looking air intake cutouts, separated from each other by thin body strips. At the very bottom, the engineers installed a massive carbon fiber diffuser, equipped with four pipes of the exhaust system, split in pairs and set vertically.
Interior
Although during the presentation of the car the interior was not shown, judging by the rather monotonous solutions of its predecessors, we can assume that the new model will be equipped with the well-known unchanged form of the torpedo and implementation of the central console. Experts of the French company every year flatly refuse to remove this visor above the “dashboard”, notwithstanding the fact that it has already become hopelessly outdated long ago.
We should expect that the Bugatti Centodieci 2020 two-seater cabin will traditionally be notable for its minimalism. Only the central console will compactly house everything the owner will need. It makes no sense even to tell that the seats are very comfortable and have a super-holding shape at such speeds.
Specifications
Powertrain
Many people are interested in the Bugatti Centodieci’s characteristics, which is quite expected. This hypercar is powered by Bugatti’s proprietary 8-liter 16-cylinder quad-supercharged engine, which has been boosted to 1,600 horsepower (1,600 Nm).
Transmission
For such a powerful engine, engineers provided a seven-speed robotized gearbox, as well as a four-wheel drive system with the possibility of an electronic locking rear differential. Thanks to this, the car takes only 2.4 seconds to reach the speed mark of 100 kilometers per hour.
Its top speed is claimed to be 380 km/h, but if you remove the electronic collar, you can accelerate up to 420 km/h. Already in 6.1 seconds the car will reach 200 km/h, and the third hundred conquered in 13.1 seconds.
Running gear
Exact data is still scarce, but we know that the hypercar has adaptive shock absorbers, having electronic tuning. The braking system has powerful mechanisms, allowing to stop this fast car confidently. As you can see, the technical part and the maximum speed of the Bugatti Centodieci are amazing!
Features and prices
Bugatti Centodieci price turned out to be big – 8,000,000 euros. But it is also clouded by a very limited edition of the hypercar – only 10 copies. All the novelty production is made only by hand and the debut versions will be available in 2021.
Comparison with competitors
In this challenging niche, the Bugatti Centodieci 2020 may have Lamborghini Aventador, some Koenigsegg cars, Pagani, as well as various Ferrari cars as competitors.
