Bugatti Centodieci (EB110) 1577HP Hypercar HD

Bugatti Centodieci, a 1577-HP Hypercar Inspired by the EB110, limited to 10 special hypercars, priced starting above $9 million, all sold. Although the Chiron is quite the halo car, things move fast in the hypercar sector. Bugatti President Stephan Winkelmann figures that regular internet-breaking one-offs – like ‘La Voiture Noire’ – are a way of keeping the focus firmly on the brand, not to mention lucrative business. It’s a philosophy that served him very well back when he was running Lamborghini. Better still, how about a run of 10 ‘one-offs’, at – gulp – $9m each? Before you begin spluttering invective all over your keyboard, perhaps we could gently suggest that the car you see here, the Centodieci, is more than just a cynical revenue generator. There’s a proper narrative at work here. Bugatti is 110 in 2019, and as part of that it’s bringing the EB110 in from the cold. The Centodieci may be Chiron based but it’s a clear visual homage to its Nineties forebear. “We faced a number of technical challenges in terms of the development and design of the Centodieci,” says Achim Anscheidt, Bugatti’s head of design. “The EB110 is a very flat, wedge-shaped and graphically quasi two-dimensional super sports car of the late 1980s. Transporting this classic look into the new millennium without copying it was technically complex, to say the least. We had to create a new way of combining the complex aerothermal requirements of the underlying Chiron technology with a completely different aesthetic appearance.” Though hardly a continuation car, the Centodieci evokes the EB110 via a clever headlight treatment, and the signature horseshoe grille is smaller. The Chiron’s bold C hoop line is replaced by five round air intakes in a diamond shape that reference the EB110. The new car’s rear end is spectacular, both in terms of its design but also in the effort expended optimising the cooling and aero. Bugatti refers to a ‘flying tail light’ element, which maintains a visual connection to the original while still encompassing the sort of outlet an engine this size needs to operate. The exhaust pipes sit above each other and are finished in an anodised matt black, and there’s a massive, mechanically adjustable rear wing that obviously improves downforce but also connects the new car to the EB110 Super Sport – Bugatti claims similar aero figures to the Divo. The Centodieci is 20kg lighter than a Chiron, and the mighty 8.0-litre produces 1,578bhp. Subscribe: http://www.youtube.com/c/CarsBOOM Music 2: I Love You - Vibe Tracks https://youtu.be/KoouKKrVhUM
