Bugatti Centodieci Features – The Centodieci which translates to 110, calling attention to the Bugatti brand’s 110th anniversary is based on the Chiron but has an all-new body that evokes the spirit of the EB110SS supercar that was commissioned while Bugatti was in the hands of its Italian former owner – hence the Italian name. With a retro design and more power, the Centodieci is a very different beast to the Chiron in terms of looks but isn’t too much different underneath. The interior is pretty much identical too, with just a few changes to let you know which Bugatti model you’re in.
Bugatti does not ascribe a model year to its custom exotics beast. However, there have been no significant changes between the car revealed in 2019 and the one that Bugatti will issue out to its clients, other than the continuous refinements that Bugatti has employed during pre-production testing. Like other Bugattis, this one is dominated by its monstrous 8.0-liter quad-turbo W16 engine that produces nearly 1,600 hp.

The Centodieci is marginally wider and lower than the Chiron on which it is based, and features an overall width of 80.6 inches, with a height of 47.3 inches. Overall length and wheelbase are unchanged at 178.9 and 106.7 inches respectively, but thanks to more extensive use of composite materials, the Centodieci is a little lighter than the 4,400-pound Chiron, weighing in at 4,356 lbs.
Its design is intended to be a modern interpretation of the EB110’s design. As such, ultra-slim LED headlights in narrow slits feature at the front, along with a relatively minuscule horseshoe grille with horizontal strakes on either side. Below is a massive carbon spoiler, while the profile features redesigned wheels that look at home on a concept-like vehicle such as this. The blacked-out A-pillars create a visor-like look for the glasshouse, behind which cheesegrater vents channel air to the motor that features a unique glass cover. At the back, a massive LED light arrangement makes up the taillight setup, with a huge wing atop the rear. Below is an enormous diffuser, while double-stacked exhaust tips finish off the unique design.
The Cabin Design
The Centodieci has an almost identical interior to that of the Chiron, with only some minor trim pieces, accents, and logos changing. What this means is that a pair of luxurious heated seats keep occupants in supreme comfort, with plenty of headroom and legroom for even six-footers. The seats are also supportive on long journeys, but all-round visibility is poor, although that shouldn’t be a problem in a car that will likely only ever get moved to be displayed
No official cargo volume figures are provided for the Centodieci, but you can rest assured that the practicality levels of this car will be inversely proportional to its price. In the regular Chiron, you get just two cubic feet of volume, and the Centodieci is unlikely to blaze a new trail in this department. In the cabin, a decently sized glovebox is accompanied by a spot in the center console for your phone and keys. You also get closable door storage compartments, but not much else.
As with other features of the car, the infotainment system in the Centodieci is likely very similar to that in the Chiron, meaning that there is no central display. Instead, details on media will be displayed on one of the TFT screens that flank the central speedometer. The Chiron’s sound system with diamond membranes is likely to be included too and is made by the Accuton brand. Wi-Fi compatibility and Bluetooth should feature, but Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration systems are likely absent.
Engine Performance and Transmission

Bugatti Centodieci Features – The same 8.0-liter W16 quad-turbo engine that powers the Chiron does duty in the Centodieci, but here it makes 99 hp more, although the torque figure is unchanged. The same seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission sends 1,578 hp and 1,180 lb-ft of torque to the permanent all-wheel-drive system. While only the very elite club of owners and Bugatti’s test drivers will have had an opportunity to drive the Centodieci, we suspect that it will respond very similarly to the Chiron, with surprisingly good throttle response and a very smooth kind of power delivery. This makes the car easy to drive in traffic, while still offering incredible performance. Speaking of performance, the Centodieci is quicker in a straight line than the Chiron, getting from 0-124 mph in just 6.1 seconds – 0.4 seconds quicker than the Chiron, although the 0-60 time is still “less than 2.4 seconds”. Top speed is lower, however, than the Chiron’s 261, and is limited to 236 mph.
The Centodieci Safety
Bugatti Centodieci Features – As standard, the Chiron features a rearview camera, parking sensors, frontal, side-impact, and curtain airbags, as well as rain-sensing wipers.
The Centodieci is the kind of rare, expensive machine that will likely never be crashed intentionally, at least not by a rationally thinking owner. Fortunately, although there are no crash test results, Bugatti crashed one Chiron multiple times with no weakening of the carbon body.
