This meeting brings together Centodieci with EB110 Supersport, the car Bugatti’s design team looked to for inspiration in the creation of its new coachbuilt hyper sports car. Designed and produced during the Romano Artioli era of Bugatti in the 1980s and 1990s, the EB110 Supersport was a lighter, more powerful iteration of the EB110 GT, complete with new styling changes and a fixed rear wing for additional downforce.
The similarities are immediately obvious. The Supersport was fitted with five instantly recognizable cooling holes in the B-pillar, necessary to feed air to the 3.5-liter quad-turbocharged V12 engine. That air then washes through the glass-covered engine bay and exits via ten slots in the rear. In the Centodieci, these elements are reinterpreted and modernized, with air entering through five cooling ports in the apex of a newly shaped Bugatti C-line, over the W16 engine – which receives an EB110-inspired glass cover – and out through the rear, including in between a new light signature that mimics the vents on the EB110 Supersport. At the rear, an enlarged rear diffuser houses vertically stacked quad exhausts, in a modern homage to the EB110 Supersport’s twin pipes.
Each and every single detail must not only be beautiful in design but also able to deliver at levels of road-going performance that even the revolutionary EB110 Supersport could not match. The 1,600 PS Centodieci sprints from 0 to 62 mph in 2.4 seconds, to 124 mph in 6.1 seconds and to 186 mph in 13.1 seconds; the top speed is electronically limited to 236 mph.
