In the early 1990s, while Bugatti's Molsheim factory lay dormant, an Italian entrepreneur named Romano Artioli revived the brand with the EB110 - a car so ahead of its time it made contemporary Ferraris look obsolete. When modern Bugatti decided to celebrate its 110th anniversary (hence Centiodieci - Italian for 110), they chose to pay tribute to this often-overlooked piece of their heritage. But this isn't just some retro-styled special edition. While the design might pay homage to Artioli's iconic creation, with its distinctive horseshoe grille, pointed front splitter, and those signature circular air inlets in the C-pillars, the engineering is pure modern Bugatti madness. The W16 engine, already a feat of engineering that makes most rocket scientists scratch their heads, was turned up to produce 1,600 PS - enough power to question the laws of physics. The performance figures read like a typo: 0-100 km/h in 2.4 seconds, 0-200 km/h in 6.1 seconds, and an electronically limited top speed of 380 km/h. Yes, limited - because apparently even Bugatti thinks there should be some limits to insanity. The car is actually 20kg lighter than a standard Chiron (if you can call any Chiron standard), and features revised steering algorithms that make it more dynamic to drive. Though with only 437 kilometers on the odometer, this particular example hasn't done much dynamic driving at all. This car, chassis 006, was ordered new in August 2019 by a Swiss collector who clearly believed in preservation over pleasure. Finished in Quartz White and Grey Carbon over a Beluga Black and Gris Rafale leather interior, it's essentially brand new, having never even needed its first service. It comes with all its original documentation, including the purchase contract and build specification sheet, and remains under manufacturer's warranty until September 2026. What makes the Centiodieci particularly significant is its timing. As Bugatti transitions into its new era of hybrid V16 powertrains, this represents one of the final expressions of the pure W16 engine - an engineering masterpiece that defined the absolute pinnacle of internal combustion engine development for two decades. The W16 was a statement of what was possible when cost and practicality were removed from the engineering brief. The Centiodieci also represents something larger in automotive history - the moment when modern Bugatti finally acknowledged its Italian interlude. While most companies try to edit uncomfortable chapters out of their history, Bugatti chose to celebrate theirs, creating a bridge between Artioli's ambitious but ill-fated venture and the company's current success. In the world of hypercars, exclusivity is everything. But when you're one of just ten examples ever built, marking both Bugatti's 110th anniversary and paying tribute to one of its most celebrated models, you've reached a level of rarity that makes most limited editions look mass-produced. Each detail of the car tells a story - from the EB110-inspired design elements to the ultimate evolution of the W16 engine. At €10-15 million, it's actually starting to sound reasonable. After all, you're not just buying a car - you're buying a piece of Bugatti's history, one that connects its Italian chapter with its modern era, while being rare enough to make even other Bugattis seem common. It's the automotive equivalent of finding a lost Stradivarius that's also a time machine.
