The Bugatti Centodieci is a bold step away from Bugatti’s design DNA - Yanko Design

Over the past couple of years, and couple of cars, Bugatti'due south congenital a rather potent visual linguistic communication with its cars, ranging from the Veyron to the Chiron, Divo, and even the La Voiture Noire from final year… that'south until the surprise unveiling of their latest and boldest auto ever, the Centodieci.

Unveiled to marker the company's 110th twelvemonth anniversary, the Centodieci is based on the Chiron, and is an incredibly limited-edition tribute to the EB110 from the 1990s. Limited to only ten units, the Centodieci is a 1600 hp powerhouse with an 8-liter W16 engine and an acceleration of 0-62 miles in a staggering ii.4 seconds… all this while existence 44 pounds lighter than the Chiron, attributable to a heavy dependence on carbon-fiber components.

It isn't the Centodieci's performance (which is definitely worth writing home about) that really catches our eye hither, but rather its design. Created as a tribute to the EB110, Bugatti'due south first modern hypercar, the Centodieci is a very witting difference from the style Bugatti's cultivated over the decades. Aside from the horseshoe-shaped grille on the front, there isn't much that one would say is 'innately Bugatti-esque' about the car in the first identify. The C-shaped pillar is so abstracted it's barely there, and features an unusual cheese-grater detail on it (Are cheese-graters the new trend this year? What am I missing here?)

The car'south headlights still have the mean, discerning stare that you could see in the Chiron, but are a tad more stray and menacing. The auto's logo finds itself beingness placed on the hood likewise, instead of within the iconic horseshoe grille. The coupe comes with the absence of a traditional A-pillar besides, as the windscreen sprawls all the mode from the front across to the sides, providing a panoramic view for the driver and the rider seated beside. The interiors are still under evolution, say the Centodieci'due south design squad, simply volition for near parts follow the pattern cues of the Chiron. Over all, the Centodieci, pretty consciously adopts a much more angular pattern language as a tribute to the Marcello Gandini-designed Bugatti EB110, every bit opposed to the organic styling of Bugatti'southward design DNA developed over the Veyron, Chiron, Divo, and even the La Voiture Noire in the last few decades. The car, even equally a thing of fact, chooses to be boldly different in its color besides, making itself available exclusively in white!
