Bugatti Begins Deliveries Of The Inimitable Centodieci

The Bugatti Centodieci was revealed in August of 2019, but those who were willing to spend the ludicrous amount of $9 million on the car are yet to receive their prized special edition supercars. Deliveries were meant to begin in 2021, but the pandemic pushed timelines back for pretty much every manufacturer on the planet, which meant that development had to wait. Bugatti has been giving us regular updates on the special supercar, of which just 10 examples will be produced, and its grueling testing program finally came to an end late last month. With that, the first customer example has finally been delivered.

Bugatti recently announced that the interior of the car alone took an entire year to develop, so the lucky owner of the first customer Centodieci must be thrilled that they will finally be able to see that workmanship up close. It's no wonder that Bugatti chose to build this particular model first; the body was specified in EB110 Blue, further reinforcing the relationship between the Centodieci and its inspirational forebear. Interestingly, the Campogalliano facility where the EB110 was built would become known as the Farbricca Blu, or blue factory, and was painted the same hue. The EB110 was revealed in this gorgeous shade too.

Unsurprisingly, the owner of this car with its EB110 Blue paint and EB110 Sport Silver wheels owns an EB110 GT in the same configuration. Inside, the Centodieci is again inspired by the EB110. A "quilted, chessboard-like pattern found on the seats, roof liner, door panels, center console, and floormats was first established in the EB110," and this exquisite craftsmanship in the Centodieci's cabin takes a full 16 weeks to complete, with one full day allocated solely to meticulously examining the seats.

"After two years of relentless development, we have refined the Centodieci to the standard our customers expect of all Bugatti models," noted Bugatti Automobiles president, Christophe Piochon.
