Exceptional layout and considerable energy had been the hallmark capabilities of Bugatti motors for round a hundred and ten years. The French producer of hyper sports activities motors now constantly pursues this route in addition with the brand new special-version Bugatti Centodieci. In addition, Bugatti is echoing its latest records with an special and fantastic small series."With the Centodieci, we pay homage to the EB110 remarkable sports activities vehicle which became constructed withinside the Nineties and could be very plenty part of our tradition-steeped records," says Stephan Winkelmann, President of Bugatti. "With the EB110, Bugatti catapulted itself to the pinnacle of the automobile global another time after 1956 with a brand new model." It became a essential meantime step for the manufacturing facility that became newly based in Molsheim in 1998, taking Bugatti again to its roots in France, and the primary hyper sports activities vehicle of present day times - the Veyron."We are pleased with our lengthy Bugatti records, of which the EB110 could be very plenty a part. That's why we are celebrating a reinterpretation of this fantastic car with the Centodieci - Italian for a hundred and ten," says Stephan Winkelmann.
The EB110 became constructed in Campogalliano, Italy, however from the very outset it by no means denied its French influences. Former proprietor Romano Artioli opened the manufacturing facility on Ettore Bugatti's 109th birthday - 15 September 1990. Artioli made a planned preference in choosing Campogalliano, a small city in Emilia Romagna. The region had a key gain withinside the Nineties: it became withinside the catchment vicinity of numerous Italian sports activities vehicle brands, so Artioli became effortlessly capable of recruit skilled personnel for his project. Artioli provided the remarkable sports activities vehicle EB110 to the general public on Ettore Bugatti's one hundred and tenth birthday - therefore the sort designation: EB for Ettore Bugatti, a hundred and ten for his one hundred and tenth birthday.
There are many regions wherein the brand new special-version Bugatti Centodieci echoes the previous remarkable sports activities vehicle of the Nineties. "The venture became now no longer to permit oneself to be captivated an excessive amount of via way of means of the layout of the anciental car and paintings completely in retrospect, however as an alternative to create a present day interpretation of the form and era of that time," says Achim Anscheidt, Head Designer at Bugatti. Even sportier and greater severe than the Bugatti Chiron and Divo hyper sports activities motors, but stylish and undying just like the La Voiture Noire, it's miles a one-of-a-type Bugatti for the enthusiast."We confronted some of technical demanding situations in phrases of the improvement and layout of the Centodieci," says Achim Anscheidt.
The EB110 is a totally flat, wedge-formed and graphically quasi -dimensional remarkable sports activities vehicle of the overdue 1980s. "Transporting this conventional inspect the brand new millennium with out copying it became technically complicated, to mention the least. We needed to create a brand new manner of mixing the complicated aerothermal necessities of the underlying Chiron era with a totally special aesthetic appearance."The flat, horseshoe-formed radiator on the the front exhibits its intensity best from the aspect view, with the newly evolved, deep-seated the front spoiler and the three-phase air intakes offering a great match. The the front of the Bugatti Centodieci drops very low. The iconic Bugatti horseshoe has been decreased accordingly, at the same time as the Bugatti emblem Macaron sits at the hood, that is interrupted on the centre via way of means of a black element. "This allowed us to re-light recollections of EB110," says Achim Anscheidt. The optimised the front phase with the prolonged the front splitter and the airflow thru the hood in addition enhance the vehicle's aerodynamics.The the front is subordinated to the typically low geometry of the car, regardless of its authentic, primary cooling surface. The newly evolved, complicated and really slim headlamps with incorporated LED daylight hours strolling lighting offer the best match.
Thanks to the newly evolved lighting fixtures factors, we had been stylistically loose withinside the the front and rear sections to pay respectful homage to the EB110 at the same time as on the equal time transposing this attractive visible memory into present day era," says Achim Anscheidt."We included the wedge-formed layout withinside the improvement manner however we took it in a brand new direction," says the designer. Instead of copying the conventional Italian wedge wherein the muscle runs from the rear to the the front wheel, suggesting a dynamic bounce ahead, Bugatti moves out on a brand new route withinside the Centodieci. The in any other case dominant Bugatti line, the C line at the B pillar, offers manner to a brand new layout Significantly smaller than the Chiron, 5 spherical air inserts - located withinside the shape of a diamond - make certain enough air consumption for the long-lasting 16-cylinder engine. In this manner, Bugatti has added ahead the visually jumping wedge of the EB110 SS into a brand new millennium.Instead of the photo -dimensional rear of the EB110 with its pill-formed tail lighting, the Bugatti Centodieci is based on a huge air outlet establishing for greater green engine thermals, bringing to existence the flying tail mild factors in photo kinship with the EB110. It took numerous months to broaden answers to make certain a balanced temperature. As withinside the EB110, the engine is visible at the back of a obvious glass surface. The rear is fashioned right into a unmarried air flow hole, characterized via way of means of the 8 rear mild factors, 2+2 exhaust tailpipes located on pinnacle of every different in a black matt anodised end and a overall performance diffuser to enhance downforce.
The overhanging rear wing is completely connected withinside the fashion of the authentic EB110 SS. This will increase the downforce. Downforce is supported via way of means of the aerodynamic tailgate and a laminar flow-optimised rear window.Instead of the V12, the Bugatti Centodieci capabilities the long-lasting eight.zero-litre W16 engine with 1,176 kW/1,six hundred hp at 7,000 rpm. An extra air inlet withinside the vicinity of the oil cooler reliably regulates the temperature of the overall performance-greater engine. The Centodieci sprints from zero to a hundred km/h in 2.four seconds, to 2 hundred km/h in 6.1 seconds and to three hundred km/h in thirteen.1 seconds; the pinnacle velocity is electronically reduce off at 380 km/h. "It's now no longer simply the pinnacle velocity that makes a hyper sports activities vehicle. With the Centodieci, we another time display that layout, excellent and overall performance are simply as important," says Stephan Winkelmann.
Compared to the Chiron, the Centodieci saves 20 kilograms of unladen weight. Among different things, a light-weight windscreen wiper and stabilisers made from carbon are used. This permits a sensational energy-to-weight ratio of simply 1.thirteen kilograms in keeping with horsepower. "The accelerated energy and decrease weight in addition enhance overall performance - for even higher acceleration at excessive speeds. The Centodieci gives our clients an stepped forward energy-to-weight ratio or even greater dynamic handling," says Stephan Winkelmann.The new paint tone fits this. "With the conversation paint end in white, we are demonstrating a effective assessment with the La Voiture Noire - the black vehicle simply provided in March: absolutely opposing but associated forces, like yin and yang," says Stephan Winkelmann. He says that this became what maintains to set Bugatti aside after a hundred and ten years.Naturally, clients may have their special-version Bugatti Centodieci painted withinside the Bugatti coloration in their preference.
The small series, restrained to 10 motors (and already offered out) and hand made in Molsheim, France, might be introduced in years at unit costs beginning at EUR eight million plus VAT. After its quick length in Italy, Bugatti has now been again at its antique headquarters in Molsheim, France, for nearly 20 years. This is wherein Ettore Bugatti produced the first actual motors that bore his call on the cease of 1909.
