Bugatti will build just 10 examples of the Chiron-based Centodieci with prices starting at €8 million ($9.7 million) a pop, meaning very few will ever have the opportunity to see one in the flesh. A Centodieci model made from wood is even rarer.
This Centodieci model was created by YouTuber ND – Woodworking Art who has a wealth of experience creating scale models of real-life vehicles out of wood. This isn’t some pint-sized model like a Hot Wheels car either and is comparable in size to the ride-on vehicles made for young children.

The 17-minute video details the entire build process of the car, starting out with the wooden chassis before the craftsman behind this stunning creation cuts the wheels and carves them with simple hand tools. Work is then done on the propulsion system which takes the form of a small electric motor powering the rear wheels.
With the model up and running, the difficult task of crafting the complex bodywork begins. Bugatti really went to town on the exterior design of the Centodieci to ensure it looks significantly different than the Chiron. By using nothing more than a small chainsaw, the YouTuber was able to mimic the same overall shape of the Centodieci before using a chisel and a hammer to refine and perfect the design. The model is so accurate and has been so well made that it even features a fully functional interior carved entirely from wood.
