Bugatti Centodieci And EB110 SuperSport Stun Crowds At Villa d’Este

Bugatti brought two very special cars to the exclusive Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este event in Lake Como, Italy over the weekend.

Taking pride of place in the automaker’s display was the limited-edition Centodieci that was first unveiled a little over two years ago during the Monterey Car Week. Production of the car will be capped at just 10 units with the first customer deliveries to begin in 2022.

The Centodieci is based on the Chiron and features an 8.0-liter quad-turbocharged W16 engine that has been fettled to produce 1,577 hp, 99 hp more than the Chiron. Of course, the biggest difference between the Centodieci and the Chiron is the former’s bespoke bodywork that takes inspiration from the iconic EB110.

Fittingly, Bugatti also brought along a particularly special EB110 SuperSport to Villa d’Este. This year marks the 30th anniversary of the French supercar and the example displayed was originally owned by Romano Artioli, the Italian entrepreneur who relaunched Bugatti in 1987.

“I left my heart in my Supersport. No other car gives the same sensation of power, control and safety in every road condition as the EB110 – and with such beautiful style. I could not be more proud for “her” to be at the Concours d’Elegance in Villa D’Este,” said Artioli.

Artioli was pivotal in the creation and development of the SuperSport version of the EB110. His car was originally painted in a shade of silver dubbed Grigio Chiaro metallizzato, although it has since been repainted in blue.

“The Centodieci Concorso d’Eleganza at Villa d’Este is one of the jewels in the crown of the automotive season,” Bugatti president Stephan Winkelmann said.

“After the event was lost to the pandemic in 2020, it is even more special for Bugatti to return to the wonderful location of Villa d’Este and present our Centodieci to customers and friends of the brand from all around the globe. And of course, the event is even more exciting with the presence of the personal Bugatti EB110 Supersport “America” owned once by Romano Artioli himself. This seminal supercar represents the second period of Bugatti’s history, and gave our designers and engineers the inspiration for the Centodieci.”
