Latest Bugatti Centodieci Finished In Silver Perfectly Matches This EB110 Supersport

As the production run (or slow walk) of the ten units of the Bugatti Centodieci continues, the Molsheim-based brand is set to reveal the different specs of the EB110-inspired hypercar. The latest example is a silver-colored Centodieci, matching an original EB110 Supersport from 1992, which joined its descendant for an exclusive photoshoot.

The lines of the Centodieci are already closely resembling the EB110 from the Romano Artioli era of Bugatti. However, the similarities are even more obvious with a matching spec. Despite not sharing any actual parts, the Chiron-based Centodieci looks like an EB110 from the future, thanks to countless references that are visible from every possible angle.

This particular Bugatti EB110 Supersport, a lighter and more powerful version of the EB110 GT, is the source of inspiration for the fixed rear wing and the round holes on the B-Pillar of the Centodieci. Other common styling cues include the “horseshoe” grille flanked by horizontally arranged bumper intakes, the headlights positioned close to each other, the naca-style ducts, the glass cover for the engine, and the taillight graphics.

Achim Anscheidt, Bugatti Design Director, admitted the importance of the EB110 in the history of the brand: “Some have argued that without the EB110, the Bugatti brand would not be in the position it is today”. He mentioned Giampaolo Benedini – the architect of the Bauhaus-inspired Campogaliano factory who is credited for finishing the design of the EB110, based on Marcello Gandini’s initial proposal. He also mentioned the recently departed Nicola Materazzi, an “engineering genius” behind the development of the EB110.

In terms of performance, the thirty-year gap between the two hypercars is evident. The EB110 SS was fitted with a tuned version of the quad-turbo 3.5-liter V12 producing 603 hp (450 kW / 612 PS). As impressive as those numbers were back in 1992, they are no match for the monstrous quad-turbo 8.0-liter W16 engine found in modern Bugatti models, which produces 1,578 hp (1,177 kW / 1,600 PS).

While the older model is significantly lighter and boasts a 6-speed manual transmission, no one can argue with the insane performance the Centodieci offers. 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) comes in 2.4 seconds and, if given enough room, the Centodieci won’t stop accelerating until it hits 380 km/h (236 mph). The EB110 Supersport on the other hand needs 3.2 seconds for the same sprint and can reach 355 km/h (220 mph), which are truly pathetic numbers. Don’t light the torches just yet, we’re only joking.

Notably, the EB110 SS was produced in a limited number of 30 units, which means it outnumbers its modern reinterpretation by three times. This might explain that despite its fame, collectability, and rarity, it is still cheaper than the €8 million Centodieci in the used car market. The specific example of the EB110 SS that participated in the photoshoot is the Speed World Record car, owned by Turbocollection.

This is the third different spec of the Bugatti Centodieci we have seen to date, following the white-painted presentation vehicle from August 2019, and the blue-painted first production model from June 2022. Bugatti has pledged to complete customer deliveries of all ten units of the Centodieci by the end of the year. If you were among the ten lucky owners of the sold-out hypercar, which color combination would you choose?
