Bugatti recently took the uber-expensive Centodieci to the Nurburgring for testing and YouTuber Misha Charoudin had the exclusive opportunity to ride shotgun in the French hypercar for a flying lap.
While Bugatti won’t be chasing a production car lap record with the Centodieci, it is still extremely quick around the famed German circuit. After all, it features a quad-turbocharged 8.0-liter W16 engine that churns out 1,578 hp. The car also weighs 44 lbs (20 kg) less than a standard Bugatti Chiron and can hit 62 mph (100 km/h) in 2.4 seconds and continue through to a 236 mph top speed.

Throughout the lap, the Bugatti test driver behind the wheel takes some of the ‘Ring’s corners at very impressive speeds although it is obvious that he wasn’t pushing the car to its absolute limits. During a couple of sections at the track, the car exceeds 250 km/h while on the main straight it breezed past 310 km/h without breaking a sweat.
Bugatti unveiled the Centodieci back in August 2019 as an homage to the EB110. Just 10 examples are being built and despite each carrying a price tag of €8 million ($9.7 million), all were sold before the car was even shown to the public.
Most of the changes made to the Centodieci are limited to the bodywork and include all new panels, as well as distinctive LED headlights and LED taillights. The French hypercar also includes a large, fixed rear wing and a more pronounced diffuser than regular Chiron models.
