Bugatti has put its ultra-rare Centodieci hypercar through a series of exhaustive pre-production tests to ensure its quality. Test vehicles have covered over 50,000 kilometers (31,068 miles) in total – we struggle to imagine any of the 10 people who preordered the cars using them nearly as much.
In fact, the safest bet is that most of them, if not all, will put their Centodiecis into climate-controlled storage and keep them as investments. But let us now look at the 10 photos Bugatti posted after wrapping up the tests.
The whole gallery here depicts one and the same test vehicle. We saw it on the Nürburgring nearly a year ago, saw it frozen in a cryo camera, blasted with air in a wind tunnel, and forced to grind its way through a desert area. Bugatti points out that this very example put around 1,200 kilometers on its odometer doing stress tests every living day. These included repeatedly reaching the official top speed of 380 km/h, or 236 miles per hour.
While sporting the iconic appearance of the EB110 supercar from the 1990s, the Centodieci is technically a modified Chiron with a W16 under the hood pumping out 1,600 PS (1,578 hp / 1,177 kW) to all four wheels. The French automaker promises to deliver all ten units before the end of the year.
