CAR 2020 Bugatti Centodieci Bugatti is paying homage to two milestones with the creation of the spe- cial-series Centodieci (Italian for 110) —1991’s historic EB110 (which was created to commemorate the 110th anniversary of founder Ettore Bugatti’s birth) and the 110th anniversary of the start of operation for the company he founded, Automobiles Ettore Bugatti. “With the Centodieci, we pay homage to the EB110 super sports car which was built in the 1990s and is very much a part of our tradition-steeped his- tory,” says Stephan Winkelmann, President of Bugatti. “With the EB110, Bugatti catapulted itself to the top of the automotive world once again after 1956 with a new model.” The Centodieci design is reminiscent of the EB110, taking the then ground-breaking shape and technology and bringing it to an automotive world that has evolved so quickly in the nearly three decades since, making it sportier than Bugatti’s latest offerings, the Chiron and Divo, and more ex- treme and elegant than Bugatti’s La Voiture Noire. 110
