Description:
Automakers usually flip to previous glories to attract inspiration for brand spanking new fashions. But the shock for the brand new Bugatti Centodieci, which has simply been unveiled at Pebble Seaside throughout Concours d’Class week, is which former mannequin has performed muse to it: the Centodieci pays homage to the EB110, as its identify (which interprets to “110”) suggests.
Though one of many quickest vehicles of its period, the EB110 has by no means been considered a hit. The Bugatti model had been mendacity dormant for many years earlier than it was revived by Italian businessman Romano Artioli within the late 1980s. An all-new manufacturing facility was constructed at Campogalliano, Italy, close to Modena to make the brand new mannequin, which featured such modern expertise as a carbon-fiber core construction and a 553-hp 60-valve quad-turbocharged V-12.
Timing was not on its aspect. The EB110 launched after the speculative bubble in supercar values had popped, and it all the time struggled to promote. Simply 139 examples had been constructed over the subsequent 4 years till Bugatti collapsed into chapter 11. Volkswagen purchased the Bugatti model in 1998, however the Veyron after which Chiron had no technical relationship to the EB110, and manufacturing was shifted to a different new manufacturing facility in Molsheim, France.
The plant at Campogalliano stays empty and derelict, though vandals are saved at bay by a devoted groundskeeper. When Volkswagen purchased the model, the corporate ordered the huge Bugatti emblem on the aspect of the manufacturing facility to be painted over, however after 20 years it’s now exhibiting by way of once more. Whereas there isn’t any formal hyperlink between fashionable period Bugatti and this former incarnation of the model, the reference to between Centodieci and EB110 signifies that that is the place a small group of journalists, together with C/D, had been purchased to see the brand new automobile for the primary time.
