The star of the retro show in Pebble Beach, USA, this time was not some automotive veteran, but the Bugatti Centodieci hypercar. Moreover, the new Bugatti coupe surprised not only with its design and specifications but also with its price.
You can buy the Bugatti Centodieci for $8.9 million, and only 10 of these cars will be produced. Ironically, according to Jalopnik, a fighter jet is sold for less in the USA! In Florida, an old F-16 from 1980 is offered for $8.5 million.
Of course, the F-16 is much faster but also more expensive to maintain (especially since it’s used). Though you can’t call the Bugatti hypercar slow. It features an improved 1600 hp version of the W16 engine from the Bugatti Chiron and is capable of accelerating to 100 km/h in 2.4 seconds. Its top speed is limited to 380 km/h (compared to 2124 km/h for the F-16).
As for the design, as they say, – to each their own.
Some prefer the clean lines of the F-16, while others favor the design of the Centodieci in the spirit of the famous Bugatti EB110. By the way, this is not the most expensive model of the brand; there is a more exclusive Bugatti.
