The new Bugatti Centodieci by Cristiano Ronaldo

Less than a month ago the news of a future collaboration between Nike and Bugatti leaked regarding a special Mercurial Vapor colorway dedicated to Cristiano Ronaldo and his passion for supercars. In fact, the CR7 fleet will gain even more prestige when the Juventus center forward receives, in 2021, the new Bugatti Centodieci ordered last March.

Now the 2.8 million euro silver Bugatti Chiron is still the most prized piece of the Portuguese's incredible collection - which also includes a Ferrari Tour de Force, a Rolls Royce, a McLaren - but the "record" it will last only a short time: the Centodieci was in fact produced in a very limited edition and was reserved for only ten selected customers.

It is a crazy machine that takes its name from the Bugatti EB110, produced in the early 90s, and was built to pay homage to the 110 years since the founding of the French company. The new Centodieci is based on the Chiron, but weighs 20 kg less and the 8.0-liter W16 engine develops 100 horses more than the latter, for a total of 1600 HP. The top speed is electronically limited to 380 km/h. The 0-100 km/h is covered in 2.4 seconds, the 0-200 in 6.1 seconds and the 0-300 in 13.1 seconds.

The car was totally distorted both in the chassis and in the bodywork, with a wedge style. In general, the car has more squared lines than the Chiron, with various elements that recall the old EB110 such as the front with thin headlights and the typical horseshoe-shaped central air intake which is smaller, in the sides with the socket air with 5 circles positioned behind the windows that recall those of the EB110 SS, fixed black wing with mechanical adjustment and LED headlights that recall the ventilation grid of the EB110.

Although CR did not have the opportunity to choose the color of its future jewel - since the only paint available for this model is the white one - the price remains absolutely out of the market for any common mortal: the Bugatti Centodieci in fact cost him 8 million euros, a price that the black and white number 7 will in any case have considered appropriate to best celebrate its second Italian championship.
