A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for supercar collectors is on the horizon as RM Sotheby’s prepares to auction an ultra-rare Bugatti Centodieci in Paris on February 5, 2025. With only 10 examples ever produced and a staggering price tag of $25 million, this 2022 model is set to shatter records in the luxury automotive world.
The Bugatti Centodieci, named after the number 110 in Italian, is a tribute to the iconic EB110 and EB110 SS models. It was created to commemorate Bugatti’s 110th anniversary, honoring the brand’s illustrious history since its founding by Ettore Bugatti in 1909. First unveiled in 2019, the Centodieci features exclusive coachwork inspired by its predecessors, including a wedge-themed design, small horseshoe grille, narrow headlamps, and a fixed rear wing.
This particular example, one of the fastest and most exclusive supercars in the world, has only 272 miles on the odometer and has had just one careful owner. Known for its blistering performance, the Centodieci is powered by a quad-turbocharged W16 engine that produces a mind-blowing 1,600 horsepower. The car rockets from 0-60 mph in just 2.4 seconds and boasts a top speed of 240 mph.
Crafted with a carbon fiber body, the Centodieci is lighter than other Bugatti models, enhancing its agility and speed. As a result, it stands as one of the most distinctive iterations based on the Chiron platform. All 10 units were reserved before the car’s official debut in August 2019, with the final example delivered in December 2022.
While Cristiano Ronaldo famously owns one of these masterpieces, this Paris auction marks a rare chance for collectors to acquire another. Its limited production, groundbreaking engineering, and heritage-inspired design cement the Centodieci as a pinnacle of automotive exclusivity. The auction is expected to attract fierce bidding and will undoubtedly capture the attention of car enthusiasts and investors worldwide.
