This 2022 Centodieci, is set to be auctioned in Paris on February 5.

It’s only done 272 miles and has had just one careful owner.

The Bugatti Centodieci is ranked as one of the fastest supercars in the world, capable of going from 0-60mph in just 2.4 seconds.

First produced in 2019, it is named after the number 110 in Italian.

The Centodieci is a tribute to the Bugatti EB110 and EB110 SS models and a commemoration of the marque’s 110th anniversary, having originally been founded by Ettore Bugatti in 1909.

It has a carbon fibre body which makes it lighter than other Bugattis and a quad-turbo W16 engine cranking out a staggering 1,600 bhp.

It is being sold by RM Sotheby’s, as reported by Luxury Auto News.

Its listing reads: “In tribute to the great EB110, the Centodieci featured entirely novel coachwork that hinted at its forebear’s wedge-themed design motifs, including a small horseshoe grille, pointed front splitter, extremely narrow headlamps, circular inlets in the C-pillars, and a fixed rear wing.

“Just 10 examples of the Centodieci were slated for production and by the time of Bugatti’s August 2019 introduction of the model, all 10 cars had been reserved by eager buyers.

“With the final example delivered in December 2022, the Centodieci remains one of the rarest and distinctive of the special models based on the Chiron, featuring unique coachwork and heritage associations.

“The fascinating tribute to the Italian Bugatti supercar justifiably sits at the top of Molsheim’s celebrated line of heritage-based models, sure to enjoy continued appreciation within the hypercar market.

“As clarified by a purchase contract and Bugatti spec sheet on file, chassis number 006 was ordered new in August 2019 by a Swiss collector.

“The magnificent Centodieci was finished in a two-tone livery of Quartz White and Grey Carbon over an interior trimmed in Beluga Black and Gris Rafale leather hides with Black Anodised trim parts and Glacier door sills.

“The Bugatti has been ideally maintained and only minimally driven during its sole ownership, displaying an incredibly low mileage of just 437 kilometres at the time of cataloguing.

“Having enjoyed such little use, it is understandable that the Centodieci has never undergone a service appointment.

“Although bidders should note that Bugatti’s four-year manufacturer’s warranty went into effect upon delivery in September 2022, implying that the car remains eligible for service under warranty until September 2026.

“As an extremely rare and distinctively styled speed machine built during Molsheim’s modern era, one that furthermore has accrued only 437 kilometers, this Bugatti is undoubtedly one of the most highly desirable luxury/performance cars in today’s market, bar none.

“Ideally suited for the dedicated marque collector or hypercar completist, the Centodieci beautifully evokes one of the marque’s most celebrated chapters, sure to strike the hearts of enthusiasts far and wide.”
