Go For An Onboard Lap Of The Nurburgring In A Bugatti Centodieci

Bugatti recently took the uber-expensive Centodieci to the Nurburgring for testing and YouTuber Misha Charoudin had the exclusive opportunity to ride shotgun in the French hypercar for a flying lap.

While Bugatti won’t be chasing a production car lap record with the Centodieci, it is still extremely quick around the famed German circuit. After all, it features a quad-turbocharged 8.0-liter W16 engine that churns out 1,578 hp. The car also weighs 44 lbs (20 kg) less than a standard Bugatti Chiron and can hit 62 mph (100 km/h) in 2.4 seconds and continue through to a 236 mph top speed.

Throughout the lap, the Bugatti test driver behind the wheel takes some of the ‘Ring’s corners at very impressive speeds although it is obvious that he wasn’t pushing the car to its absolute limits. During a couple of sections at the track, the car exceeds 250 km/h while on the main straight it breezed past 310 km/h without breaking a sweat.

Bugatti unveiled the Centodieci back in August 2019 as an homage to the EB110. Just 10 examples are being built and despite each carrying a price tag of €8 million ($9.7 million), all were sold before the car was even shown to the public.

Most of the changes made to the Centodieci are limited to the bodywork and include all new panels, as well as distinctive LED headlights and LED taillights. The French hypercar also includes a large, fixed rear wing and a more pronounced diffuser than regular Chiron models.

$5.6 Million, 1,479 HP Bugatti Divo Goes All-Out At The ‘Ring

It doesn’t make much sense to be testing the Divo at the track after presenting it two years ago and commencing deliveries back in April, but for whatever reason, this is exactly what Bugatti did, and we cannot complain, as we don’t often get a chance to check out such a rare beast in action.

Based on the same platform as the Chiron and featuring unique styling, the Divo boasts improved aerodynamics that have resulted in an extra 198 pounds (90 kg) of downforce. It boasts improved cooling, upgraded brakes, four-tailpipe exhaust system and is 77 lbs (35 kg) lighter than the ‘regular’ hypercar.

The Divo is powered by the Chiron’s W16 engine, with 8.0 liters in displacement and no less than four turbochargers. It still pumps out 1,479 HP (1,500 PS / 1,103 kW) at 6,700 rpm and 1,180 lb-ft (1,600 Nm) of torque between 2,000 and 6,000 rpm, which is identical to the Chiron. The output is channeled to both axles via the seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, and the 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) sprint takes only 2.4 seconds. Should you find a straight road long enough with no speed limit, you will eventually see 236 mph (380 km/h) on the speedometer.

The fuel consumption may interest no one who can afford to blow €5 million ($5.6 million) on a set of wheels, but it is WLTP-rated at a combined 12.9 mpg US (18.3 l/100 km), although you will have to be very gentle on the throttle, otherwise it will return 5.3 mpg (43.3 l/100 km).

Described as “Bugatti’s first coach-built hyper sports car of the 21st century”, the Divo is limited to only 40 units, and all of them have been spoken for.
