There is no question today of focusing on the reasons why an (extremely) rich collector decided to part with one of the jewels of his collection after only two years. Already because it doesn’t concern us. Then, because we won’t know (Who said “speculation”??). Still it isThis is a very rare Bugatti Centodieci which will have to go under the hammer at the RM Sotheby’s auction house on February 4 and 5, 2025 in Paris. One of the 10 examples of this hypercar unveiled in 2019 and which for the 110th anniversary of the brand incorporated aesthetic elements from its predecessor from the 1990s, the famous Bugatti EB110 from the Romano Artioli era.
Maintenance to be done
Based on the Chiron, the Bugatti Centodieci uses the 8-liter W16 with four turbos developing 1,600 horsepower. Thanks to a 20 kilo lighter weight, and some aerodynamic modifications, the car is capable of 0 to 100 km/h in 2.4 seconds. Its maximum speed is limited to 380 km/h. In detail, this example for sale comes from a Swiss collection. It has chassis number 006 (more precisely VF9SE3V33NM795006), and is finished in a two-tone Quartz White and Carbon Gray livery. The interior is trimmed in Beluga Black leather and Rafale Gray leather.. A cockpit which has undoubtedly not suffered from intensive use on the part of its owner since the Centodieci in question only shows 437 km on the odometer ! Moreover, if you decide to buy it, be aware that it has not yet had any maintenance from Bugatti since its purchase. Maintenance which will be possible under warranty until September 2026, since the 4-year warranty came into force upon delivery in September 2022.
A (very) profitable investment
Now let’s talk price. Because the estimate before the sale is in fact higher than the purchase price of the car. Offered at the time around 8/9 million euros depending on the configuration, the Bugatti Centodieci for sale here is estimated between 10 and 15 million euros. And we can easily expect the auctions to rise even further, due to the rarity of the model and the few opportunities there will be to purchase a copy. Although… Indeed, this is still, to our knowledge, the third Centodieci to be resold. Thus Cristiano Ronaldo, who owns one, announced that he wanted to resell his car in November 2023. In 2022, it was a Japanese dealer who offered one for some 12 million euros. It now remains to be seen at what price this Centodieci will sell, which will undoubtedly confirm, depending on the added value, that it was a very good investment. Or the opposite.
