17-Mile Drive
Every year, car enthusiasts from around the world mark their calendars for Concours Week in August. As the Pacific Ocean crashes against the rugged Californian coastline, the 17-mile Drive transforms into a moving spectacle of automotive excellence. And this year, the event showcased something truly special.
CENTODIECI
Two CENTODIECI models graced the roads, paying homage to Bugatti’s classic EB110. Out of the mere ten units ever crafted, seeing two at once felt like witnessing a piece of history in motion. Introduced as a tribute to the first super sports car of the 20th century, the CENTODIECI boasts an impressive 1,600 PS.
But what really caught the eyes of many was one particular CENTODIECI. It sported the ‘EB110 LM Blue’ livery, an ode to the 1994 EB110S Le Mans car. This particular car stands out in Bugatti’s history as the sole EB110 to have taken on the challenges of the 24 Heures du Mans race.
Evolution of the Supercar Award
It came as no surprise when this automotive marvel clinched the ‘Evolution of the Supercar’ Award at The Quail Motorsports Gathering. This recognition underscores the CENTODIECI’s significance in the automotive realm and solidifies its position in the supercar evolution.

It’s a reminder that while we always look ahead in the world of automobiles, it’s equally important to honor and remember the past.
