Bugatti Cento Diesi hits 236 mph during pre-delivery inspection.

The Bugatti Centodieti are now ready for delivery, and Bugatti has released a description of the pre-delivery inspection process planned by Bugatti for each of the 10 cars.

Even though production is complete, each Centodieti will be thoroughly checked before it is handed over to its lucky owner. After the paint and interior are covered to prevent damage, each car is handed over to a test driver for a five-hour evaluation.

The cars will be driven 186 miles near Bugatti's headquarters in Molsheim, France, on a variety of roads and surfaces, Bugatti explained in a release. While driving, the driver listens for unusual road and suspension noises, rattles and creaks in the interior trim, and checks for defects in the materials.

Then it's on. St. Diechee is taken to a closed runway, where it is pulled up to 236 mph. It will also be driven at 0-62 mph, high-speed slalom runs, and emergency braking maneuvers.

The Chiron-based special car will then be returned to the Bugatti factory, where defects will be addressed. The car will then undergo a 31-mile final test drive before being approved for delivery.

The 2019 Centodieci is a tribute to the EB110 (Centodieci means 110 in Italian), a supercar produced during Bugatti's brief 1990s revival. Priced at $8.9 million, Bugatti had no trouble filling the 10-car production quota. Buyers had to wait a while, as Bugatti undertook an extensive development process that included hot laps at the Nürburgring and a high-speed run on Italy's Nardo course. Even though it was a limited edition model, the Centodieti had to follow the same procedures as any other production car.
