Bugatti Centodieci

The audience saw the Bugatti Centodieci prototype for the first time in 2019. The car is in the test phase, and only ten units of this limited edition supercar will be delivered to buyers in the middle of next year.

The tests take place in the southwestern United States, and the last few photos show the Centodieci test model in the company of the Chiron Pur Sport and Chiron Super Sport models.

The tough tests that Bugatti models undergo are nothing new for the famous car company. After testing at temperatures above 50 degrees Celsius, Bugatti engineers equipped the production version of Centodieci with additional air vents that allow better cooling.

The Bugatti Centodieci is powered by an 8.0-liter quad-turbocharged W16 engine which delivers a total of 1578 hp (1,176 kW). It reaches 62 mph in just 2.4 seconds with a top electronically limited speed of 240 mph (380 km / h).

Before production begins, the car also needs to pass a long-term endurance test at high speeds. The test will take place on the famous Nardò test track. In addition, the test model needs to cover about 300,000 kilometers on European roads.

Low fuel consumption vehicles

With rising oil prices in the world, fuel consumption has become relevant as one of the significant characteristics of vehicles. However, there are also owners of cars with ICE who are not concerned about the fuel consumption of their vehicles.

At the end of the 20th century, cars with a consumption below 5 l / 100 km were Suzuki Swift, Daihatsu Charade and Citroen AX . Today, some other cars have taken over that role. Despite technological developments, their consumption has not dropped significantly.

According to the British magazine What Car?, which made a list of 10 fuel-efficient cars, there are only a few family vehicles among them.

In 10th place is the European bestseller, Dacia Sandero 0.9 TCe (90 hp) which consumes 4.45 l / 100 km. Reasonable price and the possibility of gas installation make this model probably the best choice in times of crisis. In 9th place is the Seat Leon 1.0 TSI (95 hp) with the same consumption as the Sandero, but with a significantly higher price.

Among the top 10 are small city cars such as the Kia Picanto, VW Up, Škoda Citigo 1.0 (60 hp), etc., all with an available consumption of 4.2 to 4.3 l / 100 km. In third place is the Up with a weaker engine (75 hp) and 4.21 l / 100 km. At the top of the list is the Suzuki Ignis 1.2 with a consumption of less than 4 l / 100 km.

When it comes to diesels, the ones with the lowest consumption are the Opel Astra 1.6 CDTI with an average of 4.18 l / 100 km, the Seat Leon 1.6 TDI with a minimum of 4.3 l / 100 km, which is more than the Škoda Superb 2.0 TDI with 150 hp.
