Bugatti is celebrating its 110th anniversary by creating a car that pays homage to the 1990s era Bugatti, the EB110.

The Centodieci, which is Italian for "110," was unveiled at the Quail Motorsports Gathering last week. In typical Bugatti fashion, the handmade car will be as rare as it is expensive. Only 10 units will be made, all of which start at 8 million pre-taxed, or $8.88 million.

And they have all already been claimed.

The body and design of the car takes after both EB110 and Chiron, Bugatti's latest car before the Centodieci. Like the 1990s hypercar, the Centodieci has five circular air intakes towards the back of the car to cool the engine.

It also has a transparent glass surface over the engine and, like the Chiron, there is an 8-liter W16 engine underneath.

"Transporting this classic look into the new millennium without copying it was technically complex, to say the least," Achim Anscheidt, head Designer at Bugatti, said in a prepared statement .

Take a look at this instantly iconic Bugatti and see how it compares to its 90s inspiration:
