Bugatti Centodieci Extreme Cold Weather Test

Bugatti engineers spend a week checking various parts and components of the Centodieci1 in the climate chamber. “Like any other Bugatti, the Centodieci has to perform impeccably at all temperatures, be it 50 degrees Celsius or minus 20 degrees Celsius. We owe this to our quality pledge and to our customers,” says Carl Heilenkötter, Bugatti’s Technical Project Manager for one-off and few-off projects. “With the climate chamber, we can replicate all kinds of different tests and precisely compare the results again and again.” The heat and cold tests performed in the climate chamber are therefore of fundamental importance to engineers as they are the only way to ensure that the Centodieci will function safely at all times – even if customers will perhaps never expose their vehicles to such extreme climate conditions. One of the many cold tests conducted concerns the side windows. When it comes to measuring side window excessive force limitation, even a small production run of ten examples have to comply with all
