Witness the Bugatti Centodieti being carved out of wood.

Despite its price of $8.9 million, the Bugatti Centodieti has already sold out. So one person decided to build his own, albeit a little smaller, out of wood.

The mini Centodieti (which looks about the size of a child's power wheel car), documented in several videos on the YouTube channel "ND - Woodworking Art," was carved from wood like the sculptures you find at craft fairs and roadside gift stores.

This is not the first time a car featured on this channel has been built. You can check out videos of the Ferrari LaFerrari Aperta, the BMW 328 Homage Concept, and even a wooden iPhone and machine gun.

The St. Dieci can move under its own power thanks to a small electric motor and features a complex front end featuring stacked exhaust tips, a large rear spoiler, and a Bugatti grille flanked by horizontal, blade-like elements, the main full-size version of which details are captured.

The real St. Dieci, unveiled at the 2019 Monterey Car Week, is a tribute to the Bugatti EB110 and the product of a brief attempt to revive Bugatti in the 1990s before the brand was acquired by the Volkswagen Group. Although this Bugatti revival, spearheaded by Italian businessman Romano Artioli, failed, the EB110 was one of the most impressive supercars of its time and brought the Bugatti name back from the dead.

"Centodieci" means "110" in Italian, a reference to the EB110's name, which commemorated the 110th birthday of its founder, Ettore Bugatti. The car is based on the Bugatti Chiron, but with different bodywork inspired by the 1990s car's name and a W-16 engine that produces 1,577 hp, 97 hp more than the Chiron. Development work is still ongoing, but Bugatti plans to deliver the first of 10 customer cars in 2022.
