Bugatti Bolide Is A Model Ready To Rev To With 1578 Horsepower in Tow

Bugatti is making the conscious decision to produce the Bolide. The vehicle itself is an upgrade from the original concept from December 2020. The vehicle was originally to be an 1825-horsepower concept car. Since then, the announcement as of recent would stun the audience. Being that the new Bolide has a pretty decent 1578-horsepower, similar to Bugatti models Centodieci and the Chiron Super Sport.

Bugatti making the conscious decision to save a production iteration of the Bolide is certainly a hypercar that would allow billionaires to buy their own 1825-horsepower track-only vehicle. This was made known at the Quail Motorsport Gathering. However, there’s a catch.

Bugatti will hereby only create forty of the Bolide models.

This won’t be a pretty penny, however. In actuality, the cost of this project will be upwards of $4.8 million. With that to consider, the Bolide may as well be one of the priciest track special cars insofar of hypercar production. Would you be deadset to be a gentleman driver for a top-flight GT3 championship?

Certainly, the Bolide retains the aero-sculpting exterior, with a skeletal bow being engulfed by a carbon-fiber cover. As for the stern, there would only be a dual-element wing and a couple of exhaust pipes. This is not too dissimilar from competitor Lotus Evija. Bugatti isn’t making a huge, hairy deal out of what the all-wheel-drive will be but certainly, there is a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission.

In which way, the car will contain a curb weight of around 3,200 pounds. The Bolide is not too dissimilar from the FIA safety standards. It also is likely to enjoy the usage of a fire extinguisher as well as a bladder fuel tank. As well as a six-point safety harness. To be fair, the Bolide is able to hit a full European-grade racetrack in only five minutes and twenty-three seconds.
