First, the bad news. You will never see one. Unlike the road-friendly Chiron on which it is based, the Bugatti Bolide is a 310 mph 1,845 bhp track-only machine, which means it is destined for a life in air-conditioned garages to ensure the value of resale always go north. Think of it as a toy. Put it in the box and you can sell it for a big profit in a decade or two. Take it out and play with it? Well, who wants a used toy? So enjoy the photos, because this is the closest you can ever get.
It took a lot of work to squeeze 300mph out of the Bolide. When Bugatti launched the Veyron in 2005, it seemed utterly easy, almost as if the engineers had stumbled upon the formula for the world’s fastest car by accident, creating 403 mph through a combination of luxury leather, ample legroom and three radiators. Not so the Bolide.
The 8-liter W16 engine is still there, but almost everything else has gone out the window to bring the weight down to a measly 1,240kg. “We wondered how we could realize the powerful W16 engine as a technical symbol of the brand in its purest form, with only four wheels, engine, gearbox, steering wheel and the only luxury, two seats,” explained Bugatti President Stephan. Winkelmann. So it’s basic, but that’s the joy of doing something ‘track only’, you don’t have to worry about little annoyances like airbags, minimum ride height and going through the MOT on a soggy Sunday afternoon. You only need 4 wheels, two seats and a motor.
Armed with a massive air intake, a blue tipped rear diffuser, and a carbon bodywork, the Bolide runs on normal fuel, but requires 110-octane racing fuel to get the really big numbers, powering four new turbochargers that power the blue. French racing. and black aerodynamic chassis from zero to 310 mph while it is recommended to wash your hands to prevent the spread of Covid: 20.16 seconds.
Fast, light and crazy, the Bugatti Bolide is still in the prototype stage, which in this case means that yes, it is built, but they do not say how much it will cost. But whatever the final price, it will easily cost you more than £ 3 million and of course a brand new air-conditioned garage.
