Under the motto “What if…” Bugatti announced a vehicle presentation in the last few days, which has now culminated in the Bolide. In contrast to the hypercar Chiron, which is deliberately designed for comfort and high speed, the Bolide is intended to deliver top performance on the race track. For this purpose, the power-to-weight ratio was reduced to an extremely impressive 0.67 kilograms per horsepower. The only common features with the Chiron are the eight-liter W16 engine with quadruple turbocharging, the seven-speed double-clutch transmission and the four-wheel drive. However, the engine was given a power boost to 1,360 kW\/1,850 hp and 1,850 newtonmeters of torque. To achieve this, the intake and exhaust systems were de-throttled and new turbochargers with optimized blades were installed. On the other hand, the radical vehicle only weighs 1,240 kilograms. According to internal calculations, the topspeed is over 500 kph (310 mph). A lap time of 3:07.1 minutes is theoretically possible on the 24 Hours of Le Mans circuit, and 5:23.1 minutes on the N\u00fcrburgring Nordschleife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How did the Bugatti Bolide come about?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Stephan Winkelmann, CEO of Bugatti, sums up the history of the Bugatti Bolide as follows: “Bugatti stands for the continuous quest for technological innovations \u2013 in alignment with the company\u2019s brand values of excellence, courage, dedication<\/em>. And Bugatti never stands still. We are perpetually aiming for new and exciting goals, and the question that we always keep in mind is: what if? We asked ourselves how we could realise the mighty W16 engine as a technical symbol of the brand in its purest form \u2013 with solely four wheels, engine, gearbox, steering wheel and, as the only luxury, two seats. Important aspects of our considerations were fine-tuning our iconic powertrain without any limitations as regards the weight-to-power ratio. These considerations resulted in the Bugatti Bolide. An uncompromising experiment, a thoroughbred, a Pur Sang that, in its brute exclusivity, impresses above all with high performance, low weight, and a driving experience in a whole new dimension. Driving the Bolide is like riding on a cannonball.”<\/p>\n\n\n
