The $4,300,000 Bugatti Bolide has an ultra-strong chassis under its amazingly designed outer skin. The A-pillars can withstand 7.5 tons of force without a single crack. Deliveries with the outer skin start next year for 40 lucky buyers. We’ve seen the amazing high-tech Bugatti Bolide track car with its amazingly made skin. The 2 X’s for the headlights in the front, the big wing in the back, ahh, just feels amazing to look at the insane engineering of the Bugatti Bolide. Bolide means “race car” in French, by the way.
There are reasons why they are showing us the Bugatti Bolide without its skin. According to Bugatti, they stated that “To be able to design the Bolide to fit as closely as possible around the brand’s legendary 8.0-liter W16 turbocharged engine, it was necessary to develop an advanced new monocoque made of the highest quality carbon-fiber composites, which are normally only used in Formula 1 and Le Mans race cars,” so that is why Bugatti showed the Bolide without its skin.
The W16 was set to fit in the back, the driver and passenger seat was set to fit in the middle, and it had to be able to crash in just into anything in such a way that it would protect the occupants. Hence, the onion-shaped midsection and pointy schnozz. The Bugatti Bolide runs on 110-octane, the Bolide makes 1825 horsepower and carries a claimed dry weight of just 2733 pounds. In comparison, the Chiron Pur Sport makes 1500 horsepower and weighs a little under 4000 pounds. The Bugatti Bolide is claimed to have an top speed of 311 mph. The Bugatti Bolide is one of the fastest cars in the world. The Bugatti Bolide was also in the 100th anniversary 24 Hours of Le Mans. Even though the outrageous speed machine didn’t compete in the race itself, it did take a lap around the legendary Circuit de la Sarthe before the race started. The Bugatti Bolide also is extremely lightweight and has very high strength. The Bugatti Bolide’s downforce is absolutely phenomenal too, cutting steep corners with extreme speed and having three tons of downforce. This car also has a prominent front diffuser with air curtains and a carefully designed underfloor. Drivers can adapt the airflow and aero-balance of their vehicles.
In conclusion, The Bugatti Bolide is a beautifully designed car, and with its timeless design, it will stand the test of time.
