Rare are the opportunities to admire the underside of the world’s most high-performance cars. The spectacle offered here is fascinating.
No need to prolong the suspense out of pure sadism. The bare carbon chassis on display here is one of the most expensive cars on the planet. The Bugatti Bolide. Produced in 40 units and to be delivered starting in 2024, its price is 4 million euros each.
With its generous dimensions and enveloping bodywork, it’s hard to believe that its attributes are actually of extraordinary finesse. Or even those of a prototype from the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Moreover, the French hypercar (certainly owned by the German group Volkswagen) meets the safety standards of LMH and LMDh categories engaged in the World Endurance Championship.
Thus stripped down, the Bugatti Bolide is even more desirable, and it becomes clear that its overall weight, quite substantial at 1450 kg (compared to 1100 kg for an LMH car at Le Mans), is largely explained by its 100% thermal mechanical system based on an 8-liter quad-turbo W16 engine producing 1850 horsepower, fueled with high-octane racing fuel with an octane rating of 110.
With such characteristics, the performance figures are astonishing, and according to Bugatti’s simulations, the Bolide would be capable of accelerating:
- from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.17 seconds
- to 200 km/h in 4.36 seconds
- to 300 km/h in 7.37 seconds
- to 400 km/h in 12.08 seconds
But also to perform the 0-400-0 km/h exercise in 24.64 seconds! Fasten your seatbelt!
You will never view the Bugatti Bolide the same way again. Too bad it doesn’t venture into competition. Here it is below, properly equipped. What a fabulous spectacle!
