The Bugatti Bolide is an impressive hypercar designed to ride on circuits and is not approved to go on the street. The French manufacturer has been perfecting its racing machine that features an 8.0-liter four-turbo W16 engine. Thus, this car can reach 500 km/hour; a speed higher than that of a Formula 1.
There are only 40 units available worldwide, and they have already sold for 4 million euros each. Owners are expected to take delivery later this year.
Going into detail about getting to know the hypercar in depth, it is worth highlighting its carbon brake system. Being the result of a collaboration between Bugatti and Brembo, it is the largest system that the Italian manufacturer has created to date.
The carbon brakes, originally developed for the legendary Concorde aircraft before its adaptation to the world of motor racing, offer exceptional performance.
Bugatti claims that this system is on par with those used in modern Formula 1 cars, guaranteeing constant deceleration and avoiding the dreaded brake fade in high-stress situations.
In the front section of the car, two brake calipers with eight pistons each are installed, accompanied by 390×37.5 millimeter discs. In contrast, at the rear, two calipers with six pistons each are implemented, paired with 390×34 millimeter discs.
These specifications have been meticulously designed to meet the rigorous standards of the FIA ??World Endurance Championship Hypercar class, ensuring unrivaled performance on the track.
In addition, the Bugatti Bolide is equipped with a special Wet mode designed specifically for rainy conditions, minimizing understeer and improving stability in adverse situations. This mode also activates a flashing rain light, inspired by Formula 1 racing cars, adding a touch of style and functionality.
Regarding the aerodynamic aspect, the Bugatti Bolide stands out for its design and has amazed experts in the field. And, thanks to its more than 800 kilos of aerodynamic support at the front and 1,800 kilos at the rear at speeds of up to 320 km/h, this hypercar is designed to dominate curves with confidence and precision. Its extravagant shapes are carefully optimized to maximize aerodynamic efficiency and ensure exceptional performance with every lap.
