It’s official, the Bugatti Bolide is the company’s fastest and lightest hypercar yet. Weighing just 2,734 pounds dry, it’s powered by a quad-turbocharged, 8.0-liter W16 engine generating 1,824-horsepower and 1,365 pound-feet of torque when running 110-octane race fuel. Its auxiliary drive shafts are crafted using a blend of carbon fiber and 3D-printed titanium, while the roof-mounted air scoop is morphable in that its outer skin remains smooth at low speeds, but grows at higher speeds to reduce drag.

Rather than use water-to-air intercooling, the Bugatti Bolide has air-to-air intercooling with water pre-cooling for optimal performance on the racetrack. There are three air-cooled oil coolers for engine, transmission, and differential with water pre-cooling reduce the temperature even on dynamically demanding race laps. Step inside, and you’re greeted with carbon fiber seats, a rectangular steering wheel and a flat screen display showing all vital information.

The Bolide is the ultimate answer to the question of what if Bugatti built a track-focused hyper sports car that met the FIA’s safety requirements. Designed around the W16 powertrain with the minimum body structure and unbelievable performance data. The result: the smallest possible shell for a breathtaking performance vehicle that allows the W16 to truly come into its own. All of Bugatti’s expertise has been condensed into the Bugatti Bolide. It is therefore an innovative information source for future technologies. The Bolide is thus more than just an intellectual exercise,” said Stefan Ellrott, member of the Board of Management of Bugatti and Head of Technical Development.
