Bugatti today unveiled its new Bugatti Bolide hypercar. It is a very powerful two-seater called Bugatti Bolide, which is based on the Chiron model. The company will produce only 500 cars, and each of them will cost more than 3 million dollars.

Bugatti has previously presented models based on Chiron. Among them is the Divo, which has a lower maximum speed, but is great in corners. This model is limited to only 40 copies. There’s also the Centodieci, a car designed to mark Bugatti’s 110th anniversary, and only 10 units will be produced.

The height of Bolide is remarkably low. It’s only 995 millimeters (39.1 inches) tall. The Bolide sits on a super-light and super-stiff carbonfibre monocoque. Carbonfibre is also used in the front-end and underbody. Bugatti claims the carbonfibre’s tensile strength is matched only by that used in the aerospace industry.

The X-shaped lights at the front and rear make the car look straight out of a Sci-Fi movie, and spy shots have revealed that they are in reality even more spectacular. The suspension is by titanium pushrods with horizontal dampers. Welded stainless-steel control arms are also designed as wing profiles.

Through various weight-saving measures, the weight of the Bolide has been reduced to only 1,240 kilograms (2,734 pounds). The track-only beast has an impressive weight-to-power ratio of 0.67 kg / hp. The Bugatti Bolide has an 8.0 W16 engine that develops an incredible 1,825 hp and 1365 lb-ft of torque. The Bugatti Bolide accelerates from 0-62 in 2.17 seconds with a top speed of 311 mph.
