The Bugatti Bolide is worth a staggering $ 4.8 million

In 2020, Bugatti introduced its hyper car, the Bugatti Bolide. It is a concept car based on the Chiron model. This time Bugatti intends to produce a production version in just 40 copies.

According to the pictures, the car will keep the same aerodynamics as the previous model. 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 carbon fiber monocoque. Carbon fiber is also used in the front-end and underbody.

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.

“A significant number of enthusiasts and collectors have called for the development of the experimental Bolide as a production car,” said Bugatti President Stephan Winkelmann.

The production Bolide will be powered by a turbocharged 8.0-liter W16 engine with 1,578 hp (1,160 kW) and 1,180 lb-ft (1,600 Nm) of torque. That’s slightly less than the base concept model which has 1,825 hp and 1,365 lb-ft of torque. It also weighs 462 lb (210 kg) less than the base model, which weighs 3,200 lb (1,451 kg).

The first copies are expected to be delivered in 2024 at a price of $ 4.8 million.

Comes with three driving modes and front-wheel drive (all-wheel drive optional). The car is mounted on 17-inch wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tires.

If you’re wondering how much the new Nismo will cost, Nissan has announced that, in Japan, the price of this model will be around $ 26,000 (2,869,900 yen).
