Bugatti Bolide: First customer cars begin testing ahead of delivery
The production of the Bugatti Bolide is underway at the Molsheim atelier. With the first customer cars rolling off the assembly line, Bugatti has commenced the pre-delivery tests. The cars are being put through their paces on a racetrack before being handed over to the customers.
The Bolide is Bugatti’s ultimate track hypercar. Initially introduced as a concept, the automaker decided to build 40 examples priced at $4 million a piece.
The Bugatti Bolide is based on a bespoke carbon fibre chassis that has been developed to comply with LMh and LMDh regulations and meets all safety norms laid down by the FIA. Powering the Bolide is an 8.0-liter W16 engine that generates 1825 hp and 1475 lb-ft of torque. The car weighs just 1450 kg (dry), which gives it a power-to-weight ratio of more than 1100 hp per tonne.
