The beautiful scenery around Lake Como in Northern Italy are for certain days of the year overshadowed by the sheer opulence of ultra-rare and priceless automotive creations. The latest video featuring a bonkers Bugatti Bolide is no different and offers some close ups of the W16 powered hypercar.
Believe it or not but the model you are seeing here isn’t a one off, designed to replicate the most sky-fi mechanical creations that would ever pop into someone’s mind. It has actually received the green light for production, with ordered models arriving in 2024. For now, this pre-production show car demonstrates in tangible format, how intricate and outer-worldly the French creation actually is.
In the most recent edition of the prestigious Concorso d’Eleganza at Villa d’Este which took place last week in the mountainous northern region of Italy, an array of jaw dropping and drool-worthy cars can be seen flocking to the lakeside location. These include a Lamborghini Countach, an ultra rare Ferrari F40 LM and the newly unveiled BMW M4 CSL. However none of them seem to be as unique and outlandish as the bonkers Bugatti Bolide.
The footage, courtesy of TheTFJJ on YouTube gets intimately up close and personal with the track-only hypercar with the straight piped quad-turbo 8.0-liter W16 engine roaring to life and idling through the shores of Lake Como. It boasts some impressive and equally scary numbers too, 1,177 kW and 1,600 N.m mean that it has a weight-to-power ratio of 0.9 kilograms per horsepower. The engine, albeit identical to the Chiron on which it is based, sounds considerably more aggressive due to the nature of the intricate quad exit exhaust system.
More scary numbers then… The bonkers Bugatti Bolide will be limited to 40 units with each priced at around €4 million before taxes which should put it close to R70 million. Suddenly that track only Caterham seems quite affordable, doesn’t it?
