About two years ago, Bugatti surprised everyone with a new model that was still based on the Chiron, but wasn’t yet another special edition. The Bolide, as it’s called, is a model straight out of a sci-fi movie, and the demo car unveiled for the occasion didn’t quite deliver.

In 2024 40 customers who paid at least four million euros to buy it are about to get their new car. Meanwhile, Bugatti continues to develop production versions and has just unveiled a series of photos of “standard” Bolides with a less extravagant livery than the show car.

A few minor changes

Several official photos provided by Bugatti highlight the fact that the production Bolide will be slightly different from the one introduced in 2021. Nothing obvious, let’s be clear, but these few small differences are still noticeable. The most noticeable change is at the rear, with that huge spoiler that appears to be one piece with the wheel arches.

Additionally, the front and side air intakes appear to have been redesigned, while the large roof air intake looks larger. Unfortunately, we don’t have any pictures of the rear, but even in profile you can see the X-shaped lights and four central tailpipes.

A slightly less powerful standard version

As you can see from the available photos, the Bolide has been inspired by LMP1 prototypes and other single-seater F1 cars to create a design with a clear focus on aerodynamics. With its powerful 8.0-liter quad-turbo W16 1850 horsepower AND 1850 Nm of torquesoon the concept will be seen on tracks around the world.

Production versions will be very close to the concept and will be able to meet the international safety standards of the FIA. The machine will weigh only 1450 kg and its W16 will be slightly less powerful than on the concept car, p 1600 horsepower AND 1600 Nm.

Announced from 0 to 100 km/h 2.17 seconds and 0-400-0 km/h in 24.64 seconds. Impressive numbers that put Bolide in direct competition with Koenigsegg Jesko and Rimac Nevera.
