Bugatti Bolide Looks And Sounds Amazing While Testing At Airbase

It was late 2020 when Bugatti introduced the angriest iteration of the Chiron ever, the Bolide. The track-only machine was initially shown as a one-off before the subsequent production version was announced nearly a year later. However, it won't be until 2024 when the first of the 40 cars planned for production will be delivered to the rightful owners. Meanwhile, the radical W16 machine has undergone testing at an airbase.

Although it's based on the Chiron, you can't necessarily tell that since the hypercar has an all-new carbon fiber body shown here without a drop of paint on it. Despite having a massive sixteen-cylinder engine, the Bolide weighs only 1,450 kilograms (3,196 pounds) before you add fluids and a driver. With a massive 1,577 hp on tap, it means Bugatti has engineered a car with a weight-to-power ratio of 0.9 kg/hp.
