Bugatti Bolide

In April 2023, Bugatti revealed the production version of the Bolide as a track-only sports car.

The concept Bolide is built using the framework of the same 8 L (490 cu in) quad-turbo W16 engine and the 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission used in the Chiron, although upgrades to the W16 engine allow the Bolide to generate over 1,361 kW (1,825 hp; 1,850 PS) and 2,000 N⋅m (1,475 lb⋅ft) of torque, 183 kW (245 hp; 248 PS), more than the Chiron Super Sport 300+.

[4][5][6][7][8] The carbon structure, developed in collaboration with Dallara, meets the same demanding LMH and LMDh requirements of the FIA (Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile) as the Le Mans race cars.

Although the concept version boasted a power output of 1,361 kW (1,825 hp; 1,850 PS), this was achieved using 110-octane racing fuel.

The production version will have a power output of 1,177 kW (1,578 hp; 1,600 PS) with a torque figure of 1,600 N⋅m (1,180 lbf⋅ft) at 2,250 rpm using 98 RON gas.

The production version will weigh in at 1,450 kg (3,197 lb) and therefore will have a weight-to-power ratio of 1.2 kg/kW (0.9 kg/PS; 2.0 lb/hp) when 98 RON gas is used.
