New Delhi: The Bugatti Bollide is a car that belongs on the track, taking the good parts from the Chiron and then some more. With only 40 ever being made, and coming at a cost of $4 million, it is as rare as it gets. It comes with an 8-litre quad turbo W16 that produces 1,578 bhp. However, being 3,200 pounds, 1,100 pounds less than the Chiron, it is speed taken to the next level. Bugatti have claimed that when running on 110-octane fuel, the Bolide’s W16 can produce 1825 bhp.

Onboard video from the Nurburgring GP track shows the performance with which it tears apart the track and reigns in every other supercar on the track. It goes past the Porsche 911 and the McLaren Senna almost like a thunderstorm. The Bolide’s top speed of 380 kph is less than the Chiron’s 420 kph. On the track, the Bolide reaches only 300 kph, though it is still a big number. The video was posted by YouTuber Misha Charoudin, who frequently takes hot laps around the ring.

Bollide was shown as a concept in 2020, which in theory could produce 1,825 bhp and have a top speed of close to 482 kph. Three years later, Bugatti brought out the car in production form, and it took another year of testing before delivery of the cars. Not being a road-legal car means that the owners have to take it to the track to push it to its ultimate power. Quite recently, an owner rented out the Circuit of Americas to take the car around for a few laps around the track.

Bugatti is known for making performance cars of the ultimate standard. The Veyron was brought out in 2015, and it was the fastest production car then, making car enthusiasts and automobile experts go mad about it. The Chiron came out in 2015, and it had the same effect. The class act of Chiron was that, at a low speed, it never felt like a supercar, but rather like any other road-legal car.
