The legendary French brand Bugatti has put the finishing touches on the production of its extreme hypercar - the super-limited Bolide. Only 40 lucky people around the world managed to get their hands on this engineering marvel, which was completely sold out long before we even officially saw its power.
The last assembled copy of this predatory machine is a true work of art that combines darkness and light. Its body is covered in an elegant combination of rich black and deep blue, which makes the Bolide's shapes stand out even more brightly. The interior is upholstered in high-quality blue Alcantara, contrasting with fresh accents in Sport light blue and the traditional tricolors of the French flag, reminiscent of the brand's origins.
The heart of the Bolide is the infamous 8-liter W16 engine, which here has been pumped up to a dizzying 1,600 horsepower. This is pure, unbridled power that catapults the car from zero to 100 km/h in a dizzying 2.2 seconds - a time that makes even the fastest machines seem static. Top speed reaches 380 km/h, but the real magic lies in what keeps the Bolide glued to the asphalt.
Its radical aerodynamics are more than just an aesthetic element. The body kit is designed to generate downforce exceeding more than twice the car's own weight of 1,450 kilograms. In other words, at high speed, the Bugatti Bolide could theoretically move along the ceiling of a tunnel - this is eloquent evidence of the pure, uncompromising physics that went into its creation.
Customer deliveries began last year, with the initial entry price for this masterpiece starting at an impressive 4 million euros. As high as this sum is, it pales in comparison to the speculative value of the machine. Proof of this is the summer of 2025, when the first Bolide produced (chassis #001) was put up for auction by Gooding Christie's.
Although the official final price remains a closely guarded secret, industry experts have estimated its potential value at up to 5.2 million euros, which only reinforces its legendary status even while it is still alive. With the end of production, Bugatti closes an extraordinary chapter in the history of hypercars.
