The BUGATTI Bolide’s incredible power-to-weight ratio of 0.67 kg per PS is made possible by the combination of the W16 engine with 1,850 PS and a vehicle weight of just 1,240 kilograms. The BUGATTI Bolide achieves values that almost approach Formula 1, its top speed is well over 500 km/h - without compromising maximum handling and agility. EXTREME LIGHTWEIGHT, HIGHEST STRENGTH To achieve the dry weight of just 1,240 kg, the BUGATTI team had to pull out all the stops. A completely new carbon monocoque was developed around the drivetrain. The integral stem flanged to it is made of high-strength carbon fibers, as are the underbody and the monocoque itself, which are fully aerodynamically effective. The tensile strength and stiffness of all composites - from the individual carbon fibers to the high-strength aerospace stainless steel - offer durability levels only achieved in aerospace. The extensive use of 3D-printed lightweight materials, the hollow construction of many components and the titanium bolts and fasteners are just a few examples of the high-end motorsport technology used in the BUGATTI Bolide.
