AERODYNAMICS: MASTERING THE WIND The best that BUGATTI has to offer in terms of aerodynamics has been combined in the Bolide. The combination of an athletic body inspired by the Le Mans prototypes and the extensive use of wings and flaps generates 2,600 kg of downforce at 320 km/h, 800 at the front and 1,800 at the rear. A world first is the morphable outer skin of the intake scoop on the roof, which provides active airflow optimization. At low speeds, the surface of the scoop remains smooth. At high speeds, on the other hand, a bubble field bulges out, reducing the air resistance of the scoop by 10 percent and the lift force by 17 percent. With an overall height of just 995 millimeters, the BUGATTI Bolide is exactly the same height as the historic BUGATTI Type 35 and around 22 centimeters flatter than the Chiron.
