RE: Bugatti Bolide: 1,850hp, 1,240kg, more than 310mph
Discussion
I still can't believe the weight of it considering the engine/gearbox in the Chiron weighs 560kg on its own. The performance figures make pretty much anything else on 4 wheels look pedestrian!
I don't really buy into many of these track-only specials, but this thing really does appear to be something else.

Has the 310mph been verified and if so, which cacti were visible in the evidence?
Very topical!

Keep up at the back. There are rumours around (including references to cacti and other geographical features) that it was faked.If I were going to put money on a company not faking it though, that would be Bugatti.

I find Bugatti one of the most untrustworthy companies as they have never held the worlds fastest production car record as they have only done it one way and there performance figures in the real world are way off.

The Mclaren F1 was faster than the Bugatti Veyron up to 150mph but on paper the Bugatti should have just disappeared from the start.

do you honestly believe bugatti are untrustworthy ? compare magazine independent conducted times for the veyron/chiron with their figures, they are very close/match up
owners regularly take them to events and exceed 200mph reliably and consistently

That just isn't true is it.Edited by Wammer on Thursday 29th October 14:06
Both the Veyron and the supersport did average two way runs.
The Chiron 300 only did a one way run.

Where are all those people who claim that massive acceleration is pointless, one trick pony, irrelevant, etc when it's some new electric car, but here it's all;
An engine doing it is a different and superior experience than an EV surely? From a noise and drame point of view.Where are all those people who claim that massive acceleration is pointless, one trick pony, irrelevant, etc when it's some new electric car, but here it's all;

Seems like a dumb. last hurrah for a vehicle that never was very popular. Your racing pals with SP2s will laugh.
I think the Bugatti's have been incredibily popular just utterly unaffordable for 99.9999% of people. Why would someone who owns this laugh about one?
Im offering a half eaten pack of Polo mints i found in my boot, a twix wrapper and a bag of fine English Toffee in return for one of these track Bugatti Bolide's plus a road car variant roadster, with free servicing for 20yrs inc unlimited tyres. I have a picture of Bugatti's blue carbon yacht on my screen now, so im sure that will guarantee that i will be first in the que, Im expecting delivery early 2022 with one billion dollar cashback.

No problem. My father was the minister for finance in my country, but due to a military coup, all of his gold taps from his 122 bathrooms were tied up in legal wranglings. If you send me a Bugatti Bolide and a cheque for one billion dollars today, this will guarantee release of the taps. The taps will be opened, you could say. In return the gold will flow. You will get gold, frankincense, myrrh, more gold (flowing) and a Bolide by return. This is a none time offer (as opposed to a one time offer) so strike whilst the.... erm... gold.. is hot. Unlike a DFS sale, this offer won't be around this weekend.hyphen said:

I would love the shove of a high powered EV but it's just not suitable for me yet. I don't knock them, far from it, I think they have a lot of potential (pun half intentional).

I have a feeling this will not just be good at going in a straight line, I suspect it will handle very well too
Sure it will, as will the Evija. Which is too fast, apparently.I just think people wheel this out whenever the subject is a car they automatically hate because it's electric, but which is much faster than their (expensive) car. "Oh, I don't care about acceleration, that's why I have a 500bhp German saloon"
Anyway, the Bugatti track car - an impressive engineering achievement in stripping out a luxury car and replacing parts with lighter versions. For that kind of thing, money no object, I think I would still struggle to look past the Zonda R, even though it would undoubtedly be slower. Mostly for that naturally aspirated V12 - the Bugatti doesn't appear to make a particularly exciting noise. I think if I wanted to own a last hurrah for petrol I would want something more visceral.

Design heavily taken from the Divo by the looks of it. Fair looking thing though. I dread the price. The Divo is what, $5 million? I bet this would be 7-8 million or something crazy.
There's a chap local to our village who drives a Divo and may still have a Super Sport. Hopefully he still has a few pennies left for this beauty. Gassing Station | General Gassing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
