Video: The Bugatti Bolide's Track Pace Will Melt Your Mind
Bugatti Bolide
is a track-only hypercar unlike any other. Only 40 will ever exist, and each one costs $4 million. It's the type of car you'd expect to find in a climate-controlled garage waiting for the 2088 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance.
Thankfully, that's not the life of every Bolide out there. A new
onboard video
from the Nürburgring GP track shows the utterly bonkers performance the Bugatti offers. The Bolide makes the same power as its road-going counterpart, with 1,578 horsepower from its W-16 engine. But it only weighs around 3,200 pounds, as opposed to the 4,300-pound Chiron. The speed at which the
Bugatti
closes the gap between other cars is wild to watch.
The power turns the Porsche 911s and other incredible performance cars on the track into annoying traffic for the Bugatti driver. A
McLaren Senna
is little more than a blur as the Bugatti passes it.
The Bolide has a lower top speed than the Chiron, 236 miles per hour versus 261. Despite the explosive acceleration, it doesn't even get near that on the track. The digital display shows the Bugatti reaching a top speed of 186 mph—still pretty nuts for a road course.
Bugatti originally showed off the
Bolide prototype
in 2020 with a theoretical 1,825 horsepower and a top speed of over 300 mph. It'd be three years before the company
revealed the car in production form
, with another year of testing before deliveries began. It's great to finally see the car on the track, bringing joy to riders and fear to other drivers.

The Fastest! 2006 Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Test
The guy behind the Starbuck's counter on La Cienega noticed my Motor Trend cap: "Hey, you work there? Probably drivin' a cool car tonight, right?" "A Kia minivan. But it's pretty nice. DVD player in back for the kids." He nodded silently and proceeded to make my green tea frappuccino. Worried that this guy's image of the suave, bring-me-another-Ferrari automotive journalist was imploding like Ashley Simpson on "SNL," I absurdly added, "But, um, we'll be testing a Bugatti Veyron in about a week. Ever heard of a Bugatti?"The blender stopped. "Of course I've heard of it. Sixteen-cylinder W-type engine. Four turbos. A thousand horsepower. A million bucks. It'll do, what-- 250 mph?" Now I was nodding silently. He offered a straw. The 2006 Bugatti Veyron 16.4, with a 1001-hp W-16 engine and a top speed of 253 mph, sets new standards in speed and luxury. Priced at $1.44 million, it accelerates 0-60 mph in 2.7 seconds and is praised for its engineering, though its design and steering feel are debated. This summary was generated by AI using content from this MotorTrend article. Read Next Exactly when did random baristas start memorizing facts about Bugatti automobiles? The original company's heyday was the late twenties and early thirties--the curtain falling with le Patron's fatal heart attack in 1947. During the ensuing 60 years, the 1750-odd pur sang machines remaining from the 7950 Molsheim produced have become the obscure relics of autodom's closest thing to an extremist cult. The Veyron, on the other hand, is a media queen. Paris Hilton with all-wheel drive. Everybody knows something about it. Larry King will do an interview. And what's behind its universal awareness (besides a VW propaganda machine screaming at redline)? Numbers. Great big memorable numbers. My barista friend already said them. When former VW chief Ferdinand Piech announced the future Veyron's staggering four-digit horsepower and a terminal velocity a third the speed of sound, he destined his Bugatti to be on the lips of the masses. It was P.R. genius. Had he said it would have 751 horsepower and top-out at 187 mph, my frappuccino pal would've said he'd never heard of this Bugatti-whatever, but you ever driven a Z06? There's a finger-burning, pencil-snapping price to pay, however, when the claims come before the car: 1000 horsepower at the crankshaft means roughly 2000 more need to be expelled as waste heat--either exhaled through a watermain of an exhaust pipe or wafted from a dozen radiators. And artificially penciling the top speed at 407 kph (253 mph) tends to anger the aerodynamic demons whose temper, as we know, rises as a square of velocity. You have a sneaky feeling that Piech--who earlier in his career oversaw the creation of the Porsche 917's 1500-horsepower flat-12 turbomotor and Audi's paradigm-shifting quattro all-wheel drive--smiled as he tossed his troops a personal Rubics cube to solve as he went out the door. Go ahead and figure out this one, guys. I'll have fun watching. Three years later, a pair of Veyrons emerge from the transporter ready to rumble on AMCI's 9000-foot-long ex-airbase runway--a two-tone (they're all two-tone) silver-and-white number for photos and a black-and-gray tester we covered with instrumentation (including front and rear ride-height sensors to observe the chassis's hydraulically adjusted suspension). Composed of carbon-fiber (the central monocoque), an aluminum front subframe, a carbon and stainless-steel frame mix at the rear, and aluminum fenders and hood, the Veyron is smaller than you'd imagine--not much bigger than a 911. Its shape is a question of taste, but it's clearly not an automotive beauty in the conventional sense, like a Lamborghini Muira or an early E-Type Jag. It's more akin to Gordon Buehring's Cord 810 or a Hans Ledwinka Tatra (and even many original Bugattis) in being a hyper-complicated piece of sculpture that takes time to consider. Were the Type 57 Electron Coupe or the Atlante "pretty" cars? No. But decades later, they still captivate. The engine itself is a central feature of the exterior design, its top scandalously exposed between two aluminum intake snorkels. The practical reason for this is to dissipate the 8.0-liter engine's crackling heat (a good rain probably helps), making the broad band of bodywork that wraps around it useful for keeping curious young fingers from getting singed. Although capped by twin intercoolers and impressive parallel induction pipes, it's still a bit of a visual letdown if you've ever seen the nuanced artistry of most any original Bugattis. The two banks are essentially twin, narrow-angle Volkswagen VR8 blocks fed by a quartet of turbochargers and direct injection to produce 1001 horsepower (now rumored closer to 1100) at 6000 rpm and 922 pound-feet of torque between 2200 and 5500 rpm. This unimaginable wrenching is delivered forward through a fabulous paddle-shift seven-speed DSG gearbox (0.15 second per shift), then split between the front and rear axles by a Haldex clutch. The basic architecture is reminiscent of a Lamborghini Diablo's. Rotate the key, wait for the systems to self-check, and give the starter button a hard press. A short whirr is eclipsed by a thundering rumble. A check of the gauges finds all the normal ones--except for that power dial on the lower left with numbers ending at a startling 1001. Inside, the motif is Flash Gordon as Howard Hughes would've built it. It's coated in perfectly stitched leather and Alcantara, interrupted by only polished or engine-turned aluminum surfaces. The shapes have a thirties feel--kitschy maybe, but fun. Ahead of you, 1320 feet is about to be eviscerated. Hold the brake, select drive and then first gear. Press the launch-control button, nail the throttle (the pedals are offset to the right), and wait for the revs to stabilize at 3000. Then release--you're doing 60 mph in approximately this much time: 2.7 seconds. There's no wheelspin. The car simply disappears as a V-8-like bellow frantically tries to keep up. At 30 mph, the 4530-pound Veyron is pulling 0.99 g. The quarter mile passes in 10.4 seconds at 139.9 mph, but at 137, our ride height sensors notice the hydraulic suspension adjustment already lowering the chassis and pitching the nose slightly as the rear wing rises and angles itself. The sensation is completely unfamiliar, as the thrust against your back doesn't seem to fade with speed, flummoxing any sensible guess at what the peak velocity might be. 200 mph? 300 mph? Who knows? This thing might never stop. Burt Rutan's spaceship-ride business ought to be concerned about the competition. Were we at Volkswagen's giant Erha Leissen test track, a high-speed key inserted along the doorsill would've allowed the Veyron to run up to its 253-mph low-drag maximum by collapsing the rear wing, closing the front diffusers, and dropping the chassis another 0.8 inch. But Ehra Leissen is probably the only place where this will ever occur, as even a touch of the brake pedal or a 90-degree turn of the steering wheel forfeits the effort and sends you back to handling mode, which is electronically limited to "only" 233. Above 120 mph, any significant brake application causes the elevated rear wing to flip up to a barn-door 55 degrees, but our standard tests from 100 and 60 mph found the drilled and vented carbon-ceramic brakes to be ample-enough anchors: 60 to 0 mph in 103 feet from a 2.3-ton car is hauling it down big-time (decelerating at over 1.1 g--even without the air brake). It's only the car's handling that leaves room for any debate at all. While it pulls a supercar-stout 0.96 g in cornering (aided by the biggest tires ever made for a production car), the steering action is lighter than you'd think and rather hydraulic (Audilike, an editor comments). If you expect the Veyron's helm to be Lotus Elise-sensitive, you'll be disappointed by its vanilla road feel. Nevertheless, the response is lighting-strike quick and, around our figure-eight course, the Bugatti is pleasantly neutral. It's a car of two personalities: a straight-line rocketship and a liquidy GT when the line bends. As the two Veyrons are raised into the transporter, their extra tires rolled away and the tool chests snapped shut, we're left with some shattered test records and a final question: Is this truly the reincarnation of Bugatti? Molsheim's cars have had a few back-from-extinction adventures already: the six disappointing Type 101s (essentially Type 57s) assembled in the 1950s, Virgil Exner's horrifying rebody of the seventh T101 in 1965, and the 31 strangely Veyronlike, Italian-built EB110s spearheaded by Romano Artioli in 1991. (Indeed, the AWD GT version of Artioli's quad-turbocharged V-12 car is rumored to have been closely "examined" by the new regime.) Perhaps in 1956 when Roland Bugatti (Ettore's son) threw up his hands and let the implausible world of Molsheim finally yellow into old photographs, the automotive world should've simply accepted that its king was truly dead. On the other hand, it isn't as bizarre as you might think that blue-collar Volkswagen would be the ultimate sorcerer to conjure back Europe's prince of sports cars. There's a rare photograph of Ettore Bugatti and Ferdinand Porsche speaking to each other at a race. It was likely an awkward encounter, because at about that time, Porsche's Auto Unions were ruthlessly drubbing the Bugatti on the track. It was effectively the beginning of the end, really, for Molsheim. Yet 70 years later, it would be Porsche's grandson, Volkswagen's Dr. Piech, who'd purchase the Bugatti name as well as the historic portion of the old factory's property. And furthermore build there--near the reconstructed barn (that held Rembrandt Bugatti's sculptures), the Orangery (which displayed cars), and even the iconic chateau--a spectacular new assembly shop for the birth of the superb Veyron. A car a certain barista on La Cienega can tell you a great deal about.

Driving The 282mph Bugatti Mistral, The World's Fastest Roadster
Fewer than 150 people have driven the $5.8 million, 16-cylinder, 1600bhp, 282.04mph Bugatti Mistral, of which only 99 will be built, and it's sold out. I'm now one of the 150 or so. I'm also one of only a handful of journalists to become the steering-wheel and loud pedal guide to the missile, currently the world's fastest roadster. Bugatti's history has been progressively etched in automotive lore since 1909. Much of the innovation and competitive nature of the carmaker, as well as its drive for the exceptional, resurfaced, thanks to previous owner Volkswagen Group's input and investment, in 2005 with the Veyron and its W16 motor, its final iteration powering the Mistral. I'll spare you the history lesson - it's widely-chronicled in Forbes. Bugatti invents the hypercar Bugatti, based in Molsheim, France, effectively invented the "hypercar" segment with initial v-max runs of 253.81mph in the 1000bhp Veyron, rising with the Super Sport Veyron to (267.856mph) and now with the world's fastest roadster: the Mistral. Rolls-Royces have on their dashboards a "power reserve" dial, emphasising just how unchallenged the engine is in most circumstances. Tucked off to the left of the instrument binnacle on a Mistral, with its central 500kmh (310.686mph) speedometer, alongside the rising bar of the tachometer, is a parallel instrument notated from zero to 1600. It provides information about how much of the Mistral's available power you're using. Those numbers relate, of course, to bhp. Most of the time, in "normal" driving, a feat remarkably well within the lower-demands of Mistral usage given its F1++ power output, that bar barely flickers above zero bhp being troubled, everyday trundle-pace drawing on EV battery power. At the top, "1600" keeps drawing your attention, a short-term obsession, progressively more aggressive right-foot-flexing producing acceleration during gaps in traffic that would embarrass mere supercars. But even acceleration beyond anything I'd experienced (we're talking in McLaren, Lamborghini and Ferrari), an eye-flick to that power-use gauge sees it nonchalantly nudging a traffic-restricted peak of around 650bhp. Bugatti's "Pilote Officiel" urges deployment of 1600bhp My "minder", decorated racing driver Bruno Spengler, 41, and now Bugatti's "Pilote Officiel" is happily urging me on, he having earlier demonstrated what all 1600bhp feels like during a lucky, and safe, break in traffic, a piece of luck that continues to evade me... Then the two-lane highway suddenly opens up, Citroens and Audis peeling aside, a VW van being the last to present me with an open ribbon of road I hope by now is somewhere in neighbouring Germany. "Go," says Bruno. The speed of the human brain can be impressive. I floor the throttle, but before that ultra-slow-motion split second between starting to floor it and it meeting the firewall something in my mind causes me to back off a fraction. All that human brain computing power calculates, in perhaps a nano-second, a vast array of factors and parameters and, in this instance, came to the conclusion: "Iain, 1600bhp going through four driven wheels to the road is perhaps not a great idea right now, mainly because in doing so you'll be accelerating not just faster than you ever have, but faster than probably 99.9% of the world's driving population has ever experienced. Floor it properly later when you know what to expect." So I backed off. To just over 1000bhp. I'll restate that. Just over 1000bhp. My own 330bhp BMW is fast. I've driven the likes of Lamborghinis to not-far-short of 200mph, , and my Honda 1000 superbike barely breaks a sweat in muscle-flexing alongside supercars. 1000bhp proves to be the traffic-restricted maximum But that now-eternal mental snapshot is still the deployment of 1000bhp, while my memory stores a recording of the brain's gyros registering forces never previously experienced. Because I now know what 1000bhp feels like for a few seconds, I think I can imagine the sensation personally deploying 1600bhp would bring. Years ago I raced cars, but the Mistral's performance brings into starker focus what F1 drivers achieve for 90 minutes or more in their 800kg, 1000bhp cars (a Mistral weights over 2000kg with driver). And they always seem to be for more power. Pulling back into Bugatti's grounds, Bruno pays me the sort of compliment you'd want on your cv, and, let's face it, guys, the sort of thing you wish other people had overheard: "I wouldn't have let you try that if you weren't a relaxed and very good driver." Aw, shucks. The Mistral is more than a straight-line rocket The Mistral isn't just an absolute rocket in a straight line, it's a great handling car with enormous grip. I exited every corner believing I could have entered it twice as fast, the specially-developed Michelin tyres untroubled. The brakes wouldn't be out of place on a Boeing 787, and the quality, design, detail and sheer craftsmanship of the Mistral admirable. Those details of design and engineering abound once you take pause and walk around the car. After parking up, the rear spoiler remains deployed so hot air can be vented out of the engine bay, progressively closing as the engine cools. Stick a finger between spoiler and rear panel, and it stops lowering, designed to prevent small fingers of mesmerised children being trapped. It may be immensely fast and powerful, but perhaps the only thing stopping you using it more than storing it is its value. You can only use what it offers for seconds at a time, rarely attempt to v-max it, and then only on a limited number of private straight-line tracks or runways. But that's perhaps what makes it special. It'll always have the potential, but the few opportunities to realise that potential will be etched on your mind for eternity.
