With only 40 units being produced globally, the Bolide represents the pinnacle of Bugatti's engineering prowess. The hypercar is powered by an 8.0-liter quad-turbo W16 engine, delivering a staggering 1,577 horsepower and 1,180 lb-ft of torque. Designed for uncompromising performance, its lightweight construction—just 1,450 kilograms (3,197 pounds) dry—gives it an exceptional power-to-weight ratio exceeding 1,100 hp per metric ton.
The first Bolide units were delivered to collectors last year, with high-profile car enthusiast Manny Khoshbin among the earliest recipients. Though the vehicle is strictly designed for the track, its brief stint on Adelaide's roads provided an awe-inspiring glimpse into its raw power and aggressive aerodynamics.
The 2025 Repco Adelaide Motorsport Festival will celebrate automotive excellence, with the Bolide's presence expected to be a highlight of the event. The festival, known for showcasing iconic race cars and high-performance machines, will offer attendees a close-up look at one of the most extreme hypercars ever built.
