Bugatti Bolide
In December 2025, Bugatti reached yet another milestone when the final Bolide rolled off the production line. While the marque still has several exotic projects and bespoke creations in development, there is currently only one truly wild and uncompromising machine in its lineup—the Bugatti Bolide.
Production of the Bolide was limited to just 40 units, with the first customer cars delivered in early 2024. Traditionally, the last example of a Bugatti production run features some unique distinction, but this time the French manufacturer broke with tradition. The final Bolide is mechanically identical to the others, although its owner—a Swiss collector and longtime friend of the brand—commissioned it in a vintage-inspired color scheme matching his nearly century-old Bugatti Type 35. Incidentally, this is not the first time this particular client has drawn inspiration from the legendary Type 35, a detail that will undoubtedly enhance the car’s future collectability.
The Bolide is, without question, the most powerful hypercar Bugatti has ever built. It is not road legal and was designed with one purpose only: helping its owner set new personal records every time it takes to the track. And it accomplishes that mission thanks to Bugatti’s monstrous 8.0-liter quad-turbocharged W16 engine, producing an astonishing 1,578 horsepower.
Performance figures are nothing short of extraordinary: 0–100 km/h takes just 2.17 seconds, 0–200 km/h in 4.36 seconds, and 0–300 km/h in only 7.37 seconds—which, amusingly, is about the same time a BYD Atto 3 EV needs to reach 100 km/h.
At first glance, the Bolide’s 1,250-kilogram curb weight gives it a staggering power-to-weight ratio. Roughly half of that weight comes from a bespoke carbon-fiber monocoque chassis developed specifically for the car, while the other half seems to be occupied by the colossal powertrain. The result is a machine capable of reaching a breathtaking top speed of 497 km/h.
However you look at it, the Bolide exists as a celebration of Bugatti’s legendary W16 engine before it ultimately bows out in the face of increasingly stringent emissions regulations.
Bottom Line
Bugatti pushes the limits of performance and engineering—once again.
Price: Approximately $4.3 million.
