Bold For Bolide

You might expect to drive it first on PlayStation 5 but the Bolide is more real than you think

Few will argue that the Bugatti Veyron coined the name hypercar when it was launched in 2005. This immortal masterpiece of technology, with a top speed of 255mph, took the supercar rulebook and tore it to pieces. Besides the usual 0-60mph race, it invented an entirely new category of speed - the race beyond 248mph. In the following years, the challenge to eclipse the Veyron’s speed and pass the mythical 300mph has seen a few bespoke car companies – the type that makes a handful of cars a year - forge their reputation on providing their customers with the fastest car in the world! As far as a sale’s pitch goes, they rarely come bolder than that. “We asked ourselves how we could realize the mighty W16 engine as a technical symbol of the brand in its purest form – with solely four wheels, engine, gearbox, steering wheel and, as the only luxury, two seats.” – Stephan Winkelmann, Bugatti President.
