Looking at the Bugatti Divo, the company’s newest creation, we can see that Merriam-Webster describes it as “a large meteor: FIREBALL, especially: one that explodes.” Suppose you liked how the Divo shred tracks; check this out. The production version of the Bugatti Bolide is a race-ready coupe with an 8.0-liter W-16 quad-turbo engine that makes about 1,580 horsepower, which is less than the 1,825 horsepower that the first display car had. Wow, what an exciting show! Okay, this news makes sense since a bolide that isn’t a car explodes with megatons of energy when it hits the sky. The maker says that the production Bolide will go around the Nürburgring five minutes and twenty-one seconds, but we think that the right driver will be able to drive this crazy-looking machine around the famous track very quickly. Natural gas the old way Bugatti says that the 16-cylinder engine in the actual Bolide chose to use lower-octane fuel instead of the 110-octane race gas used in the Bolide Concept. This is why the engine makes less power. Because of this, a lot of the engineering work that went into the idea will be useful for the few Bolides that Bugatti wants to make. The turbochargers of this type have been changed to use special blades that make the most power and pressure at high speeds. The turbos in the idea car also had air-to-air intercoolers and a water pre-cooling system. Although Bugatti only talks about changes to the intake and exhaust systems and the cooling systems of “the turbochargers, engine, transmission, and differential,” it’s possible that the Bolide Concept’s better turbochargers were not included in the final version. The Bolide should have been able to make the most of its power thanks to its relatively light curb weight of 3,196 pounds (note the stress on relatively). For the second time, Bugatti needs to let possible buyers know what features the Bolide will have. But the Bolide that you can buy will have the unique magnesium wheels, push-rod suspension system, and carbon monocoque that are in the Bolide Concept. The Bolide’s low-slung shape was based on Chuck Yeager’s Bell X-1, which broke the sound barrier many times. Still, the Bolide is ready for the track and comes with a lot of current safety features, such as a six-point seat belt, an autonomous fire extinguishing system, and a HANS device. I’m going to pull it As the Bolide is only meant to be used on racetracks, it will have a butterfly (or yoke) style turning wheel. This car needs a yoke because you won’t be driving around Trader Joe’s and will only be driving in and out of parking spots. The steering wheel also has eight buttons that are placed in a way that makes it easy for the driver’s thumbs and fingers to reach. It also has knobs that let the driver quickly change the traction control and ABS threshold settings. To start the engine, press the big button in the middle, which is below the Bugatti logo on the carbon fiber center pad. Bugatti also says that the wheel can be taken apart to make getting in and out of the cockpit faster. It can also be used “to creatively enhance a space in which the Bolide owner sees fit, such as a high-level business boardroom.” That is possible. The passenger seat is also fixed, which is something that no other Bugatti customer has ever had. The passenger is slightly closer to the driver than the driver is to the passenger. There will be four types of seats, and they will be shaped to fit the driver’s body in the same way that car seats for one person are shaped. You can change where the wheel and pedals are placed. Also, just like in current racecars, a headrest and shoulder pad keep your head and upper torso steady if you hit something from the side. The Bolide is different because both parts are built into the door and lift out when the door opens. This helps you get into and out of the Bolide a little better. How to Stay Cool in a Vehicle Only Used for Tracks No matter that this is a race car, there is some climate control out there. An FIA or ACO-approved cabin cooler is needed because of the temperature limits. If it’s less than or equal to 77 degrees in the shade, the FIA says the minimum temperature is 89.6 degrees. If it’s higher, the temperature is 44.6 degrees. It’s interesting that the air rushes out of four nozzles that match the focused exhaust ends below the Bolide’s wing. The whole ensemble is very different from what we saw in the Bolide idea. The interior was a lot less loud than the X-themed setup that was shown on the real car. Of course, it usually works the other way around, with the idea of the cockpit having a more crazy plan and the real cockpit having a simpler one. It shows how unique the Bolide is to Bugatti and the people who own it. Would you like to get one of the 40 Bolides that are going to be made? Then, get ready to write a check for just under $5,000,000. After that, you’ll have to wait because Bugatti doesn’t want to sell these cars to users until 2024.
