BUGATTI BOLIDE: Public Debut at 24 Hours of Le Mans Centenary

On the centenary of one of the most revered motorsport events in the world, BUGATTI returned to Le Mans, showcasing the BOLIDE to the public for the very first time. BUGATTI’s esteemed motorsport heritage is intrinsically entwined with the history of Le Mans 24 Hours. And in perfect timing to celebrate 100 years of the revered motorsport event, BUGATTI created a magical moment for onlooking crowds. On the hallowed asphalt on which so much history has been made, the BUGATTI BOLIDE made its first-ever public appearance, taking a track lap at the Circuit de la Sarthe. Andy Wallace, a Le Mans winner of 1988 and a Pilote Officiel for BUGATTI since 2011, took to the wheel of the BOLIDE for the showstopping lap. Speaking moments after driving the track-only hyper sports car, Andy said: “The BOLIDE looks and feels - in every respect - like a real racing car with genuine outstanding high-performance capabilities. The fact that it generates around twice its own weight in downforce at maximum speed, giving the car a very high level of grip and stability in high-speed corners is in its own right incredibly impressive. But to then match that prowess with BUGATTI’s W16 engine, developing 1,600 PS, takes the BOLIDE to an entirely new level. The car is breath-taking in every sense.” #BUGATTI #BOLIDE #LeMans24 #LeMansCentenary – WLTP:
