The Bugatti Bolide is a track-only sports car developed by Bugatti Engineering GmbH in Wolfsburg, Germany and Bugatti Automobiles and manufactured in Molsheim, by French automobile manufacturer Bugatti Automobiles S.A.S., revealed online on October 28, 2020. According to Bugatti, the concept version of the Bolide is using the W16 engine with a weight-to-power-ratio of 0.91 kg/kW (0.67 kg/PS; 1.50 lb/hp). Bugatti announced the Bolide would be the last car ever made with their 8.0 liter W16 engine with four turbochargers. The Bolide's name comes from the ancient Greek word βολίς, which literally means "spear" then used in old French as le bolide to describe "the meteorite blazing across the sky", in reference to its speed.
In April 2023, Bugatti revealed the production version of the Bolide as a track-only sports car. 40 units are to be built and the first vehicles were delivered to customers at the beginning of 2024.
The Bugatti Bolide made its southern hemisphere debut in February 2025 as part of the Adelaide Motorsport Festival, taking place in the Australian city of Adelaide.
