Bugatti Completes 40th Bolide, Ending the W16 Era

The 40th track-only hypercar is a bespoke commission for a longstanding client, underscoring the program’s exclusivity.

Overview

  • Bugatti confirms the final Bolide has rolled out and been commissioned for a single, unnamed collector described as a longtime friend of the marque.
  • The last car features a Black Blue and Special Blue Lyonnais exterior with French tricolors, plus a Lake Blue Alcantara interior with Light Blue Sport stitching.
  • Launched in 2023 and limited to 40 units, the Bolide is a track-only model powered by an 8.0‑liter quad‑turbo W16 producing about 1,578 bhp and 1,600 Nm.
  • This closing build is the last factory application of Bugatti’s W16, which is no longer in production, with the Tourbillon introducing a different 16‑cylinder powertrain.
  • Bugatti has not disclosed the price for the final car, while earlier examples were quoted around €4 million (£3.5 million) and reports suggest the finale likely attracted a premium.
