This Bugatti's high price tag and race-track only designation doesn't diminish all the hard work and ingenuity needed to make this car. This is a big feat of automotive engineering.
For example:
One of the cooler details on the Bolide is the roof scoop. The material its made of changes form as speed rises—at low speed, it's uniform, while at higher speeds, bubbles form on the surface to reduce drag and optimize airflow to the big wing. Bugatti uses an "X" pattern for the headlights, which both denotes the Bolide's experimental nature and pays tribute to Chuck Yeager's Bell X-1 aircraft.
This hyper car is unattainable for many people except for the 10 percent of the 1 percent of people in the world. So what?
The Bolide is a response to the electric hyper car manufacturers like Rimac":
"Electric hyper car? Fuck that!!"
