I like cars as much as any RSer, but sometimes concept cars like this is just... pointless. Maybe if I'm just jaded or cynical or tired of rich people weenie-waving. Show me someone's project car and I'd get more excited than this horsepower/speed race machine.

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!!"  |
Technological advancement is great, but we're not going to see these things trickle-down to performance cars in the 100K and below range, so to me, it might as well be rocket science that will never see real world application.
