2025 Bugatti Bolide: The Best Christmas Gift Ever
The Bugatti Bolide, Bugatti's track-only hypercar, has officially hit the asphalt, with a U.S. owner becoming the first to unleash the car on track.
Instead of waiting for the exclusive Bugatti-organized track sessions slated for 2025, the owner took matters into his own hands, debuting his Bolide at the iconic Circuit of the Americas (COTA) in Austin, Texas, over the Christmas season.
Is this the best Christmas gift ever?
The Bolide, finished in a striking French Racing Blue with Nocturne Black Carbon accents, roared to life on the Formula One-grade circuit. Known for its challenging 20-turn layout spanning 5.5 kilometers, COTA proved the ideal testing ground for the hypercar's capabilities.
After a comprehensive technical briefing and handover session, Bugatti’s expert team worked closely with the owner to prepare the car for the track. Following initial setup laps and pit checks, the hypercar completed 12 intense hot laps.
Despite rain making for slick conditions, the Bolide reached a top speed of 333 km/h. Even in adverse weather conditions, the Bolide handled COTA’s technical layout with poise.
The Bolide is powered by Bugatti’s legendary W16 engine, delivering extraordinary performance. The engine has defined Bugatti’s vehicles for 20 years.
The Bolide’s debut outing was met with rave reviews from its owner, who described the experience as unforgettable. “The Bolide is, as promised, incredibly easy to handle once trained, but its power and precision are incomparable,” the owner said. “Even with the rain, it was an extraordinary day, and I’m already planning another session.”
Bugatti plans to host exclusive track sessions for Bolide owners in 2025, providing further opportunities to push the hypercar to its limits on premier circuits worldwide.
With this first private track day, the Bolide has set the tone for what promises to be another exhilarating chapter in Bugatti’s storied history.
The Bugatti Bolide represents the pinnacle of the brand’s engineering and performance capabilities, offering a driving experience few will ever replicate.
For those lucky enough to own one, it’s more than a hypercar—it’s a ticket to unforgettable, high-speed adventures.
The Bolide’s design pays homage to Bugatti’s motorsport legacy, with its bold duotone styling inspired by the iconic Type 35 race car.
