It’s also light, futuristic (powder blue paint sits sparingly on its exposed carbon-fiber frame), and tiny: The Bolide only stands 39.2 inches off the ground. Using the same bespoke engine from the storied Chiron line, but with more turbos to amplify the effect, the Bolide will truly show the world what the W-16 motor is capable of. A stunning 1364 lb-ft of torque.īugatti’s Bolide is a lightweight hypercar that showcases the true extent of Bugatti’s range in terms of beauty, power, and innovation. The innovative, historic auto house needed to one-up itself but how can one do that when the Super Sport 300+ was already, seemingly, perfection on wheels?Įnter: an 8.0L W-16 motor. With an acceleration from 0-100 kilometers per hour (0-60 mph) in 2.4 seconds, this Bugatti certainly has speed and style, all at the same time.Īfter the success of the Chiron Super Sport, Bugatti went back to the drawing board. It still represents a flawless balance between form and function, aerodynamics, and aesthetics. While it may no longer be the absolute fastest car out there (we’ll get to that envied title in a minute), Bugatti’s Chiron Super Sport 300+ has a claim to fame that will be chronicled in history books and awed conversations for years to come: It was the very first car to cross the then-unheard-of barrier of 300 mph (or 483 kph). The intensely upgraded quad-turbocharged W16 that powers the Chiron upgraded the speed of this iconic speed added some brawn to the beauty – with the result that, now, Bugatti has not one, not two, but three places in our ranking of the fastest cars of 2023. Only time will tell.īugatti has been a storied name in luxury hypercars for years, naturally. Maybe the SSC Tuatara will hit 331 mph after all. And they don’t think that was close to the vehicle’s true top speed. The company brought in Racelogic to separately confirm the speed. SSC has confirmed that the Tuatara managed to hit 295.0 mph (474.8 kph) in 2022. Although there was a brief moment where the world was led to believe the SSC Tuatara hit an astonishing 331 mph, that claim turned out to be false.ĭon’t give up hope just yet though. The Tuatara pairs together a body featuring an insanely low 0.279 coefficient of drag with a twin-turbocharged 1,750 horsepower V-8, on a platform priced at $1.9 million. Today, SSC wants to transform that dream into reality. At that time, hitting 300 mph seemed like nothing more than fantasy. In 2007, the SSC Ultimate Aero held the title of the world’s fastest production car. Shelby SuperCars is no stranger to speed. “ A Nevera is extremely powerful and charged by lightning,” says the company, which seems fitting with its 0-62 mph speed of 1.85 seconds.Īnd, to ensure you can safely hit those ridiculous speeds, the car comes with 13 cameras to help optimize and enhance each driver’s on-track performance in real-time. Powered by a 120kWh battery pack, the Nevera uses four electric motors in a way never seen before to reach top speeds other electric cars could only dream of.īut that shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise, as everything about the Nevera was designed to push boundaries. “Electric” and “hypercar” aren’t usually words heard in the same sentence, except in the form of Rimac Nevera C Two.
