Bugatti is in the final stages of development of its Bolide track car, which will go into production later this year. The car is the production version of the Bolide concept that was shown for the first time in 2020 and, surprisingly, the design is very close to the original concept, which was not really intended for production.
It was the result of a challenge brought by the then boss of Bugatti Stephan Winkelmann to his team to imagine a Bugatti made without restrictions. That also describes the production version well, as the Bolide has features not seen on any other car, an example of which is Brembo’s largest carbon-carbon brake system yet.
Carbon-carbon brakes are used in Formula 1 cars and high-performance cars, and are very different from the carbon-ceramic brakes found on most performance cars today. One of its first uses was the braking system of the Concorde supersonic aircraft.
