Bugatti Bolide: A Thrilling First Track Experience at Circuit of the Americas

Bugatti Bolide: A Customer’s First Thrill at Circuit of the Americas

The Bugatti Bolide, a track-only marvel from Molsheim, represents the pinnacle of engineering excellence and motorsport heritage. With its breathtaking design and performance capabilities, the Bolide delivers an unparalleled driving experience for those fortunate enough to own one. While most Bolide owners eagerly anticipate Bugatti's exclusive 2025 track sessions, one passionate U.S. customer decided not to wait, taking his newly delivered Bolide to the iconic Circuit of the Americas (COTA) for a Christmas treat like no other.

An Unforgettable Track Day at COTA

Renowned as one of Formula One's most prestigious circuits, the 5.513-km COTA track in Austin, Texas, served as the perfect playground for the Bolide's first track outing. The customer, familiar with COTA’s 20 challenging corners, experienced Bugatti's precision engineering firsthand. Following an in-depth technical briefing and static handover session with Bugatti’s expert team, the driver was prepared for the Bolide’s exhilarating potential.

The day began with warm-up laps to familiarize the driver with the car’s capabilities. After meticulous pit checks, including tire pressure and oil levels, the Bolide was unleashed for 12 high-speed laps. Despite rain adding complexity to the experience, the driver reached a top speed of 333 km/h, mastering the Bolide’s power and agility.

The Bolide’s Unmatched Design and Performance

Powered by Bugatti’s legendary W16 engine, the Bolide is designed for uncompromising track performance. The engine, capable of astonishing acceleration and top speeds, paired with advanced aerodynamics, provides drivers with an unmatched connection to the road. The custom French Racing Blue finish and Nocturne Black Carbon accents on this particular Bolide underscore Bugatti’s rich motorsport heritage.

Inside, the cockpit reflects a blend of luxury and purpose, with Beluga Black Alcantara, polished aluminum accents, and a personal touch—an inscribed track plate honoring Bugatti’s racing legacy. The Bolide’s design and engineering pay tribute to the brand’s history, including its iconic Type 35 racing car.

A Testament to Bugatti’s Excellence

The Bolide embodies the essence of Bugatti: innovation, performance, and a dedication to extraordinary driving experiences. This first track outing is a glimpse into the limitless potential of this track-focused machine. For enthusiasts in Dubai, owning a Bugatti—whether new or pre-owned—represents joining an elite community that appreciates engineering brilliance.
