Bugatti has completed production of the Bolide, marking the definitive end of the brand’s W-16 era.
The manufacturer released images of the 40th and final Bolide produced, which has already been delivered to its owner. The model was collected directly at the Bugatti factory in northern France.
The car, which cannot be driven on public roads, cost €4 million. Its owner is a Bugatti collector who also has a classic Type 35 in his garage, a hugely successful race car from nearly 100 years ago.
This wealthy, unnamed man also owns a Veyron Grand Sport. Like the Bolide, this unit is the last of its kind.
Both the Veyron and the Bolide share an exterior paint scheme in Black Blue and Special Blue Lyonnais over an interior finished in Blue Lake Alcantara.
The British engineering firm Lanzante recently revealed that it is working to help one Bolide obtain a license plate.
But given the vehicle’s imposing nature, it’s understandable that none of the 40 Bolide owners have shown interest in taking it onto public roads so far.
It is worth noting that even with the end of Bolide production, the W-16 story is not over yet. Deliveries of the Mistral are still underway.
Deliveries of the fastest open-top car ever built began in February. Bugatti will produce only 99 units of the roadster, and once production ends, the W-16 will say its final goodbye.
In its place, the manufacturer has developed an all-new V-16 for the Tourbillon, which will replace the Chiron, with deliveries set to begin next year.
