With Only 40 Units in the World, the Bugatti Bolide Impresses with Extreme Performance and Extremely High Maintenance Costs — Every 60 km Driven Can Cost R$ 44 Thousand in Wheels
If Bugatti is synonymous with exclusivity, the Bolide model takes this idea to the extreme. Introduced as a concept in 2020, the hypercar began being delivered to the public in mid-last year, with only 40 units produced in the world. It costs around 4 million euros and is not homologated for street use. Its nature is purely geared toward race tracks.
Exclusivity Taken to the Limit
The Bolide is not the most expensive model from the brand, but it impresses with the costs associated with its maintenance. One example is the wheels, which need to be replaced every 60 kilometers driven.
And it’s not a simple swap. Each replacement costs around 7 thousand euros, equivalent to approximately R$ 44 thousand, according to reports from YouTuber Manny Khoshbin, known for collecting luxury vehicles.

It costs R$ 80,000 today, but was once worth R$ 900,000: the “rich man’s cast-off car” attracts with its luxury, but conceals high-standard maintenance that can turn into a loss.

When it seemed that combustion was doomed, industry giants came together and created a gasoline engine that promises to achieve more than 3 liters per 100 km and rekindles the hope of those who want to drive further while spending much less fuel.

Bugatti, famous for its rare cars, has launched models with extremely limited production in the past. The Chiron Super Sport had only 30 units. The Centodieci, even more exclusive, was limited to just 10.
The company’s strategy was previously to sell vehicles almost at cost price. To compensate, customization packages can cost, on average, 500 thousand euros, or R$ 3.1 million.
Driving is Expensive — Literally
The Bolide is a car that requires extreme care. Its engine consumes more oil than normal, and changing this fluid requires disassembling part of the car’s structure. But nothing surpasses the cost and frequency with which the wheels need to be replaced.
The tires provided by the manufacturer at the time of purchase are very thin, serving only to transport the car from the truck to the circuit.
On site, the main tires are installed. These are special Michelin models, similar to the slicks used in Formula 1. There is also a version designed for rain.
Pre-Heated Tires and Brutal Performance
These tires need to be warmed up before any use, just like in race cars. Additionally, the wear is extreme. The Bolide weighs about 1,300 kilograms but generates a suction force greater than 1,800 kilograms.
This force keeps the car glued to the ground, allowing it to take corners more securely, but also accelerates the wear of the wheels.
The car’s performance is brutal: it accelerates from 0 to 300 km/h in 7.37 seconds. It boasts 1,850 horsepower and all-wheel drive. This level of performance directly contributes to the rapid consumption of tires, which need to be replaced every 60 kilometers.
For a Few — and with Extremely High Costs
The Bolide is not an ordinary car, nor does it intend to be. It is aimed at enthusiasts who desire the utmost in performance without concern for the costs involved. Every detail of the vehicle is designed for track use, with technologies reminiscent of Formula 1 cars.
To top it off, simply hearing the roar of the engine is already a unique — and possibly expensive — experience. According to reports, even the simple act of starting the car can cost more than filling the tank of a regular vehicle. An exclusivity that charges dearly for every meter driven.

**** sem limite
Ainda no campo das proporções, as nossas despesas domésticos (água, luz, telefones, gás, tv por assinatura, alimentação) custam mais caro que esse Bugatti e suas despesas para que tem mais de um BI de euros na conta. Apenas proporções.
