Take a peek inside the £3.3 million Bugatti Bolide’s interior

Behold! Bugatti has unveiled the finalised interior for its track-only Bolide hypercar, due in 2024. Spoiler alert: it’s very blue and very tech-heavy.

To begin with, Bugatti says the all-new, lightweight monocoque is “stronger and stiffer” than the Chiron's. The new tub that’s emerged as a result has led to a much flatter driving position which leans backwards into the rear section of the car - something that’s often seen in hardcore racing cars.

Bugatti also says that not one single part has been carried over from the Chiron, so everything you see in the Bolide’s interior has been crafted exclusively for this car.

The Bolide’s outer ‘X-theme’ has also been continued inside, as evidenced by the nerd-fest steering wheel. It has been created using 3D polygonal modelling, which is what developers from the gaming and visual effects industries use to refine their work. Who knew EA FC 24 and the Bolide had so much in common?

The steering wheel was actually refined following advice from Bugatti’s test drivers, who not only requested a more compact and ergonomic wheel than those seen in the original sketches but also an eight-button cluster to access many… things.

The steering wheel is also removable, which allows you to turn the Bolide’s interior into a lounge of sorts. That’s something you might actually consider, given that just 40 of these pre-sold hypercars are being built.

Drivers will also have a choice of two display interfaces: the first is a chart of real-time driving metrics, while the second displays more features about the car and its readings. Perhaps you can use it to check your blood pressure, given that you’d need to part with £3.3 million to own one of these cars.

The Bolide’s seats also have the X-theme embedded within the multi-pad design, while the outer pads of the back and headrests also move in unison with the doors. These pads are actually strapped directly onto the car’s monocoque to reduce weight. That also means the driving position is fixed, so the pedals and steering wheel must both be repositioned to suit the driver.

Bugatti says four seat sizes are available, including one package that’s tailored to the driver’s exact height and weight, though this might be a little pointless after a Friday night stuffing of onion bhajis and samosas.

Bringing the interior details to a close, owners will also be able to choose from a range of swanky materials to cover the seats in, including Alcantara, Napa and suede.

With over 1,800bhp combined with a host of aero-focused componentry and a dry weight of just 1,240kg (similar to a current Volkswagen Polo), the Bolide is Bugatti's answer to the likes of the Gordon Murray T50S Niki Lauda and the McLaren Senna. All it seems to be missing, then, is the name of a legendary driver for verification.
