A wildly specced out $4 million Bugatti Bolide hypercar has arrived in Australia, and it has blown everyone Down Under away.
The Bolide is one of Bugatti’s latest and greatest and one of the best performance cars currently on the market.
The people at The Lee Collection in Perth have unveiled the car, two years after they initially specced it, now that it has finally been delivered.
It’s just as incredible as you would expect, and it shows that even the craziest performance cars can become even wilder.

The hypercar was first commissioned by Australian businessman Laurance Escalante.
He was the man who helped choose the specifications for the car, which is why it stands out so much.
The first thing to note on the Bugatti is its wild paint job, with a bronze color chosen that brings out the lines of the hypercar.
Accentuating the bronze are the black elements and exposed carbon fiber, adding up to one wild machine.
To match the outside, the interior has a similar color, and it looks just as good as the car’s exterior.
The Bugatti is chassis number 005, and it’s only the second one to be shipped to the Southern Hemisphere.
That also makes it the second Bugatti hypercar to get to Australia, following on from the Chiron Super Sport Vader.
Escalante and his team are lucky to own the Bugatti, as only 40 examples will be produced worldwide.
The base price of the hypercar is a staggering $4 million.
However, the specifications and changes made to this Bolide may add up and bring the cost to a new level.
As with other Bugattis, under the hood is a mighty 8.0-liter W16 engine.
In the Bolide, that engine produces 1,825HP and 1,475LB-FT of torque.
With it weighing just 3,197lbs, it means it is also quite a monster in the corners, and not just on the straights.
The crazy little details on the Lee Collection Bolide really do help it to stand out from many other examples.
We can only dream of having the money to own one of the best modern performance cars ever made.
