The Bugatti Bolide is a supercar with a W16 engine, and it sounds absolutely wild.

It’s bold, it’s aggressive, and it can turn heads from miles away.

What else would you expect from a supercar with an 8.0-liter W16 engine that produces a jaw-dropping 1,600 horsepower?

Hearing this incredible machine is like a symphony for the ears.

Hear the Bugatti Bolide W16 engine in action

One of the factors behind the W16 engine’s power is that it operates without any restrictions.

In short, this means the car isn’t bound by standard road emission regulations.

A video of the W16 engine in action was posted on Instagram by Miller Motorcars, and it’s something every car fan should hear.

However, it’s not just the Bugatti Bolide – many modern supercars are capable of impressing people with their sound alone.

For example, the Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale and this Jaguar supercar that growls like a real jaguar, to name just two.

The Instagram post shared by Miller Motorcars reads: “A quick start up and exhaust sound of the new Bugatti BOLIDE’s 1,600 horsepower W16 engine.

The post continues: “Completely unrestricted from your typical road emissions regulations, BOLIDE is completely uncorked and represents the pinnacle of the W16 engine.”

But – you might ask – does the car’s sound match its performance?

The answer – of course – is yes.

With a lightweight design and a top speed nudging over 300mph, it’s one of the most extreme track cars ever made.

The sound is made to turn heads

People in the comments section couldn’t stop talking about the sound.

One user said: “Imagine this being street legal,”

While another joked: “Bruh can’t even afford fuel after buying the Bugatti.”

That joke actually makes sense because the Bugatti Veyron – for example – can burn around 100 liters of fuel in just 12 minutes at top speed.

Another user compared it to American muscle cars, saying: “Bugatti engines sound like muscle cars.”

This car is a genuine marvel of engineering.
