What’s better than watching a Bugatti Bolide hit the racetrack? How about eight Bugatti Bolides getting out on track in Florida for a nighttime session.
Miller Motorcars showed off eight of the epic hypercars hitting the track at the Miami International Autodrome, one of Formula 1’s newest venues.
With a combined power output of 12,800hp, this had to be one of the most powerful gatherings of performance cars in the world.
With only 40 Bolides ever made, seeing eight together was a truly special event.
Why were the eight Bugatti Bolides together?
The collection of eight hypercars took to the track in March 2026.
This gathering was part of a special program that Bugatti calls Feeling the Track.
It is described as an ‘immersive experience’ to bring Boldie owners as close to professional motorsport as possible.
Miller Motorcars captured some footage from the event, with Bugatti also releasing its own pictures.
The Miami Grand Prix venue is one of the locations chosen by Bugatti to stage this experience.
Each of the Bugatti Bolides owners first gets up to speed in a McLaren 750S.
This allows them to find their feet on the track and build up to the performance level of the Bolide.
As a track-only hypercar, it is just as fast as a Le Mans prototype racer.
There are five 45-minute sessions in the cars, involving installation laps, fast laps, and intense briefings.
It really is a full-on racing experience.
This is what makes the Bolide such a great car
Each owner of these eight Bugatti Bolides is an incredibly lucky individual.
With an 8.0-liter quad-turbocharged W16 under the hood, the Bolide produces 1,578hp and 1,180lb-ft of torque.
It utilizes the framework of the engine found in the Bugatti Chiron hypercar.
The supercar manufacturer says the car could lap the Nürburgring in 5 minutes and 23.1 seconds.
That is just four seconds off the current lap record held by the bespoke Porsche 919 Hybrid Evo LMP1 car.
The company also says it could lap the Le Mans circuit nearly eight seconds faster than a current Le Mans hypercar.
All of that W16 power gives the Bolide a 0-62mph time of 2.2 seconds, and a top speed of 311mph.
With so much downforce, it is little wonder drivers have to get used to a lesser machine first before jumping in the hypercar.
Few hypercars in existence come close to the Bugatti Bolide’s prestige.
