Bugatti Bolide Delivery Scene

Manny Khoshbin has raised the bar again, this time by snagging a Bugatti Bolide, a beast that makes even his Bugatti Chiron Hermès edition look tame. With a lineup that includes the likes of the Pagani Huayra Hermès edition, a slew of Mercedes SLRs, a LaFerrari, Porsche Carrera GT, and a Koenigsegg Agera RS, adding the Bolide to his collection isn't just another purchase—it's a statement.

This Bolide didn’t come cheap; we're talking a base price of $4.7 million before Manny worked his magic with the customization. Given the modifications and the premium for exclusivity, the final tag was undoubtedly north of $5 million. But the Bolide isn't just about its hefty price tag. This car is the most radical interpretation of the Chiron yet, though it shares only the heart— a heavily modified W16 powertrain from the Chiron.

Limited to just 40 units, the Bolide isn’t your everyday hypercar. It’s a track-only titan, but unlike the Aston Martin Valkyrie or the Ferrari FXX, the Bolide meets FIA racing specs. Theoretically, you could take this beast to a Le Mans-style race, though it’s more likely to be a showstopper on private tracks.

Manny ordered this car three years ago, and the spec process was meticulous. There was a slight delay due to a last-minute change from decals to paint— a move Bugatti made to ensure quality, at no extra cost to Manny. On delivery, the Bolide rolled in on shipping tires and wheels— the actual wheels remain a mystery for now.

Imagine owning this incredible machine, the most expensive in Manny’s collection, and not being able to drive it on the streets. It’s the epitome of "because race car" —a phrase that perfectly encapsulates why someone would buy such an impractical yet astonishingly capable vehicle.

Congratulations to Manny on acquiring what is arguably the most impressive piece of machinery designed strictly for the track. It's a serious race car, a testament to what happens when automakers push the limits of engineering to deliver something truly extraordinary.

Final Thoughts: Why Hypercars Like Manny Khoshbin’s Bugatti Bolide Matter

Some might view Manny Khoshbin’s new Bugatti Bolide and deem it a colossal waste of money. But as a hardcore car enthusiast, I'm genuinely thankful for guys like Manny who have the means to indulge in such automotive extremes. Their investments allow car manufacturers to push boundaries and create engineering marvels that would otherwise never see the light of day.

Think about it—every car enthusiast has experienced that disappointment when a jaw-dropping concept car gets dulled down to a more practical, affordable version for mass production. The Bugatti Bolide is the antithesis of this process. It represents what happens when you give engineers and designers carte blanche and tell the bean counters to take a hike. The Bolide isn’t about practicality; it’s about creating something breathtakingly extreme.

We're living in an era where a car like the Bolide can exist—a car that is as impractical as it is spectacular, where the sheer extremity of its design and capabilities is the point. McLaren with the P1, Bugatti with the Chiron, and now the Bolide—these cars are made because they can be made, sold before they're even publicly announced, underscoring a shift in the exotic car market towards the pinnacle of what's technically and imaginatively possible.

It’s an exciting time in the world of cars. Knowing that machines like the Bolide are out there doesn't just make the automotive world richer; it stirs the imaginations of everyone who loves cars, reminding us of the incredible advancements that are possible when cost is no object and creativity takes the wheel.
