Real estate mogul and car enthusiast Manny Khoshbin just took delivery of Bugatti Bolide in the US. His latest hypercar landed at Bugatti Newport Beach, where Khoshbin got the keys to one of the most extreme track machines on Earth. This makes two Bolides in the country now—double the number from just last week. The first went to Austin, Texas, but this one brings the action to California, joining Khoshbin’s already impressive lineup of exotic cars. A Darker Take on Bugatti StyleManny's Bolide has exposed carbon fiber bodywork, paired with subtle French blue accents. The touches of blue on the roof scoop, shark fin, and rear spoiler are just enough to remind you this is still a Bugatti, even if it’s toned down compared to the concept. Step inside, and the theme continues. Black racing seats with blue safety dominate the cabin. Compared to Bugatti’s earlier prototype or the first US delivery in Austin, Khoshbin’s Bolide feels cleaner—less flashy, more purposeful. With only 40 ever being made and every one accounted for, calling this car rare would be an understatement. At nearly $5 million, it’s a ticket to one of the world’s most exclusive clubs. But don’t expect to see it out and about. Unlike the street-legal Veyron, the Bolide is strictly a track beast. It’s designed to dominate circuits, not highways. Racing Tech Without the RulesDesigned purely for the track, Bugatti Bolide strips away road rules and racing class restrictions to focus on one thing: raw performance. Only 40 are being built, each with a price tag of $4 million. The power comes from Bugatti’s legendary 8.0-litre W16 engine. With four turbochargers and 1,577 horsepower, it’s a beast in every sense. Add 1,180 lb-ft of torque and a dry weight of just 1,450 kg, and you get a power-to-weight ratio over 1,100 hp per ton. It’s numbers like these that make 236 mph sound easy. But the Bolide isn’t just about straight-line speed. Its aerodynamic design is a masterpiece. A multi-plane rear spoiler, central fin, and sculpted bodywork aren’t just for looks—they’re built to keep the car glued to the track. And with carbon-ceramic Brembo brakes and a reinforced carbon fiber monocoque, it’s ready to handle everything. Source: Bugatti Newport Beach
