Bugatti is the final stages of development for its Bolide track car, which is due to start deliveries later this year. The car is the production version of the Bolide concept first shown in 2020, and remarkably the design is very close to the original concept, which was never actually intended for production.

That best describes the production version as well, as the Bolide features elements not seen on any other car, an example of which…
