This Is How Bugatti Designed The Magnificent Bolide

的布加迪name stands as a benchmark for power, acceleration, luxury, and speed, but in a world that has a 300-mph capable布加迪凯龙星, extreme figures are relatively commonplace. Hell, there are even Audis now that can claim to be as quick as a Bugatti withsimilar output. But when you run out of four-figure horsepower ratings and ridiculous speed records, you can still wow people with design. Bugatti did just that with thereveal of the Bolide, but it was no random accident that it looks the way it does. Here's how the French carmaker designed the neck-breaking look of its latest hypercar.

Bugatti's design philosophy of "form follows performance" is clear to see, as the aggressive styling of the Bolide is not just there to wow crowds. Bugatti credits designer Nils Sajonz and his team of five with the styling of the Bolide, and he's pretty qualified, having previously worked on the Divo, the one-of-oneLa Voiture Noire, and theCentodieci.

他也是of Special Projects at the French automaker and says that "many of the design features of the Bolide are as important as a central style point as much as they are functional. The appearance of the Bugatti Bolide invokes the so-called X-planes of aviation history and shows a clear X signature from every perspective. This also heralds back to Bugatti's track-bred heritage, with the X signature present on the front of the Bolide representing the taped 'X' that historic racing cars would use to cover headlights, preventing the spread of glass in the event of an accident. But these themes are consistent and contribute towards the overall dynamics and performance of the Bolide, which is unrivaled."
