This arrangement also enables the peerless W16 powertrain to be positioned 60mm further forward than in the Chiron, ensuring ideal packaging for track use. As a result, the engine benefits from a new arrangement that allows it to be optimally integrated within the monocoque. The Bolide\u2019s incredible performance necessitated a monocoque even stronger and stiffer than the Chiron\u2019s. Safety requirements from the F\u00e9d\u00e9ration Internationale de l\u2019Automobile (FIA) for LMH and LMDh regulations for Le Mans race cars drove the development of the new structure and were chosen because they are among the most stringent safety regulations in the world of motorsport. Moreover, crash test requirements for track-only racing cars are unique, furthering the need for a clean-sheet design devoid of any compromise.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Bugatti-Bolide-chassis-3.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-814458\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Bugatti-Bolide-chassis-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Bugatti-Bolide-chassis-3.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Bugatti-Bolide-chassis-3-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Bugatti-Bolide-chassis-3-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Bugatti-Bolide-chassis-3-100x56.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Bugatti-Bolide-chassis-3-770x433.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Bugatti-Bolide-chassis-3-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Bugatti-Bolide-chassis-3-293x165.jpg 293w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Bugatti-Bolide-chassis-3-1400x788.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>For a hyper sports car inspired by motorsport greatness \u2013 a defining element to the characteristic of the Bolide \u2013 safety factors such as rollover protection are paramount, and one of the most demanding FIA tests requires a 7.5-ton load applied to the car\u2019s A-pillar. To pass the test, the maximum deflection must be no more than 50mm at the point where the load is applied, and no failure of the structure within 100mm of that point is permitted. This means that small, localized cracks, are permissible at the point of impact. However, when the Bolide was tested, there were no cracks at all, thanks to the structural integrity inherent within the monocoque design, especially in the angle of the A-pillar, its cross-section, and the high-tech materials used. A second rollover test saw an even higher load \u2013 12-tons \u2013 applied to the B-pillar, while a third involved a 6-ton longitudinal load applied to the monocoque to simulate a rollover resulting in a rear impact with a barrier.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Bugatti-Bolide-chassis-4.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-814451\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Bugatti-Bolide-chassis-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Bugatti-Bolide-chassis-4.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Bugatti-Bolide-chassis-4-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Bugatti-Bolide-chassis-4-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Bugatti-Bolide-chassis-4-100x56.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Bugatti-Bolide-chassis-4-770x433.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Bugatti-Bolide-chassis-4-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Bugatti-Bolide-chassis-4-293x165.jpg 293w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Bugatti-Bolide-chassis-4-1400x788.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Christian Willmann, Bugatti Chief Engineer for the Bolide, says: <em>&#8220;Since we made the decision to turn the Bolide vision into reality, we knew we were going to be uncompromisingly focused on several important design and development areas, but that focus was especially honed in high-performance and safety on-track attributes. For Bugatti, these characteristics are non-negotiable.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;To pass these stringent but critical safety tests, we needed to ensure that everything about the monocoque was technically perfect so that on the track the Bolide is a race car that is safe and secure in every driving situation and environment. This meant that the monocoque required optimization across all facets, from its architecture through to the wall thicknesses and even the new super-high-strength carbon material, which is the highest performing of its type in the world. This illustrates the extensive engineering we\u2019ve carried out to ensure that the Bolide is uncompromising in its approach to safety, meeting the exacting standards demanded by FIA.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Bugatti-Bolide-chassis-5.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-814452\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Bugatti-Bolide-chassis-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Bugatti-Bolide-chassis-5.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Bugatti-Bolide-chassis-5-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Bugatti-Bolide-chassis-5-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Bugatti-Bolide-chassis-5-100x56.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Bugatti-Bolide-chassis-5-770x433.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Bugatti-Bolide-chassis-5-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Bugatti-Bolide-chassis-5-293x165.jpg 293w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Bugatti-Bolide-chassis-5-1400x788.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>But rollover is just one of the many rigorous test requirements that Bugatti met in the exhaustive development process for the Bolide, focusing on every part and every subsystem of the hypersports car.<\/p>\n<p>To ensure even higher levels of safety, Bolide is equipped with an automatic, military-grade fire extinguisher system that represents a major safety upgrade in every respect compared to extinguisher units widely used in conventional race cars. To enhance ingress and egress from the two-seat cockpit, the outer sections of the wraparound headrests are attached to the dihedral doors. Designed to GT3 regulations in line with the car\u2019s packaging requirements, they are joined to the door frame using an x-shaped bracket, which is a structural component as the headrest test load is applied to the outside of the door. Created by the Bugatti\u2019s design and engineering teams, the bracket is made from 3D-printed aluminum, and although weighing a mere 300 grams, can withstand a load of more than 700 kg.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Bugatti-Bolide-chassis-6.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-814453\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Bugatti-Bolide-chassis-6.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Bugatti-Bolide-chassis-6.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Bugatti-Bolide-chassis-6-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Bugatti-Bolide-chassis-6-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Bugatti-Bolide-chassis-6-100x56.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Bugatti-Bolide-chassis-6-770x433.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Bugatti-Bolide-chassis-6-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Bugatti-Bolide-chassis-6-293x165.jpg 293w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Bugatti-Bolide-chassis-6-1400x788.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Inside the Bolide, the driver and co-driver are each secured with an FIA-approved six-point harness system.
