Bugatti’s track-only Bolide demands an obsessive level of care, starting with its tires. Owners are required to replace the tires after just 60 kilometers of driving to maintain peak grip and performance. Each set costs around 8000 dollars. Before fitting, tires must undergo a complex three-stage heat cycling process to create an even grip pattern.

Interestingly, despite the Bolide being illegal for road use, it still comes with special transport tires to help move the car easily when needed. Compared to other Bugatti models like the Chiron and the Veyron, which have tire replacement costs reaching up to 42000 dollars, the Bolide’s tire expense might seem relatively modest. Yet, the frequency of replacement elevates the total ownership cost to another level.

Beyond tires, the Bolide demands strict adherence to a replacement schedule for several key components. The largest carbon brakes ever fitted to a track car sit behind its massive wheels, with anticipated high future replacement costs. Safety equipment such as seatbelts, interior padding materials, and even the flexible fuel tank all have expiry dates.

An integrated fire extinguisher system, with a battery life of only one year, adds to the complexity. Owners must also familiarize themselves with emergency engine shutoff systems, operated via cabin-mounted buttons or an external pull handle, ensuring maximum safety during high-speed events.
