Bugatti has unveiled the Destrier, a one-off hypercar based on their track-only Bolide, boasting a 1,577bhp W16 engine, bespoke styling, and a luxurious interior. The Solitaire programme, which focuses on exclusivity and craftsmanship, commissioned the Destrier, making it unusually low, wide, and aggressive compared to Bugatti's other models.
Powered by the 8.0-litre quad-turbo W16, which has defined the company for over two decades, the Destrier is expected to cost several million pounds, potentially reaching eight figures. Unlike the Chiron, the Destrier retains the Bolide's fundamental architecture, aerodynamic management, and cooling systems while featuring bespoke bodywork and a more luxurious cabin.
Inside, the Destrier showcases Bugatti's Ambre Voyageur colour scheme blended with leather and a knitted textile, with a yoke-style steering wheel and a digital driver's display. Despite the more sculpted exterior, the Destrier maintains the Bolide's aerodynamic and cooling requirements, making it fundamentally a track car. The car will be presented at Pebble Beach, highlighting Bugatti's commitment to creating automotive rarity and celebrating the W16 engine's significance in the marque's history.
