Bugatti unveils a super light hypercar can top 500 kmph

Bugatti unveils a super light hypercar can top 500 kmph

These materials originate from a 3D printer and are extremely thin with wall thicknesses of up to 0.5 millimetres. However, they are still very stable with a tensile strength of 1,250 newtons per square millimetre. Hybrid components, such as the 0.5- metre-long auxiliary drive shaft, combine wound high-strength and ultra-stiff carbon fibres with 3D-printed titanium end fittings and can withstand a continuous operating temperature of up to 260 degrees Celsius, the carmaker said.

“In this example, this reduces the weight by around half to 1.5 kilograms and, due to the reduction of the rotating masses, increases the revving ability of the engine at the same time,” the company said. The forces acting on the front and rear wings are transferred by ultralight but very solid titanium elements. They weigh 600 grams at the front and 325 grams at the rear. In addition, the flow onto the rear wing is optimised. At 320 km/h, the downforce is at 1,800 kilograms at the rear wing and 800 kilograms at the front wing.

The Bolide decelerates with racing brakes with ceramic discs and coatings. The brake callipers weigh 2.4 kilograms each. The front forged magnesium rims with central lock weigh 7.4 kilograms, while the ones at the rear weigh 8.4 kilograms – with a very wide tyre size of 340 millimetres on the front axle and 400 millimetres on the rear axle. “A compressed-air-driven jack system with four rams makes tyre changing easier, a quick refuelling system allows pressure refuelling,” Bugatti said.
