Up-Close Look Inside a Bugatti Bolide Hypercar and its Futuristic Cockpit

Based on the Chiron, the $4.36-million Bugatti Bolide is limited to just 40-units worldwide, which means very few people are able to get an up-close look inside the hypercar. Thanks to an all-new lightweight and high-strength monocoque, every detail of its interior has been exquisitely crafted for this track-only vehicle.

The first thing you’ll notice is a new seating position that leans rearwards into the Bolide, enabling the driver’s heels to sit slightly raised and for the passenger to be optimally angled towards the nose of the vehicle. This is the same setup found in some of the world’s most extreme race cars. Surprisingly, there are no parts nor trim levels shared with the Chiron family, as the Bolide features exclusive optimized racing seats, a high-tech steering wheel and a host of safety tools. For those wondering about the engine, it’s powered by a quad-turbocharged 8.0L W16 engine generating 1,578 hp and 1,180 lb-ft of torque, paired to a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.

SpaceX Starship completed its second flight last week, and in doing so, it successfully fired up all 33 of its Raptor engines. Elon Musk recently uploaded footage of the launch that provides us with an up-close look at the Raptor engines.



SpaceX’s Raptor is the third rocket engine ever to be designed to use a full-flow staged-combustion-cycle, as well as the first of its kind to power a spacecraft. The liquid methane/oxygen fuel is also being used by many different companies such as Blue Origin’s BE-4 engine, as well as the Space Epoch’s Longyun-70, the latter of which has been described as a ‘mini Starship’.

Congratulations to the entire SpaceX team on an exciting second integrated flight test of Starship! Starship successfully lifted off under the power of all 33 Raptor engines on the Super Heavy Booster and made it through stage separation,” said the SpaceX team.

Yes, there is a real volcano that spews blue lava, and it’s called Kawa Ijen. It’s located in East Java, Indonesia nestled inside an eponymous larger caldera Ijen, which is approximately 20 kilometers (12 miles) wide.



Kawa Ijen is touted as “the largest acid barrel on Earth” by geologists, due to its high concentration of sulfuric acid and various minerals, which also gives the lake its stunning blue-greenish color. Thousands of tourists each year to see the eerie blue flames caused by sulfuric gases escaping from the cracks in the volcanic crater.
