As the new boss of Bugatti, Xia Yu was qualified to test drive the car. After Stefan told him many control details of Bolide, he started the engine with one button and drove the prototype car out of the workshop.
The Bugatti factory has a small number of employees, but the headquarters is large, so simple test drives are still possible.
Compared with the previous heavy-duty models, the Bolide has reduced its weight to 1247kg and is so slim that it looks like a small Bugatti.
It can only be said that this is worthy of being a new car launched by Old Wen. The Sixth Element, which weighed less than 1 ton, was also his work. It just so happened that Bugatti had the potential to lose weight, so Bolide was born.
Driving the Bolide around the factory, Xia Yu felt like he was driving an F1 car, but there were no 16-cylinder F1s at the time, so a 1 was better.
After driving the car back to the workshop, Xia Yu got out and took off his helmet. He wanted to have a good talk with Lao Wen about Bolide and the company's future operations.
Throw the helmet to Ji Yang. This guy has been greedy for it since the beginning, so let him drive for a while!
Arriving at the factory's president's office, the logistics manager brought two cups of coffee and closed the door, leaving the space for the two of them.
"Stephen, I want to get Bolide into mass production as soon as possible. Do you think it can be done before the end of this year?"
"If the limit is 10 vehicles, I think it can be done."
Bolide is a racing car, and it is not constrained by the rules and regulations of road cars, so the speed of mass production is naturally fast.
"Then let's order 10. What's the price?"
"We spent 10 months designing and developing this car. To spread the development costs and retain a reasonable profit, my suggestion is 9.5 million euros."
Lao Wen gave his suggestions.
This price is 1.5 million more expensive than the Bugatti Centodieci's 8 million euros before tax, but it is a major benefit for domestic buyers.
Xia Yu and Ji Yang's Centodieci are not registered. They were bought as collections and at most they are used to race on the track. This is even more true for the Bolide, a purebred racing car.
"At this price, the 8 spots should be gone in no time!"
"Of course, we have a loyal customer base who are happy to pay for a new Bugatti, no matter how much it costs."
Old Wen said proudly.
It's just a car, how expensive can it be? The quoted price of 10 million euros is only more than 70 million RMB, and the unit price before tax is less than 100 million. For those rich people in low-tax countries, it is less than one percent of their assets.
With Xia Yu's current net worth, it is not a problem for him to buy a few thousand cars. However, Bugatti's annual production capacity of less than 100 cars is a bit worrying, and orders are directly scheduled until after 2050.
"Okay, let's talk about the next thing."
