Customization on luxury cars and hypercars has gone way past simply selecting paint colors, ticking option boxes and paying extra for carbon fiber finishes. Wealthy customers now have the chance to design and spec truly one-of-a-kind machines that reflect their style, and even what’s most important to them. Of course, this also means that every now and then, you’ll come across a billionaire collector who wants their Bugatti Bolide track-day special to match their private jet, and Bugatti is not one to back down from the challenge.

The matching Bolide and Gulfstream G550 jet, showcased by O’Gara Coach and Bugatti Beverly Hills, demonstrates how far personalization can extend into a collector’s lifestyle. Both the hypercar and aircraft wear coordinating liveries inspired by Bugatti’s traditional racing colors, finished in Bugatti Blue and French Racing Blue that pay homage to Bugatti’s racing history.

Limited to just 40 examples worldwide, the Bolide represents Bugatti’s return to its racing roots. Pricing on this track-only hypercar starts from $4.7 million, and it delivers 1,600 horsepower from its quad-turbocharged 8.0-liter W16 engine. That’s enough to propel the Bolide from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.2 seconds.

With its top speed electronically limited at 311 mph, the Bolide stands as the final production vehicle to feature Bugatti’s iconic W16 powerplant. Weighing under 3,200 lbs, the Bolide’s power-to-weight ratio rivals Formula 1 race cars.
