- Three ultra-rare Bugatti Bolides drove on a frozen Swiss lake.
- The I.C.E. St. Moritz event hosted rare Bugattis and Rimacs.
- Mate Rimac drove a classic EB110 alongside modern hypercars.
It’s one thing to own a hyper-rare, multi-million-dollar track car. It’s another entirely to take it out onto a frozen lake. Bugatti has built just 40 examples of its Bolide, yet despite the car’s immense value, three were recently driven across an icy lake in Switzerland, proving there are some Bugatti owners actually willing to drive their cars.
The trio of Bolides attended the recent The I.C.E. St. Moritz event in Switzerland, and each was driven across the snow and ice in a scene about as far removed from warm racetracks where the Bolide was honed as possible.

One of the Bolides has an exposed carbon-fiber exterior, one features a range of blue and carbon accents, and the other combines a deep shade of red with black accents.
The Bolide was brought to life as the production-spec version of one of the craziest concept cars ever conceived by Bugatti. It’s the closest thing to a Le Mans racer that Bugatti has ever sold, capable of hitting 62 mph (100 km/h) in 2.2 seconds and producing almost 3,000 kg of downforce at its 236 mph (380 km/h) top speed. Obviously, none of that downforce could be put to use on this ice track.
While the Bolides were the stars of the show, they weren’t the only Bugattis making an appearance. Three unique Veyrons also turned heads. Among them, the Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse Soleil de Nuit and the Meo Costantini edition, joined by one of just three Rembrandt Bugatti Grand Sport Vitesse models.
Bugatti Rimac chief executive Mate Rimac was also in attendance, bringing along a pair of Rimac Neveras, and even spending some time on the snow behind the wheel of a rare Bugatti EB110. Several classic Bugattis were also there, including a Type 13, Type 35, and Type 37A.
“Our discerning customers were hugely excited to be part of this wondrous event, and to drive their cars in such a spectacular environment – from the unprecedented Bolide showcase on the ice, to the elegant Veyron homage with graceful ice skaters,” Bugatti managing director Hendrik Malinowski said.
