1981-1988 Civetta Bolide

      The Civetta Bolide is a 1980s sports car built by Civetta. Named after the Italian word for "Fireball", the Bolide is a wedge-shaped car with defined angles, pop-up headlights, and plenty of flat sides, suggesting a production run of somewhere between 1978 and 1989.

     

     As of the pre-race update, the Bolide comes in three variants: the 320, with a 3.2L V8 making around 200 hp, the 350 GT, with a 3.5L V8 making 290 hp, and the 390 GTR, with a 3.9L V8 making 440 hp. The 320 takes 6.3 seconds to go from 0-60 mph, while the 350 GT takes 4.7 seconds and the 390 GTR does it in a blistering 3.8 seconds.

     

     The 320 is equipped with narrow black steel wheels, while the 350 GT has 1 inch wider alloys, front and rear. The 390 GTR is equipped with wide-body fender flares, deeply inset alloy wheels, and massive tires. All Bolide variants weigh roughly 1350 kg. The 390 GTR also features stiffened, lowered suspension, making it less suited to uneven terrain but more responsive on a smooth racetrack. The 390 GTR is capable of reaching nearly 200 mph, while the 350 GT can reach about 170 and the 320 approaches 140 mph. The Bolide 320 is remarkably easy to drive compared to its more powerful brethren due to its power deficit. However, it's still reasonably quick, and is in a dead heat with the Covet Sport around most racetracks.
