Bugatti Bolide Monocoque, 2023. Looking like Batman's next ride, Bugatti have revealed the high-grade carbon fibre structure than hides beneath the bodywork of their track-only Bolide hypercar. The Bolide’s monocoque mirrors the proportions of a catamaran, placing the driver and passenger perfectly balanced inside the car. This arrangement enables the W16 powertrain to be positioned 60mm further forward than in the Chiron, ensuring ideal packaging for track use. The carbon fibre monocoque has been developed to meet the same Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile LMH and LMDh requirements as Le Mans race cars. Powered by the 8.0 litre W16 engine, the Bolide generates 1,600PS while the car has a dry weight of just 1,450 kg. First customers will receive their cars in 2024

Prompt:
Choose any decade(s) of the past and have Rin and Haruka deal with their love in that time.
The point of the prompt is to either have a major event from that decade as your backdrop or simply depict the decade's style and culture. Let the chosen time period(s) influence their love story. The action may take place anywhere in the world. The story doesn't have to be complicated, it can be just a simple moment from a different time (i.e. Rin and Haruka meet at the premiere of Jaws) or a recreation of a whole era. It can also be just a slice-of-life moment, with no specific beginning or ending. Anything really, as little or as big, as long as the time you refer to is clear. Rin and Haru may already be in an established relationship or they might have just met. Again, anything goes. Light-hearted or serious, it's up to you. Switching ok. Any other characters and side ships can be included.
This will probably be my last prompt fill for the event & I figured I should use the Tumblr blog I made to go wth my ao3 username.
The Bugatti Bolide is an uncompromising thoroughbred that combines the iconic W16 and remarkable lightweighting techniques for a track driving experience that is unlike any other. Yet fundamental to the Bolide’s performance is the technology behind its capacity to tame its speed when needed – the biggest carbon-carbon brake system ever produced by Brembo.
