The Bugatti Tourbillon stands as a beacon of innovation and artistry, blending over a century of heritage with cutting-edge engineering. Rooted in the philosophy of Ettore Bugatti, the Tourbillon embodies the mantra "if comparable it is no longer Bugatti," melding unparalleled beauty, performance, and luxury into a singular, incomparable entity. The car is named after the watchmaking invention "tourbillon," symbolizing its intricate mechanical elegance and timeless quality, akin to the prized Swiss horology.
A defining feature of the Tourbillon is its revolutionary powertrain, which marries an all-new 8.3-liter naturally aspirated V16 engine with a sophisticated electric powertrain. This hybrid system generates a staggering 1,800 horsepower, launching the car beyond the achievements of its predecessor, the Chiron. Made possible through Bugatti's partnership with Cosworth, the V16 engine alone provides 1,000 horsepower, complemented by 800 horsepower from the cutting-edge electric motors. This hybrid setup not only ensures phenomenal acceleration and speed but also offers an impressive all-electric range of over 60 kilometers, despite the car's remarkable power.
Every design decision in the Tourbillon is guided by the principles of aerodynamics and thermodynamics central to Bugatti's ethos. The exterior, characterized by its horseshoe grille, Bugatti Line, and meticulous dual-color split, is sculpted to thrive at speeds exceeding 400 km/h. Inside, the Tourbillon eschews transient digital trends for timeless analogue craftsmanship, featuring a bespoke instrument cluster designed by Swiss watchmakers. This emphasis on enduring craftsmanship extends to every element of the interior, ensuring that the Tourbillon is not just a car for today, but a masterpiece meant to captivate for generations to come.
