Bugatti has announced its new hypercar. This time, speed enthusiasts are offered the hybrid car Tourbillon (translated as "whirlwind", "hurricane"), which combines a naturally aspirated engine with three electric motors, totaling 1800 hp and a speed of up to 446 km/h.
Tourbillon features a completely new 8.3-liter naturally aspirated V16 power unit with a capacity of 1000 hp. In addition, a pair of electric motors are installed on the front axle, and another electric motor is located on the rear axle, providing a total power of 800 hp (596 kW). The electric motors are powered by a relatively small 25 kWh battery with oil cooling and a voltage of 800 V. In fully electric mode, Tourbillon has a range of 60 km.
The steering wheel of the Bugatti Tourbillon resembles Swiss watches. The car has a fully analog instrument panel block located on the steering wheel, which consists of over 600 individual parts made of titanium, aluminum, crystal, rubies, and sapphires.
A hidden HD display is located in the central console, which can be unfolded in portrait or landscape mode when needed, displaying the car's data or the image from the rear view camera.
Composite materials are widely used in the car's design, and the suspension parts are made by 3D printing. All this makes the Tourbillon lighter than its predecessor, the Chiron, even with the V16 engine, which weighs 252 kg.
Bugatti Tourbillon is currently going through the testing phase, with prototypes already being tested on roads. The price of the car will be $4 million, and deliveries to customers are planned to begin in 2026. A total of 250 cars are planned to be produced, which will be assembled by hand.
