Bugatti’s 1,800HP Tourbillon Supercar

Bugatti has marked its 20th anniversary of producing hyper sports cars by unveiling the Tourbillon, an 1,800 horsepower supercar. Revealed in a recent live-streamed event titled “Pour l’éternité” (For eternity), this new model signifies a major leap forward with its hybrid powertrain. It incorporates an 8.3-litre V16 engine, engineered with Cosworth, and three electric motors that together generate 1,824 horsepower.

The Tourbillon features a 25kWh battery housed in the central tunnel, providing an all-electric range of up to 37 miles. Its light yet powerful construction includes a new chassis with multi-link suspension and a carbon composite body, ensuring it weighs less than its predecessor, the Chiron.

A limited run of only 250 examples will be produced, with deliveries slated for 2026. The price starts at €3.8 million ($4.1 million). Key design elements draw inspiration from Bugatti’s heritage, including references to the 1936 Bugatti Type 57S Atlantic. Inside, it boasts a fixed seat design and an electrically adjustable pedal box, enhancing comfort and space.

CEO Mate Rimac highlighted that the Tourbillon adheres to Bugatti’s founding principles, marrying classic aesthetics with cutting-edge performance and engineering. The model will be hand-assembled at the Bugatti Atelier in Molsheim, France.

The car’s interior is like no other.
