The Bugatti Tourbillon marks a radical transformation in the brand’s hypercar line-up, ditching the iconic quad-turbo W16 engine in favor of a stunning 8.3-liter naturally aspirated V16 developed in partnership with Cosworth. This new powertrain is significantly lighter than its predecessor, contributing to a lower overall vehicle weight than the Chiron, even with the addition of a robust hybrid system.

The hybrid strategy, championed by CEO Mate Rimac, dispenses with turbochargers, using three electric motors that add 800 hp to the 1,000 hp of the combustion engine, for a total of around 1,800 hp. The Tourbillon also features a 24.8 kWh battery, enabling a remarkable pure electric range of approximately 70 kilometers, a feat for a vehicle of this class and power.
In addition to the engine, the quest for lightness has extended to components such as the suspension, 45% lighter thanks to 3D printing and advanced materials. With production limited to 250 units for the coupe and a roadster already planned, the Tourbillon positions itself as a new milestone in hypercar engineering, signaling an audacious future for Bugatti.
