Bugatti Tourbillon Top Speed

The Bugatti Tourbillon is the successor to the Chiron, revealed in June 2024 and the first Bugatti of the Rimac era. It breaks with two decades of tradition: after the Veyron and Chiron both used a quad-turbo W16, the Tourbillon is powered by a naturally aspirated 8.3-litre V16 developed with Cosworth, revving to 9,000 rpm with a crankshaft roughly a metre long.

That engine produces 1,000 hp on its own. Three electric motors — two on the front axle, one at the rear — add a further 800 hp, for a combined 1,800 hp. A 24.8 kWh, 800-volt battery gives more than 60 km of electric-only running, and drive goes through an eight-speed dual-clutch gearbox to all four wheels.

The name comes from watchmaking: a tourbillon is a rotating escapement cage designed to counter the effect of gravity on a mechanical movement. Bugatti carried the theme into the cabin, where the instrument cluster is a genuine analogue assembly built with Swiss watchmakers rather than a screen — a deliberate bet that mechanical craft ages better than software.

Production is capped at 250 cars at roughly €3.8 million each, built at a rate of around 80 per year, with first deliveries from 2026.
