The Tourbillon starts a new chapter after Bugatti’s W16-powered cars. Its 8.3-litre naturally aspirated V16 was developed with Cosworth and works with two front electric motors and one at the rear. Bugatti quotes 1,800 hp in total, using that unit in its launch release.

The hybrid system includes a 25 kWh battery. Bugatti announced a production run of 250 cars and a 2026 delivery target at launch. That original target is not evidence that deliveries have begun.

The cabin is part of the story

A mechanical instrument cluster, made with Swiss watchmaking expertise, sits inside a fixed steering-wheel hub. The seats are fixed low in the chassis while the pedal box adjusts to the driver. A screen can deploy from the centre console when needed.
