THE BUGATTI TOURBILLON: AN AUTOMOTIVE ICON ‘POUR L’ÉTERNITÉ’

PRESS RELEASE

2024/06/21 FRI

In 2004, the reborn Bugatti brand transformed the world of automotive performance and luxury with a 1,001 hp hypersports car: the Veyron. The first road car with more than 1,000 hp was succeeded in 2016 by another engineering feat so ambitious it reset all expectations of performance, the world’s first 1,500 hp car: the Chiron. At the heart of these cars was the world’s most advanced automotive engine: an 8.0-litre quad-turbo W16. Now, 20 years after Bugatti invented the hypersports car, it redefines the concept completely with an entirely new powertrain and platform. This is the Bugatti Tourbillon.

Bugatti-Rimac CEO Mate Rimac said: the Bugatti Tourbillon embodies 115 years of history and the words of Ettore Bugatti, ‘if comparable it is no longer Bugatti’ and ‘nothing is too beautiful’. The name "Tourbillon" comes from a French word, a subtle reference to Bugatti’s French heritage and home in Molsheim, the tourbillon is a watchmaking invention of a Swiss-born genius living in France in 1801. A completely original creation without compare, it is both complex and beautiful and designed as a car for eternity.

The Tourbillon is ‘shaped by speed’. The ability to travel at more than 400 km/h requires every single surface, inlet and ridge to be finely honed to ensure it is not only aerodynamic but also beneficial to the car’s thermodynamics. This is the guiding principle of the Tourbillon, which is then evolved around four Bugatti design elements inspired by history: the horseshoe grille, the Bugatti Line, the central ridge and the dual colour split.

Using over 20 years of expertise from the Veyron and Chiron, the Tourbillon features a number of patented technologies. As a result, the rear wing even remains submerged during top-speed runs, with a perfect equilibrium of forces generated by these new innovations. The interior was designed and built with the expertise of Swiss watchmakers. The centre console is a blend of crystal glass and aluminium, revealing the intricate workings of the switches. The seats, for example, are fixed to the floor to be as light and as low as they can possibly be, and the pedal box can be electrically adjusted forward and backward to ensure a comfortable driving position for everyone. Thanks to this new solution, the interior is spacious, making it ideal for longer trips and daily use.

The Bugatti Tourbillon combines an all-new 8.3-litre V16 naturally aspirated engine with 3 electric motors that deliver a total of 1,800 hp. The electric motors are powered by a 25 kWh oil-cooled 800V battery housed in the central tunnel and behind the passengers. A total of 250 examples will be built, with a starting price of 3.8m EUR net in anticipation of customer deliveries in 2026.

BINGO SPORTS will handle this new model as “Bugatti Osaka", a new official partner in Japan. Our newly built showroom is scheduled to open in Q3 of 2025 at one of the best locations in the Kansai region and fully embodies the world of Bugatti/with an interior design and exterior based on Bugatti dealer standards.
