The Bugatti Tourbillon Hybrid with 1,800 hp.
Consisting of more than 600 components, the skeletonized instrument cluster is made of titanium and features sapphire crystal dials and details incorporating rubies.
The center console is made of crystal glass, which is formed in 13 individual steps to ensure stability and clarity.
This prototype of the tourbillon, presented by Robb Reportshows the stylistic influences that come from the Bugatti Type 35, Type 41 Royale and the famous Type 57SC Atlantic from the beginning of the last century.
The Tourbillon’s 1,000 hp 8.3-liter V16 naturally aspirated engine is coupled with three electric motors.
Early prototype tests indicate acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.0 seconds.
The targeted top speed is 445 km/h (276 mph), but since the speedometer goes up to 550 km/h (341 mph), we assume that even more is possible.
What you won’t find in the interior are touchscreens, as Bugatti’s design director Frank Heyl believes that an oversized screen is the main element that makes a car look outdated.
The tourbillon’s new, super-rigid case structure is made from next-generation T800 carbon composites.
At the rear, huge exhaust pipes, a Le Mans-style carbon fiber diffuser (twice the size of the Chiron) and a wave of LED lights with illuminated Bugatti lettering add visual drama.
Production is scheduled to begin in 2026.
The Bugatti Tourbillon will be limited to 250 pieces, with prices starting at 3.8 million euros each, which equates to 4.08 million dollars at today’s exchange rate.
