In June, French supercar maker Bugatti unveiled its latest model, ushering in a new era for the brand. With the Chiron now discontinued, the new model, aptly named Tourbillon, takes center stage with a global production run of 500 units and a price tag of $2.6 million.
Currently, the Bugatti Tourbillon is on a worldwide debut tour, and one of its important stops is Monaco, a haven for supercars. With up to 1,775 horsepower and a price tag almost double that of the Chiron, the Tourbillon is a beast of a machine.
Under the hood, the Bugatti Tourbillon boasts a naturally aspirated, 8.3-liter V16 engine designed by Cosworth, delivering 986 horsepower at 9,000 rpm. This engine, coupled with three electric motors, produces a staggering combined output of 1,775 horsepower. With a 0-100 km/h sprint time of just 2 seconds and a top speed of 445 km/h, the Tourbillon is a force to be reckoned with.
It takes the Tourbillon just 10 seconds to reach 300 km/h, leaving its predecessor, the Chiron, behind by 3-4 seconds. The Tourbillon can also attain a speed of 400 km/h in under 25 seconds, compared to the Chiron’s 32.6 seconds and the Rimac Nevera’s record-breaking 21.3 seconds. The Tourbillon’s default top speed is electronically limited to 380 km/h, but with the optional speed key, it can reach an astonishing 445 km/h. Additionally, the Tourbillon can travel up to 60 km on electric power alone.
Limited to just 250 units, the Bugatti Tourbillon is set to enter production soon, with deliveries expected to commence in 2026. This ultimate supercar from Bugatti carries a price tag of $4.2 million, reflecting its exclusivity and performance.
