The Bugatti Tourbillon: Redefining Speed and Luxury
‘The tyres are rated for 300 mph and cost more than a Porsche Boxster.’
The Bugatti Tourbillon is an automotive marvel that blends art and engineering.
Powered by a V16 hybrid drivetrain delivering 1,800 PS, it rockets to 277 mph with a speed key.
Inspired by Swiss watchmaking, its interior boasts sapphire and titanium finishes.
The Tourbillon raises the bar for hypercars with timeless elegance and record-breaking performance.
Curious about the masterpiece behind the name? Let’s dive in.
In the early 2000s, the Bugatti Veyron stunned the world with its groundbreaking 1,001 PS. It was the first car to redefine the term ‘supercar’.
In the 2020s, Bugatti unveiled the Tourbillon, named after a watchmaking mechanism that ensures precision and timelessness.
Both are fitting metaphors for Bugatti’s craftsmanship.
The Tourbillon features a new 8.3-litre V16 engine paired with a hybrid drivetrain.
With a combined output of 1,800 PS and 3,000 Nm of torque, enabling a top speed of 277 mph (with the speed key).
The Speed Key is a physical key that is a safety feature to prevent casual use of the car’s full capabilities.
Performance:
0-186 mph in 5 seconds.
0-249 mph in 10 seconds.
0-249 mph in 25 seconds
It also offers 37 miles of pure electric range due to the 800-volt 25-kWh battery.
The iconic curved rear light strip and illuminated Bugatti logo are standout features.
Three roof fins and an aerodynamic chassis deliver unrivalled stability at high speeds.
The rear wing remains retracted until braking or lower speeds demand downforce.
Interior:
Crafted with 600+ precision parts using sapphire, titanium, and ruby.
A hidden touchscreen, deployable in portrait or landscape mode, complements the crystal and aluminium centre console.
Legacy:
The Bugatti Tourbillon honours tradition while pushing boundaries—a speed, style, and elegance masterpiece.
‘The Speed Key doesn’t just unlock 277 mph; it unlocks a direct conversation with your life insurance provider.’
