Bugatti Tourbillon Debuts as 1,800-HP Hybrid Hypercar
Twenty years after launching the Veyron, Bugatti has revealed the Tourbillon, an all-new hybrid hypercar that replaces the brand’s legendary W16 engine with a naturally aspirated V16 and three electric motors. Limited to 250 examples worldwide, the Tourbillon is scheduled to enter production in 2026 with a starting price of approximately $4.35 million USD (net).
Developed by Bugatti Rimac, the Tourbillon delivers a combined 1,800 horsepower, with 1,000 hp coming from its new 8.3-liter V16 engine and 800 hp supplied by an advanced hybrid system. The 800-volt battery also provides more than 60 kilometers (37 miles) of all-electric driving range.
“The development of the Bugatti Tourbillon was guided at every step by the 115 years of Bugatti history,” said Mate Rimac, CEO of Bugatti Rimac. “Beauty, performance and luxury formed the blueprint for the Tourbillon.”
Designed around an entirely new carbon-composite platform, the Tourbillon weighs less than its predecessor despite adding hybrid technology. The car also introduces new aerodynamic features, including an integrated rear diffuser, active rear wing, and electrically operated dihedral doors.
Inside, Bugatti has prioritized mechanical craftsmanship over permanent digital displays. The cabin features an analogue instrument cluster created by Swiss watchmakers using more than 600 components, while a hidden touchscreen deploys only when needed for navigation, vehicle information, and connectivity.
The Tourbillon’s name is inspired by the celebrated watchmaking complication, reflecting Bugatti’s goal of creating a vehicle designed to remain timeless rather than technology driven.
