Bugatti Unleashes Its V-16 Fury with the Tourbillon
In a world of electric hypercars, Mate Rimac, CEO of Bugatti Rimac, stands firm in his love for combustion engines. The Bugatti Tourbillon, equipped with a glorious 8.3-liter engine, roars to life in a newly released video. This prototype, set to go into production, promises to deliver rapid acceleration and an unforgettable sound.
A Thunderous Symphony
The Bugatti Tourbillon is powered by a V-16 engine, harking back to the traditions of classic car design. While other automakers embrace downsizing and electrification, Bugatti refuses to compromise. With a staggering 9,000 rpm and a naturally aspirated V-16 engine, the Tourbillon is set to become one of the highest-revving production cars ever made.
A Rare Jewel
With only 250 units scheduled for production and deliveries starting in 2026, the Bugatti Tourbillon is a rare gem. By placing a V-16 engine in a production car, Bugatti bids farewell to the era of large-displacement engines with a bang. Coupled with a possible hybrid powertrain, the Tourbillon represents a unique blend of tradition and innovation.
Preserving the Legacy
While electric hypercars dominate the market, Bugatti remains committed to the power and sound of internal combustion engines. The Tourbillon's roaring V-16 engine is a testament to the brand's dedication to preserving automotive history and delivering an extraordinary driving experience.
