In 2004, Bugatti revolutionized the automotive world with the Veyron, a hyper sports car boasting 1,001 hp. This was followed in 2016 by the Chiron, the world's first 1,500 hp car, redefining performance expectations. Both cars featured the advanced 8.0-liter quad-turbo W16 engine. Now, 20 years later, Bugatti introduces a completely new powertrain and platform with the Bugatti Tourbillon, moving away from the iconic W16 engine.
Heritage and Naming
The Tourbillon departs from the tradition of naming models after Bugatti racing legends, drawing instead from the French term "tourbillon," a watchmaking invention symbolizing mechanical timelessness and Bugatti's French heritage. This reflects the car's timeless design and advanced engineering, akin to the enduring craftsmanship of horology.
