This is Bugatti’s latest creation, the Tourbillon.
This is Automotive Excess – But I Quite Like It.
Gone is the iconic W16 engine, replaced by an all-new 8.3-litre naturally aspirated V16, paired with a sophisticated hybrid system, producing a staggering 1,800 horsepower
This isn't just about raw power; it continues Bugatti’s focus on elegance, luxury, and design.
The Tourbillon features an analogue instrument cluster crafted by Swiss watchmakers, ensuring a classic look that'll never age, which is no bad thing, even if it’s a bit gimmicky.
Its aerodynamic design, including advanced electric motors and patented technology, allows it to soar to about 250 miles per hour and maintain impeccable stability.
But maybe that’s a mistake. When a car is too easy to drive, like the Veyron and Chiron are, for me, it loses some of its appeal.
But I needn’t worry because this engineering wonder will be hand-assembled, and once 250 of these masterpieces are made, with a starting price of 3.8 million euros, which nobody ever pays because of the personalisation on offer, I’ll have missed out.
But at that price, I’ll not lose any sleep over it, as much as I’m looking forward to seeing one in person.
