Launch of Bugatti Tourbillon 2026: Supercar worth 4.1 million USD, 1,800HP, only 250 units

20 years since the first road-going supercar with more than 1,000 horsepower, Bugatti officially introduced a new "symbol" of technical strength and manufacturing technology - Bugatti Tourbillon, a car with a starting value of 4.1 million USD and limited to only 250 units produced. Similar to the Veyron or Chiron launched earlier, the Tourbillon continues to be the car where Bugatti "demonstrates" the top technology in engine manufacturing or the meticulousness in shaping details, which certainly always brings amazement in the world of supercars.

Bugatti Tourbillon was built closely with Bugatti's original design philosophy 115 years ago. Ettore Bugatti's historic quote was reiterated when launching this car: "If there can be comparison, it cannot be ompared." It's also a Bugatti". That's right, Bugatti makes top-notch products without any comparison, surpassing the automotive world with the most exceptional cars, its 115-year history proves it through its cars. cars like: 57SC - the most beautiful car in the world, Type 35 - the most successful racing car... and many other emerging icons.

Bugatti Tourbillon continues to be a supercar focused on beauty, performance and luxury. Bugatti wanted a car that was more elegant, more luxurious but more emotional, and most of all it was still an incomparable car. This is the first Bugatti in more than 20 years that does not use the brand's iconic W16 engine, instead using a Hybrid configuration with a naturally aspirated V16 engine, this is also a new and extremely special engine block of the brand. Bugatti.

As a brand that manufactures many supercars operating at speeds of more than 400km/h, Bugatti Tourbillon fully inherits manufacturing technology to ensure advanced aerodynamics. Still designed as a car with "horseshoes" on both sides of the car, this is not a simple symbolic design detail but is the aerodynamic design DNA of the car. The complex air flow from the front of the car has been skillfully handled in the area on both sides of the door, creating pressure on the front hood of the car while also creating air flow to the effective cooling systems. fruit.

Inherited from 20 years of experience crafting the Veyron and Chiron, the Tourbillon features a number of patented technologies. As a result, the rear spoiler will remain submerged even during top speed, because the body design has achieved perfect balance. The rear wing (quote) is now only used to create higher downforce on the road surface at slower speed ranges, while still serving as an aerodynamic braking system to increase stability when decelerating. degree.

Facing the dizzying pace of digital transformation in the car world, Bugatti has continued to stand apart from the world, not racing after such "too common" things but following the traditional path. But the mechanical system is highly precise, meticulously crafted by artisans and it will be similar to the world of mechanical watches, which can last for 10 years or hundreds of years without becoming outdated.

Furthermore, this instrument cluster is also fixed on the steering shaft but will not move while the driver turns the steering wheel. Bugatti has used 2 rotation-bearing axes of a large steering wheel, extending behind the instrument cluster, so it will not affect the instrument cluster structure but still ensures a uniform design to the features. of buttons or gearshift levers.

Combined with that is the atmospheric central control area, details using a mix of glass, crystal and aluminum materials, of course all extremely meticulously crafted. The glass used in the interior is specially made to ensure both transparency and rigidity while still being safe in case of an accident. Aluminum parts on the dashboard are monolithic aluminum, shaped by CNC machines.

Bugatti Tournillon is equipped with an entertainment screen but will easily hide it inside the Dashboard - like it never existed there. This high-definition screen is responsible for connecting to the phone, entertaining and displaying information from the car's camera. The screen will be able to rotate 90 degrees to display vertical or horizontal images as desired, but perhaps it Should be stored, the interior will become more beautiful.

The seat is fixed right under the car floor to reduce weight and lower the center of gravity as much as possible. Instead of being an electrically adjustable seat to suit the body type of the person sitting, now the adjustment will be the accelerator pedal area, brakes, still ensuring compatibility with many different sitting conditions. Bugatti creates unique things not only that, with this new sound system they also do not use traditional subwoofers, instead there will be new generations of speakers combined with the physical structure of the door, car cabin frame to use them as a subwoofer for the cabin, Bugatti says this system helps reduce weight and is more effective than a traditional audio setup.

Bugatti is often talked about as more than just a high-performance car, it is truly a work of art, down to the smallest details and the invisible details. This completely new platform from Bugatti also "satisfies" that user intuitively, Bugatti says that they have deliberately crafted the details so that when you look at it, you think it is a Titan, then it is a Titan. , or you see - think it's leather, carbon or crystal then it's true.

The electric motors are powered by an 800V battery pack, 25kW capacity. This electric motor has a rotation speed of up to 24,000 rpm. This electric motor's main goal is to add accelerator response speed, add torque or general power to the car when the internal combustion engine is at low rpm, of course with this not too small battery pack. also helps this Tourbillon move smoothly and quietly within a range of 60km when the battery is full.

Explaining this "electrification", Bugatti said: Thanks to the combination of a new transmission system and an advanced, lightweight electric motor system, the Tourbillon has achieved good performance, enhancing the experience. driving experience but reduces emissions into the environment. But most importantly, this car retains the pure and raw analog feel of a naturally aspirated combustion engine, while combining it with the agility provided by an electric motor.

The all-new chassis integrates a multi-link front and rear suspension system, forged from aluminum, changing from the double-wishbone steel structure on the Chiron. By choosing a newly designed and vertical suspension arm, 3D printed in aluminum, engineers saved 45% of the suspension weight compared to the Chiron. The rear also features a 3D printed hollow air arm developed by AI to enhance the car's dynamics and aerodynamic performance.

The braking system is equally advanced, featuring optimal carbon ceramic technology. A separate brake-by-wire system is introduced, fully integrated with the movable brake pedal and seamlessly blended through the vehicle's integrated nonlinear controller developed by Bugatti with the hybrid powertrain. The Michelin Pilot Cup Sport 2 tires - 285/35 R20 at the front and 345/30 R21 at the rear - are a bespoke development for the Tourbillon.

The Bugatti Tourbillon is currently entering its testing phase, with prototypes already on the test track, which is expected to keep pace with customer deliveries scheduled for 2026. A total of 250 cars will be produced. production, starting price is 4.1 million USD (3.8 million EURO). The car will be assembled manually at the Bugatti Atelier - Molsheim factory, after the last Bugatti models using the W16 engine such as the Bolide and Mistral complete the order.
