First Look: 2026 Bugatti Tourbillon revealed

Introducing Bugatti’s latest creation, the Tourbillon. This new flagship hypercar boasts a powerful 1,800-hp hybrid V-16 engine.

The engine is a naturally aspirated 8.3-litre V16 that can rev up to 9,500 rpm. Built with the help of Cosworth, it alone produces 1,000 hp.

Thanks to its 25 kWh centrally mounted battery pack, the Tourbillon can also operate in electric mode and has an estimated range of 60 kilometres. Not to mention the 800 hp it contributes to the total output. Looks like that Rimac connection is definitely helping!

The front e-axle has two electric motors, while a third motor positioned at the back helps spin the rear wheels.

The Tourbillon accelerates from 0 to 100 kph in just 2.0 seconds and can hit a top speed of 444 kph when the special “Speed Key” is activated. Despite being a hybrid, the Tourbillon is lighter than its predecessor, the Chiron.

In terms of design, the Tourbillon retains Bugatti’s iconic look with Chiron-esque features, a special diffuser, large side intakes, and the distinctive horseshoe grille. It also incorporates a new, lighter multi-link suspension system.

This precision mechanism is not just a nod to the world of horology but a testament to our commitment to mechanical perfection. You’ll be greeted by a stunning analogue interior when you open the electrically actuated dihedral doors of the Bugatti Tourbillon.

Three large dials affixed to the steering wheel display everything from speed to engine revs, fuel quantity, engine temperature, and more. There isn’t a screen in sight.

Bugatti CEO Mate Rimac emphasized that the Tourbillon stays true to Bugatti’s legacy while embracing the future of hypersports cars. The Tourbillon will hit the market in 2026 with a starting price of approximately $3.9 million.

Only 250 of the Bugatti Tourbillon will be made, but we are pretty sure we will see some on the roads of UAE and KSA.
