Bugatti’s Tourbillon hypercar, with its carbon-fiber chassis and V-16 plug-in hybrid powertrain generating 1,775 hp, seems nearly perfect—but Bugatti has found a strategy to elevate it even further: adding eight exhaust suggestions.
That’s greater than the famous six exhaust suggestions of the long-lasting Type 57SC Atlantic and serves as a nod to the 2 banks of eight cylinders forming the V-16 engine. Also included within the package—whose name is French for “Thoroughbred Team”—are unique designs for the front splitter, rear diffuser, and rear wing, the latter featuring small endplates.
The wheels, measuring 20 inches on the front and 21 on the rear, are also recent and shaped to direct more air to the rear radiators. Additional carbon-fiber accents enhance the vehicle’s exterior, while inside, the package includes unique trim options plus a performance seat for the driving force with improved bolstering to handle high g-forces.
Production of the Tourbillon doesn’t begin until 2026, but future owners are already being invited to customize their cars. Along with the Équipe Pur Sang package, buyers have a myriad of options to select from, including 23 exterior colours, 20 leather options, 10 Alcantara options, and 7 carpet colours.
Bugatti Tourbillon with Équipe Pur Sang package
Powering the Tourbillon is a naturally aspirated 8.3-liter V-16 engine paired with three electric motors—two on the front and one on the rear. The V-16 alone produces roughly 986 hp, while the electrical motors contribute an extra 790 hp, bringing the total system output to 1,775 hp.
Working in tandem with the electrical motors, Bugatti estimates the Tourbillon will speed up from 0-62 mph in 2.0 seconds, 0-124 mph in under 5.0 seconds, 0-186 mph in under 10.0 seconds, and 0-248 mph in under 25.0 seconds. Top speed is electronically limited to 276 mph, but Bugatti has hinted that no less than one version of the Tourbillon might surpass 500 kph (310.7 mph).
Just 250 examples shall be built, each priced from around $4 million. Pricing for the Équipe Pur Sang package hasn’t been announced but will almost definitely run into the six figures.
