High-performance automaker Bugatti has unveiled its next-generation hyper sports car, the Tourbillon, its successor to the Chiron. The French luxury car manufacturer said it named the new model after a watchmaking invention made by a Swiss-born “genius” living in France in 1801, describing it as “A completely original creation without compare, it is both complex and beautiful, helping to counteract the effects of gravity on a watch to ensure more consistent time-keeping,” and that “over 200 years later it is still revered as the pinnacle of watchmaking.” The 2027 Tourbillon is a hybrid vehicle with 1,800 horsepower, drawing 1,000 hp from its 8.
3-liter V16 combustion engine and 800 hp from its two electric motors. According to MotorTrend , the Tourbillon’s top speed is 227 mph, though the publication speculates Bugatti “targets 300 mph to bring it in line with the Chiron Super Sport 300+” – either with a software update or in future variants. The vehicle has a digital screen that is hidden from view until the touchscreen is deployed from the center console, which is a blend of crystal glass and aluminum.
Bugatti is taking orders for Tourbillons now, for delivery in 2026 . Only 250 models will be built, and buyers can pick one up for a cool 3.9 million euros, which is more than $4 million.
“The Tourbillon had to be incomparable in every respect. Our philosophy has been to take any single aspect of Chiron and elevate it, looking for elegant and sophisticate.
