- The 2027 Bugatti Tourbillon’s revolutionary hybrid powertrain combines an 8.3L V16 engine with three electric motors to deliver 1,800 hp.
- Ground-breaking aerodynamics feature a submerged rear wing system for stability.
- Limited production run of 250 units starting in 2026.
Bugatti has never been one to play it safe, but with the upcoming 2027 Tourbillon, the French automaker isn’t just pushing boundaries – it’s launching them into another dimension. This new car is the successor to the Chiron and has a price tag of $4.1 million USD (~$6.5 million AUD). However, considering the innovative technology used in this machine, that figure is almost reasonable.
Engineering Brilliance Meets Sustainable Power
The Tourbillon is a hybrid powerhouse that clearly shows Bugatti’s commitment to performance. A naturally aspirated 8.3-litre V16, which was developed with Cosworth, gives 1,000 horsepower and 900 Nm of torque, but that’s just the beginning. Three electric motors are also installed with the V16 and contribute an additional 800 horsepower, giving a total output of 1,800 horsepower.
Because of this, the performance figures are nothing short of extraordinary. The Tourbillon goes from 0-60 mph in just 2.1 seconds and has a top speed of 227 mph (365 km/h), with future iterations being expected to break the 300mph barrier. All this power is managed through an advanced 8-speed dual-clutch transmission, which makes sure you have seamless control over your vehicle even at the highest speed.
Design and Technology
Bugatti’s engineers didn’t just fine-tune the Tourbillon – they reinvented how air flows around a car. The submerged rear wing system keeps the Tourbillon stable at full speed, increases downforce when needed, and even works as an airbrake during deceleration. The chassis, which is made from T800 carbon composite and reinforced with 3D-printed aluminum braces, also sets a new standard for the solid structure and reduced weight of a car.
The car’s interior is just as impressive as the exterior. It boasts hand-stitched leather, carbon fiber accents, and precision-machined aluminium components. There’s also a retractable digital screen and a steering wheel that rotates around a hidden column, making the cockpit feel like an art installation on wheels.
And let’s not forget about the suspension. Bugatti teamed up with Divergent Technologies and used AI-assisted design along with advanced 3D printing to create components that are 45% lighter than those in the Chiron without sacrificing durability or performance.
Through these advancements, Bugatti has marked a new chapter in the creation of hypercars, and as production kicks off in 2026, the lucky 250 buyers won’t just be getting an average Bugatti. They’ll be holding an engineering masterpiece.
