The Chiron's successor — a naturally aspirated 8.3L V16 paired with three electric motors and a watch-inspired analog dashboard.

Performance, build, and ownership-cost composite.
The Tourbillon is Bugatti's first fully new car under the Bugatti Rimac partnership, and its most important decision was to abandon the W16. In its place is a naturally aspirated 8.3-litre V16 developed with Cosworth, revving to 9,000 rpm, making around 1,000 hp on its own — no turbochargers at all, which for Bugatti is a philosophical reversal. Three electric motors, two front and one rear, take the combined figure to 1,775 hp.
The name comes from watchmaking, and the interior is where that reference lands. The instrument cluster is a mechanical assembly of over 600 titanium and jewel components, built by Swiss watchmakers, with a fixed hub so the dials stay upright as the wheel turns. There is no permanent touchscreen — a display can rise out of the console if you want one, and retract when you don't. Bugatti's stated aim was a cabin that would look correct in a hundred years.
Underneath is a new carbon monocoque with 3D-printed structural elements, multi-link suspension with 3D-printed aluminium components, and a 25 kWh battery integrated into the central tunnel giving around 37 miles of electric range.
250 will be built. Against the Nevera and the Ferrari F80, the Tourbillon's position is the same as Bugatti's has always been: the least aggressive, the most luxurious, and the one built as an heirloom rather than a lap-time weapon.
Practical guide for everything a new owner asks on day one — starting the car, finding the gear selector, drive modes, infotainment, driver aids, and easy-to-miss features.
Insert the silver driving key into the slot to the LEFT of the seat, between the door and the sill. Press the brake. Press the start button on the steering wheel. The W16 catches in about a second. (The second 'Top Speed' key only unlocks 261+ mph mode.)
Brushed-aluminum dial between the seats — rotate to R, N, A (Auto), or M (Manual) and use the paddles. There is no traditional 'D'; A is your daily-drive setting.
Drive modes are accessed via the second key (Top Speed key) + EB drive-mode dial. Available modes typically include EB, Autobahn, Handling, Top Speed. Each mode reshuffles throttle mapping, steering weight, adaptive dampers (if equipped), exhaust valves, and stability-control thresholds. On performance trims, an 'Individual' or 'Custom' slot lets you save your favorite combination so you can recall it with one click instead of nesting through menus.
The driver display is a Central analog tach flanked by digital displays. Use the steering-wheel left thumb-pad to cycle layouts (Classic, Sport, Navigation, Minimal). When in Sport / Track mode the cluster automatically swaps to a wide tach with gear indicator and tire-temperature readout. The head-up display brightness, height, and content are configured from Settings → Displays → HUD.
Infotainment runs on Minimalist console (intentionally analog-feel). Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard; pair from Settings → Connections the first time, then it auto-connects whenever your phone is in range. Steering-wheel push-to-talk wakes the in-car assistant for nav, climate, calls, and messaging without touching the screen. The main display also hosts vehicle-specific apps: tire pressures, performance data recorder (where fitted), drive-mode customizer, and the camera views.
Standard driver aids include adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert. Toggle each system individually from the driver-assist menu (steering-wheel left-pad → Assistance). Highway-driving assist (hands-off in marked lanes on supported roads), automatic lane-change on indicator tap, traffic-jam assist for stop-and-go, and a 360° surround camera with transparent-hood mode are all available and worth enabling for the first time before driving in heavy traffic.
DC fast-charging happens through the CCS1 (or NACS, for newer 2025+ US-market models) port. Plug in, the car negotiates power automatically — typical 10–80% takes 18–28 minutes on a 350 kW charger. Level-2 home charging via J1772 covers a full charge overnight (8–11 hours). The car app schedules charging during cheap off-peak hours and pre-conditions the cabin while still plugged in so you don't drain range warming up.
Beyond the physical key, this car supports Two-key system (driving key + Top Speed key). Set up phone-as-key from the Bugatti Concierge app: it provisions a secure credential to your phone's wallet so a tap on the door handle unlocks the car and placing the phone on the wireless charging pad authorizes ignition. You can also share temporary keys to family members (with optional speed and area limits on performance trims) directly from the app.
