Bugatti unveils new sports car with 1,800 horsepower and a $4M price tag
NY Post
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.
