Bugatti unveils new sports car with 1,800 horsepower and a $4M price tag
What inspired the name of Bugatti's new model, the Tourbillon?
The name of Bugatti's new model, the Tourbillon, was inspired by a watchmaking invention made by a Swiss-born genius living in France in 1801. The Tourbillon is described 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."
How much horsepower does the 2027 Tourbillon have?
The 2027 Bugatti Tourbillon has a total of 1,800 horsepower. It draws 1,000 hp from its 8.3-liter V16 combustion engine and an additional 800 hp from its two electric motors. This hybrid powertrain allows the high-performance sports car to reach impressive speeds and performance levels.
What are the sources of the Tourbillon's 1,800 horsepower?
The Bugatti Tourbillon's 1,800 horsepower comes from two sources: a new 8.3-liter, naturally aspirated V-16 engine developed with British engineering firm Cosworth, contributing 1,000 hp, and three electric motors (two at the front and one at the rear), adding another 800 hp.
