Bugatti, the undisputed leader in hypercars, has once again raised the bar with unveiling the Tourbillon, its V16 hybrid hypercar. Aimed at the elite, this vehicle has garnered attention for its cutting-edge technology and jaw-dropping price tag. The base price of the Tourbillon is already set at $4.1 million, but one fortunate buyer has taken the concept of luxury to new extremes by adding nearly $1 million in options, bringing the total cost to an eye-watering $5.56 million.
The car’s customizations are exceptional, with the most notable being the Matt Vermillion Carbon and Matt Red paint finish, priced at a staggering $360,000—more than many luxury cars on the market. This level of extravagance shows that for some buyers, the price of the vehicle is no longer just a number but a statement of personal wealth and style.
Extraordinary Customization: Options that Go Beyond Imagination
The Bugatti Tourbillon’s options list is as extravagant as the car itself. For example, the Equipe Pur Sang Package, priced at $240,000, includes a unique body kit and eight exhaust pipes, making an immediate visual impact. But that’s just the beginning of the customization journey.
Other options include the Sky View glass roof, a performance black mesh grille, and black exhaust tips, each costing over $10,000. The rear wing logo, duo-tone wheels, and elephant embroidery on the headrests, which cost $10,000, further elevate the car’s exclusive appeal. A custom interior carbon package and luggage set add yet another layer of refinement.
The instrument panel is also a work of art, with a high-end mechanical design featuring rose gold accents that add $65,000 to the price—equivalent to the cost of a luxury vehicle. These options are more than just upgrades; they serve as a clear demonstration of wealth and a reflection of the buyer’s taste and status.
1,800-Horsepower V16 PHEV: Performance Without Compromise
The Bugatti Tourbillon is not just a marvel of luxury; it’s a performance powerhouse. Developed as the successor to the Chiron, the Tourbillon features a next-generation plug-in hybrid powertrain that combines an 8.3-liter V16 naturally aspirated engine with three electric motors mounted at both the front and rear. This setup delivers a jaw-dropping 1,800 horsepower, allowing the Tourbillon to achieve 0-100 km/h (62 mph) in just 2 seconds and reach a top speed of 445 km/h (277 mph).
Equipped with a 25 kWh battery, the Tourbillon can travel up to 59 km (37 miles) on electricity alone, offering a perfect blend of performance and efficiency. The powertrain is designed to push the boundaries of what’s possible, offering an unrivaled driving experience.
A Mechanical Masterpiece Inside and Out
Inside, the Tourbillon is equally luxurious. The cabin features three precision mechanical instrument panels, created in collaboration with a Swiss watch brand and positioned to provide the driver with the ultimate level of control. The floating design steering wheel ensures that both the Bugatti logo and the instrument panels are always visible while driving, elevating the experience into something akin to a mechanical work of art.
The Tourbillon embodies the essence of a hypercar, blending unparalleled performance with exquisite craftsmanship. Each detail reflects Bugatti’s commitment to excellence, making the Tourbillon not just a car but a statement of engineering prowess and sophisticated luxury.
