Bugatti’s Tourbillon hypercar, with its carbon-fiber chassis and V-16 plug-in hybrid powertrain generating 1,775 hp, seems nearly perfect—but Bugatti has found a way to elevate it even further: adding eight exhaust tips.
That’s more than the famous six exhaust tips of the iconic Type 57SC Atlantic and serves as a nod to the two banks of eight cylinders forming the V-16 engine. Also included in the package—whose name is French for “Thoroughbred Team”—are unique designs for the front splitter, rear diffuser, and rear wing, the latter featuring small endplates.
The wheels, measuring 20 inches at the front and 21 at the rear, are also new and shaped to direct more air to the rear radiators. Additional carbon-fiber accents enhance the vehicle’s exterior, while inside, the package includes unique trim options plus a performance seat for the driver with improved bolstering to handle high g-forces.
Production of the Tourbillon doesn’t begin until 2026, but future owners are already being invited to customize their cars. In addition to the Équipe Pur Sang package, buyers have a myriad of options to choose from, including 23 exterior colors, 20 leather options, 10 Alcantara options, and seven carpet colors.
Bugatti Tourbillon with Équipe Pur Sang package
Powering the Tourbillon is a naturally aspirated 8.3-liter V-16 engine paired with three electric motors—two at the front and one at the rear. The V-16 alone produces approximately 986 hp, while the electric motors contribute an additional 790 hp, bringing the total system output to 1,775 hp.
Working in tandem with the electric motors, Bugatti estimates the Tourbillon will accelerate from 0-62 mph in 2.0 seconds, 0-124 mph in under 5.0 seconds, 0-186 mph in under 10.0 seconds, and 0-248 mph in under 25.0 seconds. Top speed is electronically limited to 276 mph, but Bugatti has hinted that at least one version of the Tourbillon might surpass 500 kph (310.7 mph).
Just 250 examples will be built, each priced from around $4 million. Pricing for the Équipe Pur Sang package hasn’t been announced but will almost certainly run into the six figures.
