Mate Rimac, CEO of Bugatti, has shared a video of the Tourbillon on his social media. The short clip shows a prototype of the new hypercar at a test track. The main highlight of the video, though, is the sound of the V16 engine.
According to Rimac, this is how the production version of the Bugatti Tourbillon will sound like. It’s unlike the old W16 with its deep, burbling sound. It should give the car a different character altogether.
In fact, the new naturally aspirated 8.3-liter V16 engine itself is enough to completely transform the driving experience. It produces 1000 hp @ 9000 rpm and 664 lb-ft of torque and is paired with three electric motors for a combined output of 1800 hp.
The transmission is an 8-speed dual-clutch unit. Bugatti claims a 0-62 mph time of 2.0 seconds, while 0-186 mph comes up in less than 10 seconds. The Tourbillon can reach 248 mph from a standstill in under 25 seconds!
