The Bugatti Tourbillon may closely resemble the Veyron and Chiron at first glance, but it\u2019s an all-new hypercar that manages to outclass its predecessors by shattering conventions while still harking back to the brand\u2019s illustrious history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Starting with its name, the Tourbillon marks the end of an era where Bugatti production cars got their names from the company\u2019s racing drivers. Instead, the next-gen Bugatti supercar drew its moniker from an 1801 watchmaking invention (the tourbillon) that helped increase the accuracy of timepieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The horology inspiration didn\u2019t stop at the name. The Bugatti Tourbillon features a timeless cabin hallmarked by an analog instrument cluster \u201cdesigned and built with the expertise of Swiss watchmakers,\u201d Bugatti said in its press release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whereas other sports car and hypercar builders are introducing interactive digital instrument displays, the Tourbillon\u2019s skeletonized cluster has more than 600 intricate mechanical parts made of exotic materials and gemstones like titanium, sapphires, and rubies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“The development of the Bugatti Tourbillon was guided at every step by the 115 years of Bugatti history and the words of Ettore Bugatti himself,” said Mate Rimac, Bugatti CEO. “His mantras ‘If comparable, it is no longer Bugatti’ and ‘Nothing is too beautiful’ were a guiding path for me personally, as well as the design and engineering teams looking to create the next exciting era in the Bugatti hyper sports car story.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s not hard to get distracted by the new Bugatti Tourbillon\u2019s vintage-inspired detailing, but the most luscious components are beneath the hypercar\u2019s evolved body shell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/a>
