Bugatti unveiled a video of the Tourbillon's engine sound, showcasing the powerful 8.3-liter V-16 engine and three electric motors. The car is expected to have a top speed of 276 mph and achieve 0-60 mph in less than 2 seconds. Bugatti plans to produce only 250 Tourbillons, each priced at over $4 million.

In debuting the engine note on Instagram, Rimac said simply, “This is what the production car will sound like.”While the Chiron was powered by a 8.0-liter W-16 engine, the Tourbillon’s is an 8.3-liter V-16. That engine makes the bulk of the Tourbillon’s power, with an additional 800 horsepower provided by three electric motors, two in the front and one in the rear.
The Tourbillon’s body is made from carbon fiber to maximize lightness, and the profile of the car is said to be a bit more aerodynamic than the outgoing Chiron. Bugatti said in the summer that it expects the car to top out at 276 mph, at least officially, with a speedometer that can actually go to 341 mph. Zero to 60 mph times should be 2.0 seconds or less, with a zero to 186 mph time of 10.0 seconds.
Bugatti is planning to make just 250 Tourbillons, each with a price tag of just over $4 million, with production to start next year.“Yes, it is crazy to build a new V16 engine, to integrate it with a new battery pack and electric motors, and to have 3-D-printed suspension parts and a real Swiss watchmaker instrument cluster,” Rimac said in June after the car’s unveiling. “But it is what Ettore Bugatti would have done.
For the video published Monday, Rimac was in Italy at the Nardò Ring with a camouflaged version of the Tourbillon. The car’s naturally aspirated V-16 itself is a statement beyond the noise, considering how rare 16-cylinder engines have become and even 12-cylinder engines in the realm of new supercars and. The V-16 is probably among the last of its kind, enough of an excuse for a little sentiment, or at least a little more noise.Erik Shilling is digital auto editor at Robb Report.
