Inside the engineering of Bugatti's 1,800 horsepower Tourbillon
Discover the complex mechanics behind the new Bugatti Tourbillon. This video explores the transition from W16 to V16 architecture, the choice of a naturally aspirated engine, and the hybrid system powering this hypercar.
The Tourbillon utilizes a hybrid powertrain to achieve a total of 1,800 horsepower. This output is generated by combining an 8.3L naturally aspirated V16 engine with three electric motors: two positioned at the front and one at the rear. The vehicle also features the capability to operate using only the internal combustion engine, providing a 1,000 HP rear-wheel drive experience.
Beyond the technical specifications, the video examines the engineering decisions behind Bugatti's move to a V16 configuration over the previous W16. It also investigates the car's performance limits, noting that while the top speed is currently limited to 445 km/h, the vehicle is capable of exceeding that figure.
