Buying a Bugatti Tourbillon? Be Sure You Check the Box for 8 Tailpipes
You have already reserved your Bugatti Tourbillon, right? The 16-cylinder masterpiece was revealed nine months ago, so you've had plenty of time to get your $4.6 million together and put your order in. If so, congratulations! It's time to option your Bugatti, and one of those options is a package that includes a ridiculous eight tailpipes.
That pipe-heavy option is called Équipe Pur Sang, a package meant to pay tribute to the brand's extensive pre-war racing history. The option, which Bugatti says translates roughly to "thoroughbred team," also includes a special front splitter, rear wing, and rear diffuser. Carbon fiber engine cover inlays complete the bodywork changes.
Inside, Équipe Pur Sang cars will come with unique embroidery and what Bugatti calls a "medium carbon fiber" interior package. Alcantara-finished performance seats are standard with the package, as are wheels unique to the option set. (No word on whether you can also custom-order a cup holder.)
Bugatti says that all Tourbillon customers will work directly with brand representatives at either the brand's Molsheim factory or at a retail location to spec their cars. 23 new exterior paint colors, 20 new leather variations, 10 new Alcantara options, and seven new carpet colors headline the selections Bugatti owners can pick from when speccing their unique car. Most Bugattis will be built using that tool set, but some Tourbillons will likely hit the road with even more unique choices, as with the the "Golden Era" Chiron Super Sport revealed in 2023.
Bugatti only plans to make 250 Tourbillons, so each of the V-16 hybrids should be fairly unique. Production is set to start next year.

Bugatti Boss on Turbocharged Hybrid Supercars: 'I Don't Get It'
While the Chiron was essentially an evolution of the Veyron before it, the Tourbillon represents a radical departure. Molsheim's all-new performance flagship ditches the quad-turbo W-16 engine in favor of a V-16 without forced induction. Cosworth helped develop the naturally aspirated powerhouse, which features an 8.3-liter displacement and an impressively low curb weight. It tips the scales at just 556 pounds, or about 42 percent less than the Chiron's heart. Bugatti and Cosworth engineers achieved the significant weight reduction partly by eliminating the four turbochargers. Mate Rimac told Top Gear magazine he doesn't see the point of using turbos in a hybrid supercar, arguing that the hybrid component compensates for the loss in power while providing the benefits of electrification. In the Tourbillon, there's a large battery with a gross capacity of 24.8 kilowatt-hours, good for 43 miles (70 kilometers) of range without firing up the V-16. Photo by: Bugatti 'I have driven them all and I don't get it, really. Why would you have a hybrid powertrain with a turbo engine? Like, a turbo engine is a compromise on its own, right?' Bugatti Rimac's head honcho revealed that deleting the quad-turbo setup resulted in a 600-horsepower loss. However, the three electric motors compensate, and then some, delivering a combined 800 hp. Factoring in the combustion engine, which produces 1,000 hp on its own, the Tourbillon is more potent than its predecessors and ends up lighter. Aside from dropping the turbos, the weight savings also come from a new suspension that's 45% lighter, thanks to 3D printing. The whole car weighs less than 4,398 pounds (1,995 kilograms) with all fluids and a nearly full tank of gas. While most hybrid supercars are turbocharged, the Lamborghini Revuelto sticks to a naturally aspirated V-12. The LaFerrari also featured a naturally aspirated, electrified twelve-cylinder engine, but the new F80 uses a twin-turbo 3.0-liter V-6. While Porsche hasn't released a follow-up to the 918 Spyder and its naturally aspirated 4.6-liter V-8, the Mission X concept strongly hinted at a purely electric setup. Mate Rimac isn't closing the door on a pure ICE version of the V-16. He's also open to the idea of a downsized hybrid configuration, even a single-motor Tourbillon that skips the pair of front motors to reduce fat further. A roadster is all but confirmed, so there are big plans beyond the 250 coupes planned for production. Meanwhile, deliveries of the 'normal' car will begin next year but not before producing 35 prototypes for testing purposes. Currently, Bugatti is hard at work delivering the remaining Bolide and Mistral units as the last examples of the W-16 breed .
