How Many Tailpipes Is Too Many? Bugatti Option Pack Comes with 8

The Équipe Pur Sang is the first option package we've seen for the nearly $5 million Bugatti. Meant to pay homage to Bugatti's racing history, it comes with a new front splitter, new rear diffuser, and a new rear wing. If you thought the Tourbillon was over the top before, just wait until you see the Équipe Pur Sang. It's also got eight exhaust tips. Seriously. Feast your eyes on the Bugatti Tourbillon Équipe Pur Sang. Nope, you don't need to get your eyes checked—that's eight exhaust pipes stuck to the back of the new Bug. With all those exhaust pipes stuck to the back, you might look at the name "Équipe Pur Sang" and think Equipped for song? We applaud your problem-solving skills, but the French term actually translates to Thoroughbred Team in English. The 8.3-liter V-16 probably (definitely) still sings a glorious tune, though. So what's the deal with this thoroughbred team? Bugatti says the package "pays emphatic visual testament to the Tourbillon's incomparable performance and Bugatti's motorsport history." What that really means is that it gets a new front splitter, a new rear diffuser, and a new rear wing that improves downforce and uses small endplates for more aero efficiency and improved stability in high-speed corners. Closer to the pavement, the Équipe Pur Sang package gets a special set of directional wheels that measure 20 inches at the front and 21 inches at the rear. In addition to simply looking rad, Bugatti says the thin spokes reduce turbulence and improve airflow to the rear radiator. Inside the cabin, the Équipe Pur Sang package adds special embroidery to the dashboard and on the headrests of the performance seats. The special buckets are designed to improve lateral support in high-g corners compared with the standard seats. With a combined 1775 ponies on offer, they'll surely get their use.
