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.

2026 Bugatti Tourbillon Sounds Menacing in New Audio Clip
The 2026 sounds like one mean machine in a new audio clip shared by the head of the company. The successor to the is the first car from to use a V-16 engine, now that the brand retired its famous W-16 format. Bugatti plans to build just 250 Tourbillons, with production scheduled to start next year. Pricing for the new model starts at $4.6 million. New audio of the 2026 Bugatti Tourbillon makes us think the 1775-horsepower hypercar starts each day with a healthy bowl of nuts and bolts. A brief Instagram video shared by Bugatti CEO Mate Rimac announces the Tourbillon with an aggressive bark while revving followed by a series of acceleration videos on track that sound simply phenomenal. For anyone worried about Bugatti's adoption of hybridization, you can put those fears to rest. According to Rimac, the audio is representative of what the production car's exhaust will sound like. "Hopefully we can keep it soft-limiter free!" the CEO wrote in his post. We couldn't agree more, as the 8.3-liter V-16 Cosworth-developed engine is rated up to 9000 rpm. With the trio of electric motors added in, the Tourbillon's powerplant produces a combined 1775 horsepower. Take the electrons away, and the combustion mill still puts out an incredible 986 horsepower and 664 pound-feet of torque. "What a car," Rimac said on the post. "I don't think we understand yet what we have built. This will be one for the history books." He added "Here's to the team! Keep pushing - the world is waiting!" We sure are, Mate. We sure are. Bugatti will only build 250 Tourbillons, with production slated to begin next year. The price befits the promised performance, with window stickers expected to start around $4,600,000.
