Bugatti has revealed details about the engineering of its Tourbillon hybrid hypercar in Episode 08 of the 'A New Era' documentary series on their YouTube channel.
The Tourbillon combines a V16 engine with electric drive technology, enhancing performance rather than replacing it.
Mate Rimac, CEO of Bugatti Rimac, highlights the exceptional integration of the hybrid powertrain in the Tourbillon.
The hybrid system includes an 8.3-liter V16, dual-clutch transmission, and a 250-kilowatt rear electric motor.
The setup weighs only 430 kilograms, matching the weight of the Chiron's engine alone.
The Tourbillon features two front electric motors, inverters, and a T-shaped battery pack for over 60 kilometers of electric range.
Innovative materials and manufacturing methods, like 3D-printed suspension components, contribute to the Tourbillon's reduced weight.
Each electric motor in the Tourbillon serves multiple functions, enhancing power delivery and eliminating the need for a 12-volt system.
Bugatti's Tourbillon is lighter than its predecessor, offering improved handling, increased luggage space, and enhanced top speed.
The Tourbillon sets a new standard for performance vehicles by amplifying the drama of internal combustion without compromise.
Bugatti's engineering philosophy for the Tourbillon emphasizes multifunctional efficiency.
The Tourbillon represents Bugatti's reinvention of performance vehicles and its commitment to reshaping automotive excellence.
