Otodiva – Bugatti Chiron has handed over the baton to its successor in the world of hypercars. Bugatti has now launched their newest model, Bugatti Tourbillon, which combines fierceness and technological innovation in one tempting package.
Equipped with the first plug-in hybrid engine from Bugatti, The tourbillon features a NA V16 engine 8,3 a surprising liter. This engine not only produces power 1.000 PS with torque 900 Nm, but it is also powered by three electric motors. Electric motor between the engine and transmission provides additional 340 PS/240 Nm, while the other motor drives the front wheels with similar power. The total combination of engine and electric motor is capable of reaching extraordinary power peaks of 1.800 PS.
Speed is the main selling point. From 0-100 km/hour, The tourbillon devours the distance only in 2 second, with speed 200 km/h in less than five seconds. Although limited to 380 km/h in most conditions, with additional speed lock, The tourbillon is capable of reaching 445 km/hour, although slightly slower than his brother, Chiron.
This performance is supported by battery technology 25 kWh which allows the car to run up to 60 km only with electric motor power. Although powerful, Bugatti emphasizes that the Tourbillon is lighter in weight than the Chiron, thanks to the use of T800 carbon composite material for the body, as well as innovative 3D printed components.
The legs of the Tourbillon are no less impressive. Equipped with carbon-ceramic brakes, airbrake function on the rear wing, and a brake-by-wire system connected to the engine, This car secures large discs behind diameter rims 20 inches in front of and 21 inches behind, equipped with special Michelin Pilot Cup Sport tires 2.
Not only superior in performance, The Tourbillon design is also tempting to the eye. The wider horseshoe grille and enlarged intakes at the front do more than just direct air to the radiator, but also increases essential downforce. The rear with typical Bugatti lights and a large, prominent diffuser adds a futuristic impression that cannot be ignored.
In the cabin, The tourbillon maintains its Bugatti identity with a double cockpit separated by a center line, reinforced with modern touches such as a central wiper and dazzling rear lighting.
