At its heart sits a new naturally aspirated 8.3-liter V16 engine codeveloped with Cosworth that revs to 9,000 rpm. It's paired with three electric motors and a 24.8-kWh battery to produce a combined 1,775 horsepower. Bugatti claims a 0-62 mph time of two seconds, so the 0-60 time will dip under that. Top speed is 276 mph.AdvertisementAdvertisementOnly 250 examples will be built, and deliveries will start in late 2026. At a price of about four and a half million dollars, the Tourbillon is the preserve of discerning collectors looking for a piece of bespoke automotive engineering.What's New for 2026?Everything is new. The 2026 Tourbillon is the first all-new Bugatti in two decades, with a ground-up redesign revolving around a hybridized naturally aspirated V16 engine that displaces 8.3 liters and weighs 555 pounds. It develops 986 hp by itself, with the remaining 789 hp contributed by the three electric motors, with 37 miles of all-electric range possible. T800 carbon fiber is used for the monocoque body with its integrated battery casing, and the 3D-printed suspension components were developed with Divergent Technologies - Czinger's parent company - to cut suspension weight by 45%.ExteriorBugatti's four signature design elements (the Bugatti line, the horseshoe grille, the dual-color paintwork, and the central ridge) were brought together masterfully by designer Frank Heyl, and the nose features reimagined slim "eight-eye" LED headlights that emphasize the car's width. There are self-opening dihedral doors and a single-piece LED taillight that doubles as a heat-extracting vent. It's lower and lighter than the Chiron, despite being larger, a feat made possible by the T800 composite carbon chassis and 3D-printed structural components.BugattiView the 3 images of this gallery on the original articleInteriorThe Swiss-made gauge cluster is the centerpiece of the "skeletonized luxury" cabin; it houses a fully analog instrument cluster with 600 titanium components and remains visible at all times through the fixed-hub steering wheel. There's an infotainment screen that emerges from the dashboard when needed, preserving the cabin's timelessness. The pedals and wheels are adjustable, since the seats are fixed to the floor for a low seating position. Materials used include wood, cashmere, crystal glass, aluminum, titanium, and sapphire.BugattiView the 3 images of this gallery on the original articlePrice Range and Best Value TrimThe 2026 Bugatti Tourbillon's price starts at €3.8 million, which was about $4.45 million before options at the time of writing.

The resultant hybrid powertrain belts out 1,775 hp with a visceral, intoxicating soundtrack that introduces a new character to the Bugatti tour de force.AdvertisementAdvertisementThe mesmerizing display of the 600-piece Swiss-made instrument chronograph assembly alone justifies the outrageous price tag. The Tourbillon sits in an upper-crust stratosphere of automotive excellence where it has no real rivals; an Aston Martin Valkyrie embodies a high-revving V12 hybrid philosophy for close to the same money, but can't hope to match the Tourbillon's combination of luxury detailing and mechanical theater. A Rimac Nevera may be comparable on outright speed, but it's an EV.
