The 2026 Bugatti Tourbillon has been showcased by the brand as one of its most impressive models to date that prioritizes power with a hybrid powertrain to boot. The vehicle is equipped with a naturally aspirated 8.3-liter V16 engine with three electric motors and is thus capable of producing 1,775-horsepower. Drivers can thus enjoy 30-miles of all-electric range with a top speed of 277mph and the ability to go from zero to 60mph in just two-seconds or 250mph in 25-seconds.
The 2026 Bugatti Tourbillon is inspired by Swiss watchmaking on the interior -- hence the name -- which includes complex components throughout the middle console and instrument array. The vehicle won't go into production until 2026 with a price point of $4.6-million with just 250 examples set to be available.
