1,800 horsepower and a full sellout: Bugatti’s newest hypercar found every buyer before production even started, with assembly stretching into 2029.
Bugatti has sold out the entire Tourbillon run well before the first deliveries. All 250 cars — each priced at €3.8 million, or roughly $4.37 million before taxes — are already spoken for. CEO Mate Rimac confirmed that the series won’t be expanded, and production is set to continue through 2029.
The Tourbillon, first revealed in June 2024, shows just how different the ultra-luxury market operates: the entire allocation vanished instantly, despite the fact that not a single customer car has been delivered yet. Bugatti plans to build around 80 units per year, and it’s a safe bet that most buyers will spec theirs with a long list of bespoke options.
Under the skin, the Tourbillon leans into what Bugatti loyalists expect: a massive internal-combustion engine backed by cutting-edge hybrid tech. The centerpiece is a naturally aspirated 8.3-liter V16 developed with Cosworth, producing 1,000 hp and driving the rear wheels. It’s paired with three electric motors, each rated at 340 hp (two up front, one at the rear), forming an all-wheel-drive plug-in hybrid system with a combined output of about 1,800 hp.
A 25-kWh battery delivers an estimated 37 miles of electric-only driving, and curb weight comes in just under two tons.
Performance numbers are as extreme as expected:
- 0–62 mph in about 2.0 seconds
- 0–124 mph in under 5 seconds
- 0–249 mph in under 25 seconds
- Top speed electronically capped at 276 mph
The design pays homage to the Type 57 SC Atlantic, and the cabin features a “mechanical” layout with no digital screens. There’s also the Équipe Pur Sang variant, distinguished by eight exhaust outlets.
All in all, the Tourbillon marks another chapter in Bugatti’s tradition of extreme engineering — and once again, demand has far outpaced supply.
