McLaren W1 First Drive: Ferocious Hypercar Transcends the Track

You know things are getting serious when McLaren rolls-out the ‘1’ suffix. The origin story is, of course, the very first road car McLaren ever built, the F1. Designed by visionary Formula 1 aerodynamicist and engineer Gordon Murray, it arrived in 1992 and rendered all other supercars obsolete. The tiny, lightweight F1 embraced carbon-fibre material technology, adopted a radical centre seat driving position with two passengers set back and either side and was powered by a 6.1-litre V12 engine from BMW that might as well have been passed down directly from the Gods. Game-changer? That doesn’t even come close to describing its impact, even if at the time sales didn’t come easy… The P1 was very different. Rather than a unique side project from the Formula 1 team, it was instead a statement piece for McLaren Automotive, a new road car division still in its infancy. It arrived in 2013 and was a wild-eyed showstopper. It traded the long-legged gait and supple suspension of the F1 for a weaponized hybrid system capable of delivering 903bhp and huge blue flames from its drainpipe exhaust. In Race mode, it lowered by 2-inches and its massive concave rear wing extended into the sky. The P1 was all about aerodynamic downforce, crazed acceleration and a snorting, angry soundtrack that mixed venomous twin-turbocharged V8 with the manic whirr of electric motors. Not so much a car as a force of nature. And now there’s this: The W1. It’s a true successor to the P1 with a similar brief and, on the face of it, it evolves rather than radically reinvents McLaren’s vision for the ultimate hypercar. This is not a criticism. How could it be when the result is this dramatic and has such staggering, other-worldly potential? The W1 has 1258bhp delivered to the rear wheels. It’s capable of 0-124 mph in 5.8-seconds, the quarter mile in 9.6-seconds at 167 mph and produces 2205lbs of downforce at 174 mph. The active aerodynamics – particularly a rear wing that extends way out beyond the rear of the car – are pure performance art and deliver massive aerodynamic efficiency. The result, aside from looking extremely cool, is that the W1 is McLaren’s fastest road car around a racetrack. Ever. Their benchmark circuit is the breath-taking Handling Track at the Nardo proving ground in southern Italy, where the W1 beats their previous benchmark, the flyweight McLaren Senna, by three seconds per lap. Or “a lifetime” as they call it in racing. Maybe two lifetimes! Core to the W1’s performance is the new ‘Aerocell’ carbon fibre tub. With integrated seats and a raised footwell to allow for inboard pushrod-operated front suspension – which in turn gives air a clean path to the huge underbody diffuser – it’s light, stiff, space efficient and has been instrumental in McLaren realising a full ground-effect concept. Just like last year’s F1 cars, which were the fastest ever made. There is also an active front wing and the aforementioned complex rear wing dubbed ‘Active Long Tail’. All of which is very admirable. But the ‘anhedral’ or gullwing doors and the fantastically shirnked-wrapped feel to the minimalist, highly-focussed interior are a pretty good side effect. The W1 feels special. Those fixed seats are perhaps a shade more upright than expected, and the driving position is less obviously racecar than, for example, the Aston Martin Valhalla or Ferrari F80. However, once you’ve adjusted the pedals (they move on a slider) and the delicate, slim-rimmed and alcantara-trimmed steering wheel, there’s an overwhelming sense of purpose. The cabin is so tightly tailored and imparts a sense of lightness and agility before you so much as start the all-new 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine, which makes 916bhp all on its own and revs to 9200rpm. Reach up to a roof-mounted control panel to find the starter button. Maybe this fighter plane trope is a little corny, but somehow you feel thrilled rather than manipulated. The W1 has a sense of humour as well as all that motorsport-derived sophistication. There’s a short delay, but when the engine does fire it’s instant – as the high-powered hybrid system negates the need for an old-school starter motor. A sharp flare of revs tells you that this engine is hyper-responsive and angry. On some deep level your brain and body have been sent all the signals required to prepare for something new and intense. Ahead of us, an empty Mugello racetrack, so press and hold the blue button next to the red starter to select Race mode. The centre display graphic shows the W1’s transformation in real time as it lowers by 37mm at the front and 17mm at the rear whilst simultaneously undocking all that active aero goodness. Race mode is not road legal and is geo-locked. You can show your friends and neighbours the aero dance, but it won’t allow you to select a gear to actually drive unless you’re at a circuit. Incidentally, the rocker switches either side of the display binnacle allow further options now: Toggle up the Handling control on the left for Race+ (for F1-spec super smooth tracks) or stick to Race for gnarlier ones. On the right toggle select ‘GP’ for sustained performance over a stint or ‘Sprint’ to unleash all 1258bhp for a time attack. There’s also a DRS and Boost function on the steering wheel. But I guarantee you won’t have the mental capacity to use them… Exit the pitlane, pin the throttle and W1 takes maybe a millisecond or two to gather its might (the gearing stretches to around 60mph in first, nearly 100mph in second, primarily to aid traction), but then lunges at the first turn with incredible ferocity. It instantly feels light, almost like inertia is no longer a thing. McLaren really does prize lightweight engineering, and at 3084lbs (dry) the W1 has a 278lbs advantage over the Ferrari F80. Plus, Ferrari uses figures for cars fitted with every single carbon fibre option. In reality, the gap is probably wider still. The impression of agility and stunning control continues as the track is unravelled at startling pace. The electric motor mounted to the side of the new 8-speed dual-clutch transmission is good for 342bhp and 324lb ft and it boosts any low rev lethargy the new flat-plane crank V8 might have (spoiler alert: It doesn’t appear to have any), so the W1 just feels massively, almost impossibly powerful at any revs. Even so, there’s real reward for wringing it out to 9200rpm and the power curve feels superheated but organic, too. In Race mode the steering – still hydraulically powered – has less assistance and it is noticeably heavier than other McLarens. However, that resistance is welcome as it gives you something to push against and imparts so much information about the front grip level. New Pirelli Trofeo RS tyres with a bigger front footprint than P1 or Senna really help. The front-end feels incredibly secure and the rear-axle follows with perfectly-aligned precision. The whole car feels super-stiff, completely locked into the surface and inspires confidence, but there’s an inherent agility and adjustability that means you’re quickly confident to push at its limits and really impose yourself on the chassis. It’s such a complex car but the driving experience is intuitive, and the driver feels a key contributor rather than just amazed (or terrified) observer, holding on for dear life. Every dynamic ingredient really is shockingly effective and yet has a subtlety and lightness of touch. From that delicious steering to the incredible brakes, the W1 just feels so mission-focussed, so hooked-up. Only the new 8-speed gearbox is a slightly disappointment. It’s fast and punchy, but after the scintillating energy of the Ferrari F80 ’box it feels competent rather than inspired. Other quibbles – it’s okay to quibble when the starting price is $2.1-million before tax and destination charge. Well, that new twin-turbocharged V8 sounds tightly wound and aggressive but if you have a P1 tucked in the garage you’ll miss the snorting, Darth Vader-style soundscape and all the drama that goes with it. Ferrari does this better, too. The F80 sounds deathly dull from the outside but is a riot of turbochargers, electric motors and all sorts of mechanical fury within the cockpit. Even so, the W1 is wildly entertaining on track, and the rear-drive configuration makes it more of a challenge and more satisfying than the F80 when chasing lap times or just sliding around for fun. In the Ferrari, you must second-guess what the front e-axle might do, whereas in the W1 it’s all on you. There are plenty of tools to help, including the ingenious Variable Drift Control, but somehow the W1 is more heroic. Or at least fools you into feeling more heroic – which is surely the point! On the road? Nimble, loaded with feel and sublime response. The ride is noticeably tougher than, say, a 750S but the control is ramped-up too, and with a bit more speed the whole car finds a delicious rhythm. Sport mode for the drivetrain brings some nice turbo whooshes and chirps, but the noise remains high-quality rather than extreme excitement. It is perhaps the one area the W1 feels just a little too tame. Of course, there’s nothing tame about the raw performance… which is genuinely shocking and literally hurts your neck muscles after a few hours. How McLaren has given the W1 such immense traction through just two driven wheels is beyond me. So, is it worthy of that ‘1’? I think so. Perhaps we won’t be talking about $25-million auction results for the W1 in 30 years from now, as we are for the F1. Perhaps it doesn’t quite have the amazing presence and jaw-dropping star quality of the simply gorgeous P1. But it is such an intense experience and the way it marries stunning track performance with delicate poise and entertainment on normal roads is something akin to magic. Maybe not ‘the one’ but definitely a searing, outrageous addition to McLaren’s fiercest family line. Just 399 W1’s will be built and they’re all sold. I’m not surprised at all.

First Street-Legal Bugatti Bolide Breaks Cover At 2026 Goodwood Festival of Speed

The first street-legal Bugatti Bolide broke cover at the 2026 Goodwood Festival of Speed, the result of a private commission by Lanzante Limited, the British engineering specialist based in Petersfield, England. As duPont REGISTRY reported in March, Lanzante was already working on two Bolides for conversion, and this example is the first to be publicly revealed in its street-legal form. The track-only Bolide represents the ultimate expression of Bugatti's W16 era under the Volkswagen Group. Production was capped at just 40 units worldwide, each priced at approximately €4 million before taxes ( roughly $4.4 millio) and built exclusively for the track. Its 8.0-liter quad-turbocharged W16 engine produces 1,578 horsepower and 1,180 pound-feet of torque, packaged in a carbon-fiber monocoque that weighs just 3,197 pounds and generates nearly three tons of downforce at speed. All 40 have now been delivered, with the final example leaving the Molsheim atelier in late 2025. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Lewis Stockwell (@supercars_of_bedfordshire) Making a track-only hypercar like the Bolide street legal requires Lanzante to address several fundamental incompatibilities with road use. The work ranges from the W16's emissions compliance, replacement of the track-specific exhaust system, transmission modifications, comprehensive drivetrain changes, street-legal lighting, and pedestrian protection requirements. The Bolide's original Michelin racing tires, rated for just 37 miles of use and costing $8,000 each, would have been the first items to be replaced.The seven-speed dual-clutch transmission's user-friendly architecture makes it a viable candidate for the conversion. Full details on this specific chassis remain limited at the time of writing, though a more robust cooling system has been confirmed as one of the modifications carried out. View this post on Instagram A post shared by PWR Advanced Cooling Technology (@pwradvancedcoolingtechnology) Lanzante is not new to such conversions. The firm was a key part of McLaren's 1995 Le Mans victory with the F1 GTR and has since built its reputation around track-to-road conversions of machines, including the McLaren P1 GTR, Lamborghini Sesto Elemento, and Porsche 935. The Bolide, however, is the most extreme car Lanzante has yet converted, and almost certainly the most valuable. In terms of current market values, the Bolide commands a significant premium above its original price. Bugatti Bolide chassis 001 carried a $4.5 million to $6 million estimate at Gooding Christie's Pebble Beach in August last year, while a separate example carried an estimate of $4.7 million to $7 million at RM Sotheby's Paris in early 2026. The most recent confirmed public sale brought $5,083,290, reflecting growing collector demand for one of the rarest and most technically extreme hypercars of the W16 generation.

A New Era Begins in Molsheim as Bugatti Inaugurates La Manufacture for Tourbillon Production

Bugatti has inaugurated La Manufacture, a new production atelier on the grounds of the Château Saint Jean in Molsheim, France, officially opening the facility that will play a key role in Tourbillon production, Bugatti’s upcoming $4+ million, V16 hybrid hypercar limited to 250 units, all of which have already been spoken for. The ceremony brought together French state representatives, local institutions, and a filmed address from Sébastien Martin, France's Minister Delegate for Industry. Mate Rimac, CEO of Bugatti Rimac, and Christophe Piochon, President of Bugatti Automobiles, cut the ribbon before addressing guests on the significance of the investment for Alsace and for French industry more broadly. The building spans 34,930 square feet, is 443 feet long, and stands 29 feet high, and was completed in under a year. Its low profile and glass-and-dark-wall architectural language were designed to sit naturally within the Château grounds. Inside, teams will carry out exterior and interior pre-assembly, quality checks, vehicle inspections, and specialized rework processes, including polishing and painting. Final assembly and the customer experience will remain centered in the existing Atelier, shaped in the form of the Bugatti Macaron. <- Gallery -> "La Manufacture is a clear demonstration of that commitment. We wanted to empower the teams in Molsheim with a cutting-edge facility to shape the Tourbillon era, while ensuring that the soul of Bugatti remains in Alsace, at the historic home of the marque." - Mate Rimac, CEO, Bugatti Rimac Following the completion of a new administrative building in 2024, La Manufacture marks the next phase of Bugatti Rimac's expansion of its historic Molsheim campus, where the company has previously stated that it plans to grow its workforce by more than 50% by the end of 2027. This new facility raises Bugatti's production capacity to up to 200 vehicles per year, positioning the marque for future models beyond the Tourbillon. It is a significant step for a brand that has delivered just over 1,100 cars spanning both the Veyron and Chiron. That W16-powered era, which ran for more than two decades and closed with just 99 run Mistral roadster, defined Bugatti's modern identity under Volkswagen Group ownership. La Manufacture marks the first purpose-built production space of the Bugatti Rimac era, which has also established a Berlin design headquarters and a €200 million, approximately $227 million, campus in Zagreb, Croatia, alongside the historic Molsheim base. Molsheim has not always been Bugatti's only production address. Campogalliano, Italy, also features in Bugatti's assembly history as the site of the short-lived EB110 program between 1991 and 1995, and Levallois-Perret near Paris was a planned wartime facility that never reached full production. However, Molsheim has always been the spiritual home, and La Manufacture, the first major addition to the site since Porsche's exit from Bugatti Rimac, confirms that under Mate Rimac's leadership, it will become an integral part of Bugatti’s future models.

Bugatti and HONMA Bring Hypercar Engineering to the Golf Course

It seems that no matter the industry or niche, the automotive world finds a way to bridge the gap and uncover similarities between both ends of the spectrum, resulting in some of the most creative collaborations you’ve ever seen. Golf is evolving into one of the crossovers, with McLaren Golf already teeing off with a series of three iron styles that cater to every skill level, backed by pros on the tour today. Bugatti is bringing a hypercar element to the course through its new partnership with HONMA Golf, joining forces to unveil three co‑branded golf club collections.The BERES Super Premium Collection combines HONMA's craftsmanship with Bugatti's design DNA to create a set that belongs just as much at home in a collector's display as it does on the course. Available in 3 Star, 4 Star, and an ultra-exclusive 5 Star edition limited to only 20 sets worldwide, the clubs fetaure signature Bugatti styling like the iconic horseshoe grille, C-line, and Tourbillon-inspired instrument cluster. Each club comes finished in an ice-blue two-tone paint scheme.For golfers focused on outright performance, the Tour World Premium Collection takes a more driver-focused approach. Built on HONMA's TW777 platform, the lineup pairs lightweight titanium-carbon construction with precision-milled irons with Bugatti-inspired designs. The collection aims on maximizing speed, forgiveness, and control while carrying the same attention to detail as the multi-million-dollar hypercars rolling off the production line in Molsheim. Rounding out the collaboration is the Super Premium Bugatti Putter, offered in 4 Star and 5 Star configurations. Inspired by the rear end of the Bugatti Tourbillon as well as its horology-inspired instrument cluster, the putter’s sculptural design and precision CNC millwork offers better feel and consistency on the greens. Every curve, sightline, and detail has been carefully considered, delivering the same balance, precision, and confidence that Bugatti drivers feel behind the wheel. Source: Bugatti/HONMA Golf

Bugatti Reveals The One-Off W16 Mistral 'Blanc Éternel' Inspired by Royal Porcelain

Every Bugatti that leaves the factory tells a story, whether it's inspired by something deeply personal to its owner or born from a larger creative collaboration, like a brand partnership with a centuries-old porcelain factory. Bugatti’s latest creation falls firmly into that second category, recently revealing an incredible one-off W16 Mistral, named ‘Blanc Éternel’, inspired by Germany’s second-oldest porcelain manufacturer, Königliche Porzellan-Manufaktur. And while the commission features Bugatti’s newest flagship hypercar, its relationship with KPM began exactly 15 years ago, with the debut of the Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport ‘L'Or Blanc.’ “The W16 Mistral ‘Blanc Éternel’ is so extraordinarily beautiful because every line and every material serves a purpose. Our commitment to this unique commission led us to delve deeply into the essence of the Veyron Grand Sport ‘L’Or Blanc’ and to continue the next chapter of this partnership through the W16 Mistral’s entirely digital design language. Bringing this concept to life required close collaboration between our Bugatti design team in Berlin and the experts and management at KPM. “‘Blanc Éternel’ pays homage to Bugatti’s history without being constrained by it, and combines our heritage with individual taste in an entirely new way. That is the beauty of ‘Sur Mesure’: creating something authentic and timeless that could belong to no one else.” – Frank Heyl, Design Director at BugattiThe grand reveal comes as part of an exclusive “Blanc Éternel” Collection, showcasing a three-piece porcelain lineup that includes an Aviator Cafe Cup, Aviator Espresso Cup, and To-Drive Cup for the road, all limited to 1,000 handcrafted pieces. What makes the project even more special is that KPM worked directly with Bugatti Sur Mesure to configure the W16 Mistral on home soil, utilizing Bugatti Design’s new 12,000 square-foot headquarters in Berlin, Germany. Black lines trace the pure white exterior of the open-top hypercar, adding geometric depth and three-dimensional contrast to areas that may have gone overlooked with a monochrome finish. Complementing the complex paint composition are actual porcelain details, scattered throughout its design like hidden easter eggs, and found in places such as the EB emblem, the fuel and oil caps, as well as two integrated KPM Berlin logo inlays, the royal scepter, on the engine covers. That clean black-and-white styling finds its way inside the cabin, where the geometric logic behind its design reimagines the interior from a blank canvas into a work of art. The speaker grille, two inlays on the knee pads, the gearshift lever trim, an inlay in the center console, and the window control buttons are also crafted from porcelain. “I am proud and thrilled that, after 15 years, this collaboration has once again brought together two of my greatest passions: porcelain and automobiles. KPM and Bugatti represent the perfect fusion of masterful craftsmanship and technical excellence. Two extraordinary houses, united by a shared pursuit of perfection, which has been brought to life in an extraordinary automotive work of art.” – Jörg Woltmann, owner of KPMBeneath its active rear wing that reads “Blanc Éternel” in script is what inspired the partnership as a whole: Bugatti’s legendary W16. The Mistral is the final production car to house the iconic quad-turbocharged 8.0L W16 engine, generating an impressive 1,600 horsepower and 1,180 lb-ft of torque. With only 99 chassis slotted for production and allocated to Bugatti’s very best clients, the W16 Mistral is like a final love letter to the engine that helped define the term “hypercar.” Now with a Veyron Grand Sport and W16 Mistral in the books, the world can’t wait to see the reveal of Königliche Porzellan-Manufaktur’s next Bugatti hypercar.

Tier 1 Autohaus Protects The World's First Bugatti Tourbillon in XPEL PPF

Paint protection has come a long way over the years. Most of us still remember the days of bulky leather front-end covers and thick plastic "clear bras" that eventually turned yellow, cracked, and often did more to age a car than preserve it. Today's paint protection films are nearly invisible, self-healing, and designed to last, with industry experts like XPEL at the forefront of car care, whether it’s a BMW M3 for weekend track sessions or a $4+ million Bugatti hypercar hailing directly from Molsheim. With experience and expertise working with some of the most exclusive and expensive cars in the world, the team at Tier 1 Autohaus, a certified XPEL installer, was recently tasked with installing full PPF on the world’s first Bugatti Tourbillon. What makes the opportunity even more special is the fact that it was a direct ask from Bugatti itself, as this specific example stands out as the launch spec that continues to wow crowds on its tour around the globe. The Tourbillon feels right at home inside the Las Vegas, Nevada, showroom, alongside a French Racing Blue, track-only Bugatti Bolide, as well as countless other supercars and hypercars on-site to receive the full paint protection treatment. Before the team began applying paint protection film to nearly every square inch of Bugatti's latest hypercar, the Tourbillon underwent a thorough wash and decontamination process to ensure the paint is perfectly cleaned and properly prep the surface for the extensive install.With its low ride height, wide stance, and aggressive body shape, the Bugatti Tourbillon is vulnerable to the hazards of both road and track driving. Everything from loose gravel and tire debris to road imperfections and rubber buildup can quickly take a toll on its exposed front fascia, rocker panels, and rear haunches, making XPEL Ultimate Plus the perfect choice for maintaining its flawless finish. It features a hydrophobic topcoat and a 10-year manufacturer's warranty covering yellowing, peeling, and cracking.Once completed by the installers at Tier 1 Autohaus, the Bugatti Tourbillon returns to its factory showroom finish with an extra layer of virtually invisible paint protection film. It’s all about peace of mind, especially when it comes to a seven-figure hypercar whose primary mission is to travel around the world, giving collectors and enthusiasts the opportunity to witness Bugatti’s all-new 1,800-horsepower 8.3L naturally-aspirated V16 engine platform. With the Tourbillon now fully protected, you have to wonder which Bugatti will be next to arrive at Tier 1 Autohaus for the full XPEL treatment. Tier 1 Autohaus Source: Tier 1 Autohaus

Jacob & Co. x Bugatti Tourbillon: Where Hypercars Meet Haute Horology

When Bugatti unveiled the Tourbillon, it defined itself as the next chapter of performance, luxury, and innovation for the age-old brand. In celebrating the debut of Bugatti's Chiron replacement, Jacob & Co. crafted two timepieces that reflect its spirit, the Bugatti Tourbillon and the Bugatti Tourbillon Baguette. Both watches speak the same language of precision and artistry, finding similarities between watchmaking and hypercar design.Much like Tourbillon's new V16 engine serves as its beating heart, the Bugatti Tourbillon watch features a sapphire engine block movement, complete with 16 titanium pistons that fire into motion at the push of a button.Jacob & Co. incorporated the same meticulous detail into the watch as Bugatti did with its Tourbillon. The case shape mirrors the car's body, with sapphire side windows displaying the movement's inner workings, while the dial borrows its design cues from the car's gauge cluster. Even the placement of the flying Tourbillon at 9 o'clock resembles a tachometer, supporting the connection between road and wrist. It's not hard to see why this project was more of a collaboration than a simple partnership that both Bugatti and Jacob & Co. are equally obsessed with.Then there's the Bugatti Tourbillon Baguette, which takes the idea to another level of exclusivity. With a case crafted in 18K white gold, invisibly set with 17 carats of baguette-cut diamonds and accented with 18 rubies, it transforms the meaning of high-end horology. The rubies even pay homage to the Tourbillon's taillights. Limited to just 18 pieces, the Baguette will most likely remain a piece few will ever see in person, let alone own.

Carrio Motor Cars Shows Off FIVE Ultra-Rare Bugatti EB110 Supercars

Today's automotive world is packed with hypercars. Despite how common the term has become, hypercars are still a relatively modern idea. You can trace its origin back to one brand, Bugatti, and one car that changed the world’s definition, the Veyron. But before we praise the Veyron as the kickstart to four-figure horsepower and million-dollar-plus price tags, we have to pay homage to the Bugatti EB110 for paving the way. In light of Bugatti’s predecessors sparking a surge in the collector car market, solidifying an unmatched era of motoring, the team at Carrio Motor Cars already has a head start with an incredible inventory of five, yes, you read that right, Bugatti EB110 Super Sport examples. Bugatti engineered the EB110 during a time in history when cars like these weren’t exactly in high demand, leaving only the most affluent and passionate collectors access to something that most never even knew existed. Produced in Molsheim between 1991 and 1995 to honor Ettore Bugatti’s 110th birthday, the EB110 production reached roughly 139 chassis (about 90 GT models and 30 Super Sport models, plus prototypes) before the company's bankruptcy. With more than 3% of all Bugatti EB110s produced in the world under its roof, it proves to be a truly remarkable piece of automotive history at Carrio Motor Cars. Alongside a pair of French Racing Blue specs and one finished in Grigio Chiaro Metallizzato, there are two EB110 Super Sport examples that stand out as museum-grade for any avid Bugatti collectors or enthusiasts. The first is a Giallo Bugatti over a Poltrona Frau originally ordered by Nicole Racing Japan in 1995, one of only three in this configuration, showing just 6k-miles on the odometer. And while each one remains special in its own way, the one-of-one factory full-exposed carbon fiber EB110 Super Sport takes the top spot as the world’s most famous and sought-after example. It was built using parts Dauer Sportwagen bought from Bugatti after their 1995 bankruptcy. Ten cars in total were built by Dauer with their new carbon fiber versions of the originally aluminum EB110 bodies between 1999 and 2002, officially ending the EB110 production run, but only one was left in fully exposed carbon fiber. In a world where Chirons, Mistrals, and now, Tourbillons carry the legacy of Bugatti, setting the stage for modern hypercar momentum, there’s a growing market for the early risers that set the tone and paved the way for the impossible to become possible.

Bugatti Announces The Departure Of Its First Molsheim Employee

By Tyler Rampersaud – June 09, 2026

Bugatti’s First Molsheim Employee Is Leaving

Bugatti is a brand with well over a century of history, and some of the most impressive creations and milestones in the entire automotive industry over the years. In the early 2000s, Bugatti returned to its historic home of Molsheim, France, beginning a chapter that would shape today’s automotive industry. Bugatti’s time in Molsheim brought forth the Veyron, with unprecedented performance and an equally unprecedented W16 quad-turbocharged engine. The Veyron and Chiron both represented the ultimate echelon of the automotive industry, and now, the W16 has given way to the Tourbillon, which is powered by a new hybrid V16 powertrain. Alongside the beginning of Tourbillon production, the Molsheim Atelier is waving goodbye to a chapter of its own: the tenure of its first employee, Patrick Burk. A facility manager from Saverne, France, Burk’s journey began by responding to a job advertisement that lacked a company name and a location. What he eventually found was the unrestored château that Ettore Bugatti had once called home. Burk lived on-site, serving as the main liaison between Bugatti and the outside world, as well as with the Volkswagen Group. <- Gallery -> About his time there, Burk says, “Bugatti was the priority. 24 hours a day, weekends included. Work never stopped. I sacrificed time with my family, for the brand, but I was willing to do so. I was extremely proud to work for Bugatti, to be the first and only one on site, entrusted with the care of the Château and the task of rebuilding a legend.” His children were raised there, and over 25 years, Burk served as Chief of Construction, and also Guest Relations Manager and Concierge, among many hats he wore. The ceremony of marking the Atelier’s first stone was one of his first and most significant major tasks, and as event organizer, host, and project coordinator, he pulled the event off for over 300 guests, including a fireworks display he’d organized in secret as a surprise. Eventually, Burk became a face of the Molsheim Atelier, welcoming owners and guests to the automotive paradise and embodying the Bugatti brand beyond the cars themselves. As his time with Bugatti comes to an end while Tourbillon production begins, Burk leaves behind an incredible 25 years of legacy with one of the world’s greatest automotive brands. Now, he opens a new chapter, enjoying more time with his wife, children, and grandchildren. View All Bugatti For Sale Image Source: Bugatti

Bugatti x C SEED N1 Super TV Inspired by the $4.6M Tourbillon Hypercar

When it comes to something as visually stunning as a hand-crafted, multi-million-dollar hypercar, it's only natural for its design to inspire creativity outside of the automotive world. As part of its newest collaboration with Austrian television specialists at C SEED, Bugatti is bringing the design concept of its $4.6 million Tourbillon hypercar to the comfort of any living room with the all-new Bugatti N1 Super TV. At first glance, the C SEED BUGATTI N1 doesn't even look like a television. When turned off, it resembles a piece of modern furniture, drawing inspiration from the lines and profile of the Bugatti Tourbillon. That's exactly the point. Bugatti and C SEED wanted to create something that blends into a space until it's needed. At the touch of a button, the N1 transforms from a sideboard into a massive 110-inch or 137-inch display in just 45 seconds. The unfolding process is part of the experience, with the screen smoothly extending and assembling into place through an expertly engineered mechanism.While terms like "4K MicroLED" can sound gimmicky, the technology is actually easy to appreciate. MicroLED is considered one of the most advanced display technologies available today because it offers brighter images and more vibrant colors than most traditional TVs. In simple terms, that means movies, sports, and video games look sharper, more realistic, and easier to see even in brightly lit rooms. Another ingenious feature is C SEED's patented technology that makes the seams between the folding display panels virtually invisible, creating one continuous screen despite its folding design.The N1 comes with a built-in sound system by Wisdom Audio, with speakers that remain hidden until activated and emerge to create a theater-like experience. Even the materials reflect Bugatti's DNA, with carbon fiber and finishes actually used on the Tourbillon. Offered in bespoke colors and sizes, the C SEED BUGATTI N1 is now available through C SEED and Bugatti, whether you’re a Tourbillon owner or not.
