Bugatti shows how all the Tourbillon’s splendor came together.
Automotive engineering is a respectable and challenging feat, thanks to the fact that so many factors are involved. The design of the vehicle not only has to look beautiful, but it also has to possess aerodynamic efficiency. Meanwhile, the interior has to accommodate passengers, technology, and luxury features comfortably, and the mechanical components must be carefully and thoughtfully placed within an extensive set of parameters. In the case of hypercars, all of these factors must be achieved at an even higher level, and manufacturers like Bugatti have the added challenge of paying homage to a rich century of heritage with design cues like its iconic Horseshoe grille.
The Bugatti Tourbillon is the latest and perhaps most ambitious example of Bugatti’s ability to do all of these things, and the documentary series from the manufacturer, called “Bugatti: A New Era” has been chronicling the journey that led to its creation. With its bold V16 engine (which is longer and narrower than its W16 predecessor) and hybrid system, meant that Bugatti returned to the drawing board when it came to everything about the Tourbillon’s packaging.
Beyond the aesthetic, new solutions have been achieved for the Tourbillon’s design from bumper to bumper, allowing for a vehicle that is able to surpass the unfathomable standards set by the Chiron. With the help of cutting-edge technology and AI, engineers were able to reach an absolutely optimal solution when it comes to optimizing the Tourbillon’s performance, and you can watch the new episode of the documentary series now that shows the challenge that setting new standards for hypercar performance takes for the manufacturer whose Chiron already dominates the hypercar world.
