  • What Makes the Bugatti Tourbillon’s Engine Roar So Ferociously?

The world of hypercars is about to witness the birth of a new legend. The 2026 Bugatti Tourbillon, the highly anticipated successor to the iconic Chiron, is already making waves with its fearsome sound. A newly released audio clip shared by Bugatti CEO Mate Rimac offers a tantalizing preview of this beast’s growl, and it is nothing short of menacing. As Bugatti moves away from its signature W-16 engine, the Tourbillon breaks new ground as the first Bugatti to feature a V-16 engine. With production limited to just 250 units and a starting price of $4.6 million, the Tourbillon is set to be a rare masterpiece. But beyond the exclusivity and the price tag, it's the sound and power that truly captivate.

Unleashing the Power of a V-16 Masterpiece

The Bugatti Tourbillon is powered by an 8.3-liter V-16 engine developed by Cosworth, a name synonymous with racing excellence. This engine isn’t just about raw power; it’s about redefining what a hypercar can be. Capable of revving up to an astonishing 9000 rpm, the Tourbillon’s engine produces a jaw-dropping 1775 horsepower when paired with three electric motors. Even when the electric assistance is stripped away, the combustion engine alone delivers an impressive 986 horsepower and 664 pound-feet of torque. This monstrous powertrain is why the Tourbillon is already being hailed as a marvel of engineering.


The audio clip shared by Mate Rimac captures the engine’s aggressive bark and rapid acceleration, hinting at the car’s untamed power. Rimac expressed his desire to keep the exhaust note “soft-limiter free,” ensuring an authentic, unfiltered roar that resonates with purists and enthusiasts alike. This sound is more than just noise; it’s a symphony of mechanical excellence, a reminder that despite the shift towards hybridization, Bugatti remains committed to delivering an exhilarating driving experience.

The Tourbillon is more than just a successor to the Chiron; it is a symbol of Bugatti’s relentless pursuit of performance and innovation. With its potent V-16 engine and cutting-edge hybrid technology, it represents a bold leap into the future of hypercars. As Bugatti prepares to begin production next year, the automotive world eagerly awaits the arrival of this extraordinary machine. The 2026 Bugatti Tourbillon isn’t just a car; it’s a statement, a legend in the making.
