2026 Bugatti Tourbillion
This is not a car, it is an aerodynamic concept. It has to be that way if you want to reach almost 450 km/h. Downforce-generating spoilers seem to be more of a hindrance, as they increase air resistance.
And it probably has to be that fast because its predecessor, Chiron, was attacked from so many sides in the end. Every car who came along was proud to be faster than it. Piëch probably didn't have that in mind.
Now, through the collaboration with Rimac, a much better concept has been devised, which has the charm of not being so easy to replicate. Aerodynamics largely takes place under the car.
Two huge intakes at the front, on the right and left. That really doesn't leave much room for a luggage compartment, but it does extend to the base plate. It's a miracle how you managed to get past the seats.
Because they are mounted particularly flat and, thanks to sliding pedals, don't even have seat rails. There is no need to worry about batteries, as they are located in the center console and behind the seats.
But then it goes up, past the completely redesigned, slimmer and, without the turbochargers, significantly lightweighter V16. Its excessive length does not matter, as long as its tailpipes are higher than the air in question.
This results in one of the most powerful diffusers ever and is said to help the powerful exhaust gases of the vacuum cleaner draw so much air out from under the car at high speeds that a spoiler is not necessary.
Well thought out from start to finish. The same applies to the doors, which allow even older people, who may be able to afford one of the 250 models, to get out relatively easily because the roof swings open.
But the highlight is the area around the steering wheel. Bugatti has finally solved the problem of poorly readable instruments. No, they don't turn with the steering wheel, but this around the three.
This includes a very compact airbag, but then nothing really disturbs the togetherness between the driver and the instruments. They also extend far enough for the engine up to 10,000 rpm and the entire car up to 550 km/h.
| So there is still room for improvement. |
