New Bugattis don’t come along every year. The Tourbillon, which was unveiled in June, is just the third distinct model the French marque since it was acquired by Volkswagen late last century, and first since Rimac founder Mate Rimac took over. The new model looks to be an able successor to the Veyron and Chiron pairing an expectedly absurd design with a ferocious powertrain. The latter of those features is what most differentiates this hypercar from its predecessors. While every other modern-day Bugatti had had a quad-turbo W-16 sitting in the engine bay, the Tourbillon gets its power from a naturally aspirated 8.3-liter V-16 and a trio of electric motors. The hybrid setup produces and astonishing 1,800 hp. Thanks to all that power the car can launch from zero to 60 mph in two seconds flat and has a targeted top speed of 276 mph, though its speedometer goes to 550 kph (or 341 mph).
