New 1,800hp Bugatti Unveiled!

The Bugatti Chiron replacement has finally been unveiled! Meet the Bugatti Tourbillon!

Mat’s flown over to France to get up close and personal with this all-new hypercar, and he’s being given a guided tour of it with Bugatti’s CEO, Mate Rimac!

So let’s check out what’s new compared to the Chiron. When it comes to the design, there are a whole lot of changes. It’s a brand-new car from the ground up, with no hints of Chiron remaining bar classic design cues such as the horseshoe grille and two-tone C-shape in the rear quarter. Around the back, there is an absolutely massive diffuser, coupled with a huge light bar that has the brand name built into the light. Along the side, the classic Chiron shape remains, while up front there are several vents, including ‘flying fenders’ which guide air under the headlights & around the side of the car.

Step inside and the design is classic Bugatti. The level of luxury is absolutely incredible, with absolutely no plastic to be found throughout. There are no visible screens anywhere, although a small screen will pop out of the dash to allow phone mirroring & the camera feed for the reversing camera. What’s more, there’s no digital driver display - the entire instrument cluster is analogue, with the gears that run fully visible. These are also framed by a gorgeous steering wheel which rotates around them. All-in-all, it looks absolutely stunning!

Then we get to the power unit. The W16 has been stripped out, and it’s been replaced with an incredible 8.3-litre naturally-aspirated V16! This is further supported by three electric motors, and they combine to produce 1,800hp and 2,300Nm! These work together to propel the Tourbillon to 62mph in less than 2 seconds, and it has a top speed of 277mph. Oh, and the V16 redlines at a fantastic 9,500rpm…

All in, the Tourbillon will come in at €3,800,000. So is it worth it? And more importantly, is it a worthy successor to the Chiron? You’ll need to stick with Mat and see for yourself!

that ceo is the dopest ceo you could ever wish for as a car enthusiast

[freepadz]

Italian founder, French company, German parent company, Croatian CEO, British interviewer. Doesn't get much more European than this.

Matt Rimac and Christian Von Koenigsegg are my two favourite automobile brand CEO’s both of these guys seem like genuine people who know and love what they’re doing

[floorpizza]

Seeing a car CEO *THAT* excited about a car is, for lack of a better word, fun. You know that guy put his heart and soul into that car, and it certainly shows. Just... amazing.

[notsojoerogan]

Mate Rimac deciding that an electric Bugatti would be the wrong move is unexpectedly wonderful to hear. He truly understands the pedigree and place that Bugatti has in the car world

[asimo]

Mate Rimac gets it. The ultimate car enthusiast. Understands what Bugatti should be, while also being a huge EV enthusiast. So glad we have him.

[speedbumpblaster]

I really appreciate the “digital detox” that he emphasizes. It truly adds to the driving experience retaining analog features. That gauge cluster itself is going to be amazing. I hope I can see one in person in my lifetime

[Tyro_RisK]

Whoever contributed to the decision to make this brilliant man CEO, thank you!

[abraingaming]

Most CEO's are company executives. This CEO is quite simply... a car guy. Absolutely amazing

[rohanvikani]

this is the best CEO they could have. He knows every detail about the car and talks like he designed it down to the millimeter What a legend.

[kokibr]

There are many fast cars, many luxurious cars, many exclusive cars, many engineering wonders, well Bugatti is the one who has it all. Another masterpiece.

[Buddybryan]

I love that steering wheel it blows my mind how much goes into these cars. The entire car is a work of art!

[shubhamkhare]

Mate is such a gem of CEO. When asked about P1's back reference, he said it first and closed the argument. When compared to Pagani's finesse, he said that man is his hero and he's proud to be compared to him!

No doubt this man is so successful, he's humble af.

[WoodyAtWar]

Way better than even Top Gear, Matt keeps it clean and simple with the questions and answers we really want. Nicely done Carwow

[skillzoness]

Mate is incredible, the design of bugatti were focusing on the bugattis like mistral, centodieci and chiron, but this man changed everything when he came, mostly people liked the chiron than the other models, so a new replica of chiron and interior was changed, and new clock design for the speedometer and it was magnificent, and more importantly the V16 engine (16 pistons) made it the chiron change, that’s how this beauty tourbillon was made, mate does really know what is the feelings of bugatti lovers and in the bugatti automotive world, this man is just on a another level!

[Motor_Mania_]

"This is not designed too be a showpiece in a museum" Absolute Legend.

[dazzlernator]

I really appreciate how Mate Rimac is a CEO who is a genuine petrolhead and doesn't give an air of being a money grabber.
He has a job to make a profit of course but he still gives the impression of being on the customer's side. The board of the VW Group made a great decision to appoint him to Bugatti.

[primart]

Oh my God 🙆‍♂️, this car is absolutely amazing. It's a true work of art. You can see the passion in mate's expression for creating this car. This is truly a masterpiece.

[techtoday]

20:17 that's some crazy honesty from the CEO there!

[MotorDynasty]

To have Mate Rimac as the CEO of Bugatti was a stroke of genius. The man has genuine passion and engineering knowledge. He knows every little detail on this car and the reasoning behind it. Great video
