French car manufacturer Bugatti has launched its new hyper car Bugatti Tourbillon in the global market. This is the company’s first new model since 2016. The most special thing about this car is its powerful engine, which is a hypercar with a capacity of 1800 horsepower and attractive design. The company claims that the Tourbillon can accelerate from 0-100kmph in 2 seconds.
First of all, talking about the name of the car, ‘Tourbillon’ is inspired by the mechanism of the world of watches. Such watches are transparent and the mechanism or rotating machines inside them can be easily seen. Let’s say that this is a kind of term that is used for any such rotating mechanism.
Why was the name Bugatti Tourbillon used for the car
With this new car, Bugatti has put an end to an old tradition. In which the company used to name cars after racers. Instead, it has been named according to the actual character of the car. Actually, the company has used some such components in this car which show its rotation from outside.
The company has given a special type of steering wheel in this car. The speedometer has been installed on this steering wheel itself. Although the steering wheel rotates during driving, this speedometer remains fixed. This makes the cabin of this car even more cool. To a large extent, it reminds you of such watches as we have told you above.
How is the Bugatti Tourbillon car
This is the most unique car ever introduced by Bugatti. Instead of the W16 engine given in any other Bugatti cars, it has been given a naturally aspirated V16 engine of 8.3 liters capacity which comes with a power of 1,000 horsepower. Apart from this, this engine has also been connected to three different electric motors. In which two motors are installed in the front and one motor in the rear. These electric motors generate an additional power of 800HP. The weight of its engine is 256 kg.
Bird inspired design
The design of a machine running at a speed of 400 km per hour should not only be sharp but aerodynamics also need to be taken care of. The design of this car, inspired by the Falcon species of bird, is very spectacular. From the roof of the car to the under body line below, it has been designed in such a way that it moves forward cutting through the air at high speed. The company calls it the Master of the Air. Its monocoque is made of aerospace-grade carbon composite.
Body structure:
The Tourbillon has been designed around a completely new chassis and body structure. This structure is made of next generation T800 carbon composite, in which many such techniques have been used which help in reducing the weight. Such as integrating the battery as a structural part of the monocoque and a unique crash composite rear diffusor inspired by top level motorsport. The structure of the front composite airduct flowing from the front of the car is also quite different.
The front and rear frames are made from low pressure thin wall aluminum castings and 3D printed structural braces. The company says that it is lighter and stronger than the previous model.
Performance figures:
- 0-100 km/h: 2.0 seconds
- 0-200 km/h: Less than 5 seconds
- 0-300 km/h: Less than 10 seconds
- 0-400 km/h: Less than 25 seconds
- Top speed: 445 km/h
- Maximum RPM: 9,000
Cabin and doors:
It has self-opening doors which work on sensors. Advanced features and technology are clearly visible inside the cabin. Silver color control buttons and rotating wheel are provided on the central console. The black interior and stylish steering wheel matching the body color make it even more special. The steering wheel of this two-seater car is its biggest attraction. The company says that more than 600 components have been used in this wheel inspired by watchmaking technology.
What will be the price:
The way Bugatti Tourbillon has been designed and developed is very special in itself. According to global media reports, the price of this car can be around $ 4.06 million (about Rs 33.90 crore). The company can start its delivery by 2026. Bugatti says that only 250 units will be produced initially.
