The Bugatti Tourbillon travels across parts of California before returning to France for its official presentation

We already knew the new Bugatti Tourbillon would be on display at Monterey Car Week. The new French hypercar has arrived to be the successor to the Chiron, so we know to expect a striking and impressive car. The American unveiling took place at this luxury car event. The reason it was presented in the United States before France is that the American market will be very important for its sales.

Once the event ended, Bugatti decided to take the car on a short drive through several cities in California, so that it could be seen up close and Californians could see how it moves. The journey was made from Beverly Hills to Newport Beach. The owners of these first cars will be able to enjoy their vehicles in a couple of years.

The hypercar’s journey took place along the Pacific Coast Highway and included a stop at the Beverly Hills dealerships, where it remained for a few hours and was admired by potential customers who came over to see it. From there it reached Nobu Los Angeles, where it took part in an exclusive event.

It also visited Soho House in West Hollywood, venues where wealthy people gather, potential buyers of this model. The powerful V16 engine carried the Tourbillon to an event in Newport Beach, where it took part in a day organised by Bugatti Newport Beach.

Having completed its tour of the United States, the Bugatti Tourbillon returned to France and is now preparing for its official presentation in its home country. This will take place at the exclusive Chantilly Arts & Elegance Richard Mille, held from 12 to 15 September.

The successor to the Chiron

The engine powering this hypercar is not the Chiron’s W16 engine, but instead it uses an 8.3-litre naturally aspirated V16 block. It reaches 9,000 rpm and produces 986 CV. That is not all, as it also features three electric motors that raise the total output to 1,775 CV.

It will accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just two seconds, reaching 500 km/h in five seconds. But the most incredible part is that it will exceed 400 km/h in only 25 seconds.
