2026 Bugatti Tourbillon Sounds

New audio of the 2026 Bugatti Tourbillon makes us think the 1775-hp hypercar starts each day with a healthy bowl of nuts and bolts. A brief Instagram video shared by Bugatti CEO Mate Rimac announces the Tourbillon with an aggressive bark while revving followed by a series of acceleration videos on track that sound simply phenomenal. For anyone worried about Bugatti’s adoption of hybridization, you can put those fears to rest.

According to Rimac, the audio is representative of what the production car’s exhaust will sound like. «Hopefully we can keep it soft-limiter free!» the CEO wrote in his post. We couldn’t agree more, as the 8.3-liter V-16 Cosworth-developed engine is rated up to 9000 rpm. With the trio of electric motors added in, the Tourbillon’s powerplant produces a combined 1775 horsepower. Take the electrons away, and the combustion mill still puts out an incredible 986 horsepower and 664 pound-feet of torque. 

«What a car,» Rimac said on the post. «I don’t think we understand yet what we have built. This will be one for the history books.» He added «Here’s to the team! Keep pushing—the world is waiting!» We sure are, Mate. We sure are.

Bugatti will only build 250 Tourbillons, with production slated to begin next year. The price befits the promised performance, with window stickers expected to start around $4,600,000.
