The Bugatti Chiron’s replacement was recently launched, and it’s called the Bugatti Tourbillon. The French hypercar brand, now under the Bugatti Rimac banner, unveiled its latest creation a few months ago. We had the exclusive opportunity to see the prototype model up close and personal at a private preview in Dubai.
Introducing Bugatti’s latest creation, the Tourbillon. This new flagship hypercar boasts a powerful 1,800-hp hybrid V-16 engine.
Bugatti pulled off something close to an automotive miracle when they unveiled the Veyron. The bit that made it legendary was its quad-turbo 1000+ hp W16 monster of an engine. Variants of this mill have powered the entire Bugatti line-up since then but the time has come for it to go. Here is the new Bugatti Mistral acting as one final hurrah, a sweet swan song to this legendary motor.
With the curtains finally falling on 2020, here is a list of all recalls announced around the world in the last month.
Bugatti makes bonkers machines that bend the conceivable boundaries of performance, technology, and of course, price. Previously, the company has spawned a list of mad limited edition machinery including the Centodieci, Divo, Super Sport 300+, La Voiture Noire, and more. They have now crafted the craziest of them yet, the Bugatti Bolide, a track monster capable of hitting 500+ kph, at least theoretically.
If ever there were roads least suited to a hypercar, here they are. The ribbon of tarmac that stretches ahead is littered with an assortment of lumps and bumps, with some sections of bitumen having crumbled away altogether. The snaking route is also so narrow in parts that there’s just enough space for two cars to pass in opposing directions without rubbing shoulders.
After several teasers, the Bugatti Divo was finally revealed at Pebble Beach. The Divo is essentially a Chiron but with completely overhauled exterior and aerodynamic bits to make it very agile.
July has been a month littered with tiny recalls by different manufacturers. Here is the list of all cars that were recalled in the past month.
There are two ways to make a car go faster. Add more power or lose some weight. In the case of the Bugatti Chiron, which is filled to the brim with power, the latter is the most favoured choice. So, at the ongoing Geneva Motor Show, Bugatti uncovered the Bugatti Chiron Sport, which is 18 kilos lighter, faster around corners, and preposterously more expensive.
There are certain things that happen only once in a lifetime. One of them is the chance to drive a Bugatti of any sort. When the Veyron was new in 2005, George W. Bush was still the U.S. president and the iPhone was still a passing thought in Steve Jobs’ mind. Of course, now we have the Chiron. Our resident journosaur Gautam Sharma drove one at the global launch event in Portugal last year. And this winter, I was offered an exclusive drive of the exact same car right here on the roads of the UAE, with 1988 24 Hours of Le Mans champion Andy Wallace as co-driver.
