Some names need no introduction. Bugatti is one of them. Since launching the Tourbillon last year, the brand has offered a vast array of customisation options. Now, an exclusive new configuration joins the lineup: the all-new “Équipe Pur Sang” option. With this latest edition, Bugatti once again redefines how art, speed, and legend can merge into a breathtaking experience.
“Équipe Pur Sang” pays vibrant tribute to Bugatti’s motorsport heritage. But it’s far from a simple retro exercise, this is a bold, aerodynamic vision of the future. Equipped with a specially designed front wing, a bespoke eight-outlet exhaust system, and an aggressive rear diffuser, this configuration enhances both the presence and the performance of the Tourbillon, while its lightweight directional wheels optimise airflow and cooling.
Whether configured with the “Équipe Pur Sang” option or not, every Tourbillon represents a pivotal moment in automotive history. Powered by an entirely new naturally aspirated 8.3-litre V16 engine producing 1,000 horsepower, supported by three electric motors delivering an additional 800 horsepower, the Tourbillon pushes the limits of what is possible for a road-legal vehicle. Despite this immense power, its ultra-light chassis made from advanced carbon fibre ensures exceptional agility and precision.
But what truly sets the Tourbillon apart is its remarkably singular dashboard. In an era defined by fleeting digital interfaces, Bugatti goes against the grain, taking inspiration from haute horlogerie, where certain pieces endure for centuries without losing their relevance or refinement. This timeless vision gave rise to the Tourbillon’s skeletonised dashboard, crafted with the precision of a Swiss watchmaker. Comprising more than 600 components made of titanium, sapphire, and ruby, it is a mechanical masterpiece.
The steering wheel’s fixed hub keeps the instrument cluster perfectly aligned with the driver’s line of sight, while only the outer ring rotates—a system both innovative and elegant, underscoring the artisanal craftsmanship present throughout the cabin. Through this deliberate choice, Bugatti affirms its commitment to an analogue experience designed to defy time.
The interior continues this pursuit of balance between performance and craftsmanship: the crystal-glass centre console reveals machined-aluminium controls, while the pull-to-start lever creates a physical connection to the mechanical soul of the car. Even the audio system breaks conventions: instead of traditional speakers, resonant panels deliver a lighter, more immersive, and purer sound.
Produced in only 250 units worldwide, the Tourbillon embodies the pinnacle of Bugatti’s technical and artistic genius. With the Tourbillon “Équipe Pur Sang” edition, the brand delivers a rare fusion of raw power, elegance, and heritage, a hypersports car conceived not only for the road, but “For Eternity.”
