Evolution Of Bugatti: History Veyron To Tourbillon

Learn about what's changed between the hypercar that started it all and Bugatti's latest physics-defying creation

We look back at how Bugatti's flagship supercar has evolved over two decades

The Veyron was the first undertaking by French automaker, Bugatti after VW's takeover in the late 90s

The Veyron debuted in 2004 with an 8.0-liter quad-turbo W16, pushing out 987 hp and 922 lb-ft of torque

Dethroning the McLaren F1, the Veyron 16.4 went on to become the fastest car in the world with a top speed of 253 mph

After several special editions and facelifts, production of the Veyron ended after a 15-year run

It was followed up by the equally mind-numbing Bugatti Chiron which retained the Veyron's quad-turbo W16

It was produced between 2017 and 2024 and the Chiron was able to make the 300+ mph barrier

The latest Bugatti, the Tourbillon, introduces an all-new V16 with three e-motors, together, the hybrid powertrain pushes out 1,775 hp

The Tourbillon debuts with a more aggressive design, thanks to its chiseled body and an outward nose

The 8-speed DCT now sits behind the V16 and the 25 kWh battery pack is positioned in between the seats

The Tourbillon is the first Bugatti to come with dihedral doors

The diffuser at the rear of the Tourbillon looks like it's straight-up from the track-monster Boilde

The interior of the Tourbillon sees more exclusive touches than the Veyron and the Chiron, especially with the clock-inspired instrumentation

The Tourbillon's suspension is 45 percent lighter than the ones found in the Chiron
