Ditching the roar of a solely gas-guzzling engine, Bugatti throws open the doors to electrification with the recently revealed Tourbillon.
This isn’t a farewell to their powerhouse legacy though; the hypercar seamlessly blends electric power with a mighty combustion engine, surpassing its predecessor, the Chiron.
But what’s next on the horizon for the French automaker? Whispers of a Bugatti SUV to rival titans like the Ferrari Purosangue and Lamborghini Urus filled the air, but recent rumors hint at a different path.
Gearheads, buckle up! The iconic brand might be setting its sights on a hyper grand tourer with a front-mid mounted engine, a design shift that promises a thrilling new chapter for Bugatti.
Instead of joining the throng of carmakers venturing into SUVs, Bugatti sets its sights on a new horizon with a rumored hyper GT.

This upcoming beast promises to rival the recently revealed Tourbillon in terms of power, marking a bold expansion for the Volkswagen Group-owned brand. Staying true to its roots in high-performance vehicles, Bugatti is rumored to equip the hyper GT with the Tourbillon’s mighty powertrain.
Combining a colossal 8.3-liter naturally aspirated W16 engine from Cosworth with a trio of electric motors, this formidable alliance unleashes a staggering 1800 horsepower. That’s a significant leap of nearly 300 horsepower over the Chiron and 200 horsepower over the Chiron Super Sport.
The performance figures are equally remarkable Bugatti claims the hyper GT rockets from 0 to 60 mph in a mind-blowing 2 seconds, surpassing even the Tourbillon’s impressive acceleration.
While top speed remains a mystery, rumors whisper of exceeding the blistering 277 mph achieved by the Tourbillon with its special “speed key.” With an official launch date yet to be announced, this exciting addition to the Bugatti family signifies their unwavering commitment to the legacy of untamed speed.
