The Bugatti Tourbillon Équipe Pur Sang is not just the name of an equipment package – it is a tribute to Bugatti's racing heritage, reimagined for the 21st century.
When Bugatti unveils a new hypercar, the world falls silent and listens. And when that hypercar bears the name Tourbillon, it's clear that there's more to it than just power numbers and blistering acceleration. But when you add the tag Purebred Team, it becomes clear that Bugatti doesn't just build cars, it continues a legacy. It's not just a car – it's history on four wheels, it's Bugatti Tourbillon Équipe Pur Sang, cut in carbon fiber and enhanced with an analog soul. And if Jeremy Clarkson were around, he'd probably say something like: "It's louder than a Metallica concert in a submarine – and it moves like a cheetah on Red Bull."
Bugatti Tourbillon Équipe Pur Sang – a name with history and meaning
Name Purebred Team, which translates to “team of thoroughbreds”, is no coincidence. It is a direct homage to Bugatti’s legendary racing division, responsible for the numerous victories and records that helped create the myth of the Molsheim brand. Today, this name adorns a special specification package for the Tourbillon, which not only emphasizes the racing spirit of the car, but also visually and technically elevates it to a new level. If a bottle of wine bore this name, it would only be opened at a wedding, at a christening, or when you win Formula 1. And all at the same time.
Aerodynamic Makeover – Bugatti Tourbillon Équipe Pur Sang
The Équipe Pur Sang package transforms the car – the Bugatti Tourbillon Équipe Pur Sang – into a hypersport work of art with function. A front splitter and a purpose-designed rear wing with subtle flaps work together to create better aerodynamic efficiency and increase downforce. The car literally presses down to the ground, but at the same time looks even more dramatic – as if it had just left Le Mans and accidentally turned onto the Champs-Élysées.
The story continues at the rear, with a motorsport-inspired diffuser and a stunning 8-pipe exhaust system that's not just there for looks. The sound it produces is a symphony of mechanical perfection. It's like Beethoven, AC/DC and a Rolls-Royce Merlin engine joining forces.
The wheels are not just new – they are a true engineering innovation. Directionally shaped, with long thin spokes, different dimensions at the front (20 inches) and rear (21 inches), specially designed for the left and right sides of the vehicle. Their task is to reduce turbulence and improve cooling of the rear radiator, increasing air flow by up to 8 percent. In other words, while your sushi in the fridge is losing its freshness, this car is cooling its rear with the art of aerodynamics.
Interior – luxury with a racing touch
Inside, the story continues with the sophisticated embroidery of the Équipe Pur Sang logo on the dashboard and seat backs. The interior combines Alcantara with Medium Carbon Fiber details and Black Poli trim. Everything is there for a reason – nothing is superfluous. It’s as if Rolls-Royce and Red Bull Racing had come together to design a space where James Bond could sit on his day off.
The standard Performance Seats provide additional lateral support in high G-forces without sacrificing comfort. The cabin is sporty and elegant at the same time – Bugatti knows how to combine worlds that others might find incompatible. Luxury and extreme? Sure. Analog gauges like Swiss watches? Absolutely. And a digital display that disappears like the old Twitter when Elon Musk took over? That too.
Custom creation – a personal experience at the highest level
The configuration process for the Bugatti Tourbillon does not take place in a typical showroom. The customer is invited to Château Saint Jean in Molsheim or another Bugatti location, where he or she works with a team of experts and designers to create a vehicle that is an expression of their personality. The range of options is impressive and includes 23 new exterior colors, 20 leather options, 10 Alcantara colors and 7 carpet colors. The instruments, created in collaboration with Swiss watchmakers, also allow for multiple configurations and are manufactured to the same standards as high-end mechanical watches.
Every car is unique. Each one is a story. And each one is a tribute to the brand's 115-year heritage. Not in the style of a PowerPoint presentation, but more like an antique Château, inviting you to store within it something that will never go out of style: pure prestige and power.
A technique that pushes the boundaries of what is possible
Under the bodywork lies an engineering masterpiece. The 8.3-liter naturally aspirated V16 engine, which develops 1,000 hp (735 kW) on its own, is assisted by three electric motors to add another 800 hp (588 kW). Total output: 1,800 hp (1,324 kW). And that's without turbochargers.
The advanced T800 carbon fiber frame, which also integrates the battery, helps to reduce weight – the Tourbillon is lighter than the Chiron, despite all the electric additions. And the result? Brutal performance. Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in around 2 seconds, and a top speed limited to 445 km/h (276 mph). If you make it through without feeling dizzy, Jeremy would probably congratulate you and say: “You, sir, are not human.”
Conclusion: art, power and tradition in one
The Bugatti Tourbillon Équipe Pur Sang is not just a vehicle. It is an icon, it is a statue in motion, it is a testament to what human imagination and engineering know-how can achieve when freed from limitations.
Starting price at 3.8 million euros, but the reality is closer to 5 million. The limited edition of 250 units means that this car is almost certain to become a valuable collector's item - and that's before the first tire wears out. This is not just an investment - it's a Mona Lisa of cars with the soul of Hellboy.
For those looking for more than speed – for those who value heritage, aesthetics, innovation – the Bugatti Tourbillon Équipe Pur Sang is not just a choice. It's a destination. And if you ever drive it on Slovenian roads? Well, we hope you have a big enough curb to pass the first police car.
