In the tenth episode of “A New Era,” Frank Heyl, Bugatti Director of Design, details the beautiful execution and timelessness of the Tourbillon.
Right from the first sketches, the Bugatti design team had a clear vision for the Tourbillon: fusing speed and elegance.
In the early 1930s, by creating a concept called Surbaissé, Jean Bugatti struck upon a moment of genius with the Type 57 SC Atlantic – a car unlike any of the time.
Composed of multiple diffuser channels almost two meters long, beginning underneath the passenger seats, the diffuser runs to a very tall exit at the rear of the car where, at its trailing edge, it meets the mighty V16 engine’s exhaust outlets.
Reveling in the juxtaposition of its beautifully slim light arrangement and the fragmented, technically driven surfaces of the diffuser, the rear of the car is given aerodynamically efficient proportions, all while emphasizing the perception of width and presence.
In a tale of opposing forces and incredible contrasts, the rear of the Tourbillon epitomizes the magnitude of the Bugatti design team’s achievement.
Aerodynamic efficiency has always played an essential role in every previous high-speed program at Bugatti, most notably the Veyron and Chiron; with the Tourbillon, the limits of what is possible are now being pushed even further.
This was partly accomplished by installing seats with a fixed position, while allowing the steering wheel and pedals to be adjusted to give every driver the optimal seating arrangement.
