The 250-kilowatt electric motor spins up to 24,000 rpm and delivers power instantly.
Intelligent integration of the entire drivetrain into the overall concept of the Tourbillon results in a low center of gravity and lower overall weight compared to the previous model.
The powertrain on the rear axle of the Tourbillon consists of an 8.3-liter naturally aspirated V16 engine, an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission with torque vectoring and a 250-kilowatt electric motor.
This design not only contributes to the structural rigidity of the vehicle, but also optimizes weight distribution and enables an electric range of more than 60 km.
Mate Rimac, CEO of Bugatti Rimac, gives viewers a personal insight into the unique hybrid system of the Bugatti Tourbillon in the latest episode of ‘A New Era’.
The battery has a T-shape and is integrated into the monocoque of the Tourbillon together with the highly efficient oil cooling system.
The Tourbillon's battery consists of more than 1,500 individual cells and has an enormous energy density.
The hybrid system is supplemented by a front e-axle with two independent electric motors, each powering one of the front wheels.
