Enrico Talarico, Vehicle Dynamics Manager at Bugatti Rimac, and his team use this data on the driving simulator in Zagreb, where the virtual model is tested on a variety of tracks.
Long before the Bugatti Tourbillon took its first test drives, the development process began in a virtual environment, as the latest episode of ‘A New Era’ reveals.
For Tomislav Šimunić, Head of Vehicle Dynamics at Bugatti Rimac, testing on the driving simulator is essential for collecting large volumes of vehicle data in a short period, making the development process as efficient as possible.
The next step sees the Bugatti team testing the latest results in a full-motion simulator, as shown here with the simulation experts at VI-grade in Italy.
The first test data came from runs of the newly developed V16 engine on test benches in several countries.
At test facilities such as the Nardò Technical Center, data from the simulator is compared with real-world driving data to continuously improve the accuracy of the simulations.
Engineers at Bugatti combined this information with additional data on the chassis and other systems to create the first simulations of the Tourbillon.
The Tourbillon’s virtual journey began at the Campus in Zagreb, Croatia.
