Bugatti Tourbillon enters production — the last naturally aspirated V16 hurrah
Production is finally underway on the Tourbillon after the reveal a while back, and it's worth pausing on what a strange, wonderful anomaly this car is: a naturally aspirated V16 in an era where even Ferrari's flagship hypercars have gone hybrid twin-turbo. Bugatti clearly decided the Chiron's turbocharged W16 approach had run its course and that the successor needed to be a statement about combustion engineering rather than another outright speed record chase. As someone who's owned a Veyron for a decade, I have enormous respect for a manufacturer willing to be this contrarian at the absolute top of the market. Anyone in the queue for one, or seen it in the metal yet?
