But what lies ahead in the future of this brand?

Electric hypercars from Bugatti
In recent years, the supercar landscape has changed rapidly.
Electric cars are now all the rage, and the luxury French brand certainly isn’t going to be left behind.

In 2024, it unveiled the Bugatti Tourbillon, powered by a V16 and three electric motors.
Following on the heels of the discontinued Chiron, production on the Tourbillon is set to commence in 2026.
It was touted around the world from the Goodwood Festival of Speed to Monterey Car Week.
The transition to electric came with the help of Mate Rimac, the CEO of Rimac Automobil.

You may recall his work through hypercars like the Nevera.
Bugatti has promised more exciting things to come in 2025, and we can’t wait to see what it has in store.
AI integration
It’s not just through an electric motor that the Tourbillon was pushing boundaries.

The rear of the Tourbillon featured an AI-developed 3D printed hollow airfoil arm.
This was included to enhance vehicle dynamics and its aerodynamic performance.
Next-gen performance
The Bugatti Tourbillon is still going through the testing stage, so it hasn’t been officially released yet.
That hasn’t stopped it from being spotted in various places, whether out driving in California or showing up at Supercar Blondie’s hotel.
At a cost of $4.6 million and 250 are expected to be built.

It’s not just the Tourbillon that signals the dawn of a new era.
The Bolide and the W16 Mistral are also arriving on the scene and promising to push the boundaries even further.
Christophe Piochon, the company’s president, said: “As we have started to say goodbye to the incredible W16 chapter with the end of the Chiron cycle and the start of production of the last W16-equipped vehicles – Bolide and W16 Mistral, all that made those vehicles timeless remains.
“[The new cars] represent 115 years of dedication to creative genius, unique invention, and the timeless pursuit of perfection.”

2026 is set to be a big year for the future of the brand, and things will only be on the up from there.
