When it comes to Bugatti’s upcoming Tourbillon supercar, there is much to get excited about a V-16 engine, drool-inducing styling, a 276-mph top speed, and a $4.3-million price tag. But the cabin is where a lucky few will interact with this amazing machine, and believe us, it’s worth its own individual flip-out. It’s nicer, even, than the cabin of the Chiron it replaces. Why don’t you open the scissor door, slip behind the wheel, and soak it all in?
Clockwork Precision in Every Detail
As you settle behind the wheel, you’ll find yourself surrounded by fine leather (doesn’t it smell wonderful?), carbon fiber, metal, and a hundred elaborate details to catch your eye. Simple though the cabin is, at first glance, it’s a bit overwhelming. “Tourbillon” is a type of intricate wristwatch mechanism, and that’s the theme: intricate details and clockwork precision.
That’s a wristwatch, not a smartwatch, and do you notice what you don’t see? Yep, no screen. There is one, but it’s hidden away in the center stack, only to be deployed when needed. Screens date an interior, and after all, which would you rather have, an antique wristwatch or an antique laptop?
Ergonomics and Convenience
You’re looking for the seat adjustment controls, aren’t you? Sorry, there aren’t any. The seat is fixed to the floor; it’s the pedals and steering column that move. This isn’t some cheap half-million-dollar luxury car; for $4 million, the mountain comes to you.
As you adjust the steering wheel, give it a twitch, and you’ll see one of the Tourbillon’s coolest details: The wheel rotates around the steering column. The Bugatti initials on the hub always stay right-side up. The gauge pod attached to the top of the column features gear wheels that move as the gauges rotate, and they’re milled to a precision that ensures instant response, which is no mean feat given the rev-happy V-16 behind you and how fast it’ll twist that speedometer.
Seamless Integration of Controls
Take in that see-through center stack, detailed with sapphire glass. Here you are, with all of two minutes’ time behind the Tourbillon’s wheel, and you can figure out all the controls, can’t you? Top dial for stereo, climate control below that, chassis and door controls, and the parking brake. Who says modern high-end cars need to be complex? The Tourbillon is as straightforward as that analog watch on your wrist.
Look at the pedal box. Accelerator, brake, footrest; small, simple, elegant, and beautiful. That’s what this kind of money gets you—attention to detail in the most unlikely places.
Modern Elegance with a Nod to History
Not that the Tourbillon’s cabin is a throwback; not at all. Look over your shoulder at that lovely light bar that divides the interior. It’s a modern-day homage to the dorsal fin of the classic Type 57S Atlantic. It’s also a subtle reminder that there are drivers and there are passengers, and there is a divide. You’re the driver, and this is your domain.
An Interior Designed for the Driver
Take it all in now, because once you press that starter button, the gods will start screaming in your ear, and sound and speed will be all you know. All your concentration will be on guiding this beautiful bullet down the road.
A Sound and Speed
Cars are, of course, meant to be driven, but Bugattis have always been more than just cars. They are rolling sculptures and a treat for the senses. If you’re one of the 250 or so people fortunate enough to own a Tourbillon, of course you’ll want to drive it. But if you spend just as much time here, sitting quietly behind the wheel and basking in the beauty of this exquisite cabin, we won’t blame you at all.
The Essence of Automotive Luxury
The Bugatti Tourbillon sets a new standard in automotive luxury and performance. The intricate details and clockwork precision of its interior make it a true masterpiece. The cabin’s design reflects a perfect blend of modern elegance and homage to history, creating an environment that is both captivating and functional.
A Driving Experience
The ergonomics and convenience of the Tourbillon are unparalleled. The unique approach of having the seat fixed to the floor while the pedals and steering column move provides an ergonomic and comfortable driving experience. The seamless integration of controls ensures that you can focus on the road ahead without any distractions.
The Symbol of Status
Owning a Bugatti Tourbillon is not just about driving a car; it’s about experiencing a work of art. The attention to detail and the precision engineering that goes into every aspect of the car make it a symbol of status and luxury. The interior of the Tourbillon is a testament to Bugatti’s commitment to creating the ultimate driving experience.
Enjoy Every Moment
As you sit behind the wheel of the Bugatti Tourbillon, you’ll realize that this car is more than just a means of transportation. It’s a sanctuary, a place where you can escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and enjoy a moment of tranquility. The exquisite craftsmanship and the luxurious materials create an environment that is both relaxing and invigorating.
Conclusion
The Bugatti Tourbillon is a masterpiece of automotive design and engineering. Its interior is a blend of modern elegance and clockwork precision, creating a unique and captivating environment. Whether you’re driving it on the open road or simply sitting behind the wheel, the Tourbillon offers an experience that is unparalleled in the world of luxury cars.
