Vehicle model
Bugatti Gamme Bugatti - électrique/hybride
Electrification at Bugatti begins concretely with the Tourbillon, unveiled as the Chiron's replacement and with deliveries planned from 2026. It is the first Bugatti to incorporate a plug-in hybrid system, the fruit of the partnership with Rimac, the Croatian specialist in high-performance electric vehicles. The Tourbillon targets a clientele of collectors seeking both the emotion of a naturally aspirated combustion engine and the contribution of electrification, in a very limited production run. Like other Bugattis, it adopts specific high-performance tires on large-diameter wheels, with no mass-market equivalence. In Quebec, this type of exceptional vehicle does not run in winter and therefore does not require a standard winter fitment; seasonal storage remains the rule. The presence of a high-voltage battery also implies maintenance and service reserved for the brand's specialized network.

Technology
Technologies, engines and platforms
Plug-in hybrid system: a naturally aspirated 8.3-liter V16 engine developed with Cosworth, three electric motors (two at the front, one at the rear), and an 800-volt battery from Rimac, for roughly 1,800 hp combined and a limited electric range.
Tires and wheels
Tire and wheel compatibility
Les Bugatti chaussent des pneus de très grande largeur et des jantes de fort diamètre, souvent autour de 20 pouces à l'avant et 21 pouces à l'arrière sur la Chiron, avec des sections arrière très larges. En raison des vitesses extrêmes, ces véhicules exigent des pneus haute performance développés spécifiquement par le manufacturier, non interchangeables avec des pneus grand public. Il s'agit de montes ultra-spécialisées, sans équivalence courante. Au Québec, ces voitures de collection ne roulent pas l'hiver; aucune monte hivernale standard n'est prévue. Pour des dimensions et indices exacts, il faut toujours se référer aux spécifications officielles propres au modèle et à l'année.
