A new Bugatti, the Tourbillon, will succeed the Chiron as the company pushes to extend its hypercar dominance and secure a stronger position within parent company Volkswagen AG.
This is the second Bugatti to come out of the Porsche AG and Rimac joint venture formed in 2021 that incorporated Bugatti in a plan to nudge it toward electrics. The reorganization at the time was seen as evidence that the French brand’s large internal combustion engine cars lacked a critical role at VW, since VW’s strategy focuses on producing EVs.
