I prefer for it to be non-hybrid but its necessary for Bugatti to remain the fastest car plus they developed new NA V16 motor.
The added complexity will not be a factor for a collector that typically has 50 other cars to choose from.

In leaderboards - you’ll see the term fastest being used. It’s not about top speed or acceleration.
I think you might want to tell fastestlaps.com that they have been using the wrong word for the last 15 years!
Ok let’s be super specific going forward and use velocity and acceleration !

i've also seen many vids of veyrons and chirons completely hauling *** so idk why you're so certain no owners will want to use this as intended

But this is the base car. Like how Veyron Super Sport had a higher top speed than the regular Chiron, but then the Chiron Super Sport or which ever version had a high top speed. So you can count on the Tourbillon to follow in the same process.

Other than the fact they already said they wouldn't

because buying and driving cars such as this is like an act of philanthropy! there are millions of people all over the world who'd be very excited to see one on the streets and would have their day every so slightly improved as a result... you're also promoting creative artistry and driving innovation by showing that there's still an interest in these sorts of machines
i've never seen a veyron, chiron, or other bugatti super car on the road.
and i don't think average people will ever see one either, unless it's on the highway on a trip someplace, or they happen to go to the valet at a country club or fancy restaurant (unlikely).

Would love to see what that looks like when lit up in the dark.
This is a prime example that both power plants when combined gives a level of driving performance that neither can give alone.
good to see them bucking the trend. Saying no to turbos, no to small displacement, no to big iPad screens, no to piano black, no to capacitive touch.

just watched the mat watson video, the more i learn about this car the cooler it gets!
it'll have 3D printed suspension components and an option to drive in ICE only mode which effectively makes it a RWD 1000hp n/a V16, the electric motors only drive the front wheels which gives them more space to add batteries in the tunnel where an AWD system would normally go... the final weight will still be under 2000kg which is pretty impressive when considering everything
