Bugatti is known for going all in when it begins a project. The Tourbillon hypercar was no exception with its incredible ... well, everything.

The hand-built Tourbillon V16 engine, first unveiled in June of 2024, is nothing short of spectacular. Its cross-plane crankshaft is 3-ft 3.4-in-long (almost 1 m) for starters.
