Bugatti Tourbillon New Car, not a New Watch

 
By: patrick_y : June 20th, 2024-22:11
Mate Rimac, the young Croatian electric car wunderkind who is now the managing partner of Bugatti (after VW offloaded a portion of the company to Rimac) has introduced the next Bugatti. Called the Bugatti Tourbillon - this machine will be stupefyingly qui...  

I think it looks brilliant.

Easily my favorite Bugatti design so far. The fact that the ICE is naturally aspirated is particularly enticing. I agree with your statements, I have that puritanical mindset as well, but also see no problem with combining ICE and electric propulsion to t... 

I agree. The styling is beautiful!

And the Veyron and Chiron were already achingly beautiful cars.

In the hagarty video they used some UN watches as examples

Love that the dash looks like a watch, I mean the inner angles are just okay😉 youtu.be

Initial glance made me think it was a signature 1 (GF) bc of the lighting

Ahh! Well... He should be wearing a GF too! That's what I keep on telling him.

I think right now he's wearing a Tag Heuer. Which is actually appropriate. Since in my eyes, Mr. Roland Iten, looks like a very handsome version of Steve McQueen. ...  

yuck!

looks like a re-bodied nevera.... the chassis is definitely the same as a nevera.

Ahh. Are you using eyes to read wheelbases and widths or are you using eyes just eyeballing the two have similar designs?

It seems that you're one of those people who makes an outlandish statement from no knowledge and now won't back down.

It's a philosophical difference....

more than anything else given the state of today's technology........

'This car is completely new....

 
By: AuHavrePro : June 21st, 2024-04:16
.... so it doesn't share one single component with either the Chiron, or the Nevera, or any other car. It has zero in common with any of these cars, it's completely from ground-up....' - Mate Rimac ; Just thought it was worth pointing out again to anyone ... 

Rimac said....

That it's made by a watchmaker called Concepto in Switzerland....

Me neither,

 
By: AuHavrePro : June 21st, 2024-08:22
I believe it's a company name, not an individual!....

Much appreciated!

It now makes sense to me why I hadn't heard of them beforehand ....

they make the watches for Jacob

 
By: grandesonnerie : June 21st, 2024-13:54
these are the guys behind most non repeating watch from Jacob including the current Astronomias and bugatti watches...

Carwow has a great video with Mate

explaining the design choices. The entire design is next level 3.8mm Euro ( not 38mm ) Release 2026

Yes, there is a top speed key.

There car is normally limited to a speed slower than 455. And you need a special key to go to 455. The car has capabilities beyond 455, but you need even more special factory permission to go above 455.
