Bugatti’s modern identity is indelibly linked to the gargantuan 8.0-litre, quad-turbo, funny-shaped W16 engine that powered first the Veyron, and then the Chiron. But when times are a-changin’, how do you replace your headline act?
For the new Tourbillon, Bugatti once again settled on 16 cylinders, but this time they’re in a ‘V’ configuration with not a turbo in sight. Displacement is a monster 8.3-litres, it’ll rev to 9,000rpm, and make 986bhp and 664lb ft before you add in 789bhp of electric assistance via three e-motors.
The new V16 is engineered by Cosworth, the same British company that’s recently created V12s for the Aston Martin Valkyrie and GMA T.50.
So, how does it differ from those two, and more importantly, how does it sound at full chat on a dyno? Over to Top Gear Magazine’s Tom Ford…

Exactly this. So unlike Cosworth's recent V12s, there's apparently no trickery needed with the firing order. Or perhaps BRM weren't so wide of the mark after all, more than 74 years ago now. EDIT: nope, there is some very obscure trickery involved here. Time to investigate!

@beagle7622 День назад

The first Cosworth that I heard that sounded out of this world was DFV in a Lotus 49 driven by the great Jim Clark alone on the track at Sandown Park in Melbourne Australia. Because he was alone for about 40 minutes the sound was bouncing off the billboards. The sound is still in my head it was just amazing. Two months late Clark was killed in the F2 race at Hockelheim. I was 15 & Jimmy was a hero of mine then & still is.

The Valkyrie costs $450,000 (£355,000) over three years to maintain, according to report by Bloomberg. Hence lots of cancelled orders. What are the service costs over three years for this monster? Before you say Bugatti owners don’t care they are the same customers who ordered the Valk.

The increase in value of these vehicles far exceeds this figure. And according to a statement of 2015 from former Bugatti CEO Wolfgang Durheimer, the average [Veyron] owner has a total of 84 cars, three private jets, and a yacht. I think, if they want a car like that they don't care about $150,000 a year at all. A one week trip with the yacht most likely costs more. 😅

Didn't know it was a cosworth engine 🤔

@PaganiZondaF650hp 5 дней назад

Would really be interesting to know if they just got approached for prototype building and dyno testing or if they actually designed the thing. Back in the Piëch days VW wouldn't have outsourced the engineering, but times are changing... VW can't even get their car software to work properly...

Outstanding piece of engineering. Much success to Cosworth, and Bugatti of course. Also... 3:40 dem cylinder walls still have enough thickness to increase bore if needed, I guess. I wonder if we could see an even larger version of this engine in the future. Or, at the very least, putting out a bit more power, like 1,100 hp and revving to 10,000 rpm, maybe...after all, the Tourbillon surely will deserve a sportier version in the future. 👌🏻🗿

yes it will but you might need to modify the firewall and cut a small slit in the hood. Or even better, but it in the trunk!

I would have been impressed if I didnt know they had a V12 which makes the same power: 'The Valkyrie contains a 6.5-litre naturally-aspirated V12 engine tailored by Cosworth, which produces around 746 kW (1,000 hp) at 10,500 rpm, with a redline of 11,100 rpm. This will make it the most powerful naturally-aspirated engine ever to be fitted to a production road car.'

We are talking about Bugatti. This is a first NA V16 engine in 21st century made from scratch. Key reasons are uniqueness and reliability.

@JemaKnight 4 дня назад

A standard Bugatti would never do something like go to 11000RPM. It's the antithesis of their design philosophy. It should feel effortless and relatively undramatic to find the limits of the car. No doubt there will later be a Tourbillon SuperSport or something along those lines which will take this engine and go completely off the wall with it.

@@Tippotipo The engine is made by Cosworth, not by Bugatti. The fact is that this V16 makes the same power as their V12. And how do you know if its reliable ? The car has not even been released yet.

This is what all hypercars are about: the driver's experience. The looks, the feel, the smells and of course the noises. This is the reason why f.e. Mr. Hennesey like to keep it raw, to give the owner a connection to the road, a lost car feel in today's modern disconnected people haulers that all look the same. It's all about passion. 😎🤘

What makes Ferrari truly special its that they create their own engine, and their engines are among the best in the world especially their v12 engines.

@steven_taylor_ 5 дней назад

Definitely but Ferrari didn't create any new V12 engines ever since the Enzo was unveiled. They just update and modernise it to match and even beat newer V12 engines.
