When the Tourbillon initially took stage, nearly everything written about it fawned over its meticulous dash, its beautiful curves, and included every chrono-pun one could think of. Finally, Bugatti has given us a peek at what's actually under the hood.

Bugatti went all-in with the Tourbillon, crafting a bespoke 8.3L V16 engine with Cosworth and commissioning a matching V16 Jacob & Co. watch – two mechanical masterpieces, one roars, one ticks.

At a test track in Germany, Bugatti has just recorded an open-top speed much quicker than the iconic Veyron managed with a roof on when it stunned the world in 2010. Next stop, says Mate Rimac, is 500 km/h (311 mph) and the outright speed crown.

Twenty years ago, the Veyron was born. A dozen years later, the Chiron. And now the Tourbillon – Bugatti's new epoch – born through the concept of horology: a 277-mph, 1,800-hp, naturally aspirated V16, three-electric-motor, luxury hybrid hypercar.
