This is the 2024 Bugatti Turbillon press/show car. This is the latest Bugatti model which was recently introduced in June of 2024 by Mate Rimac, founder and CEO of the Rimac Group, Rimac Technology, and Greyp Bikes (now known as Porsche eBike Performance GmbH). The Bugatti company was founded in 1909 by industrial designer Ettore Bugatti as Automobiles Ettore Bugatti. This initial company enjoyed some early success in Grand Prix motor racing, automobile engineering and the creation of several railway networks in France called the Autorail Bugatti. After ceasing operations in 1952, the company was then purchased by Hispano-Suiza in 1963 and continued to develop airplane parts. In 1968, Société nationale d’études et de construction de moteurs d’aviation (Snecma) acquired Hispano-Suiz and subsequently, French company Messier as well. In 1977 Snecma merged the two companies to become Messier-Bugatti. In 1987 Italian entrepreneur Romano Artioli purchased the brand and began to build and develop the iconic EB110 GT and EB110 SS in Modena. Operations ceased again by 1995, and in 1998, the company was purchased yet again by the Volkswagen Group. With this, under Bugatti Automobiles S.A.S., came the Veyron Era (2005-2015) and the Chiron Era (2016-present). In 2021, Bugatti Automobiles S.A.S. became a part of a joint venture know as Bugatti-Rimac between Rimac Group and Porsche AG. Fast forward to 2024, and the company’s latest product is set to be limited to just 250 units worldwide. The Turbillon model features a T800 carbon composite chassis, a forged aluminum multi-link suspension developed by Divergent Technologies, 37 miles of electric range on a 24.8 kWh battery, and a titanium watch-inspired instrument cluster designed by Swiss watchmaker Concepto amongst many other fascinating design elements and features.
