A new Bugatti hypercar, named the Tourbillon, will succeed the Chiron as the company aims to extend its dominance of the high-end automotive sector and secure its place within parent company Volkswagen.

Earlier this year, the Chiron’s 500-car production run ended with the $3.9 million Chiron Super Sport. Meanwhile, the last of the W16-powered models — the Bolide and W16 Mistral — will be delivered later this year.

The €3.8 million ($4.1 million) Tourbillon — French for whirlwind — pairs a 1800 horsepower, 8.3 liter naturally aspirated V-16 engine developed by Cosworth to a new eight-speed dual-clutch gearbox. The hypercar also utilizes two electric motors — a first for the 115-year-old company. The Tourbillon can officially reach an electronically limited top speed of 445 kph (276 mph), though 300 mph+ speeds should technically be within reach. Finally, electric assistance means driving up to 37 miles without using the main power plant is possible.

“The Bugatti brand is about heritage, about craftsmanship, about artisan work, [and] a combustion engine very much still fits within the picture,” explained Bugatti Chief Executive Officer Mate Rimac. “We felt like people still want that craftsmanship of the combustion engine”.

An obvious highlight of the Tourbillon is its highly aesthetic and opulent interior. The center console uses crystal glass and aluminum to accentuate various dials and switches, while Swiss watchmakers were enlisted to create an intricate three-gauge instrument pod made from titanium, ruby, and sapphire.

Moving to the Tourbillon’s exterior, we see clean lines, a signature horseshoe shape, and “dihedral” doors. Finally, when using track mode, a hidden rear wing acts as an airbrake for greater stability while braking.

Bugatti’s executives have yet to discuss whether they will use their new hypercar to attempt another top-speed record. In total, 250 Tourbillons will be built, with deliveries beginning in 2026.

Google has announced plans to set up a cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI) hub in Saudi Arabia, a move aimed at accelerating technological growth and economic development across the wider gulf region. The ambitious project aligns with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, an initiative that champions technology and innovation as central to economic diversification away from the oil industry.

According to Google, the hub has the potential to contribute as much as $71 billion to Saudi Arabia’s economy. The initiative will likely speed up the adoption of AI across industries such as healthcare, retail, and financial services — not only within Saudi Arabia but also throughout the wider MENA region and beyond.

Yasir Al Rumayyan, Governor of Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF), highlighted the importance of the project for the Kingdom: “This partnership demonstrates PIF’s dedication to fostering an AI-friendly environment through investments in human capital and technology, upskilling thousands with cutting-edge tools to support our sustainable and innovative infrastructure goals,” he explained. Al Rumayyan also emphasized that Saudi Arabia’s combination of sector knowledge and long-term investment strategies makes it an ideal environment for global technology partnerships.

A central aim of Google’s initiative is nurturing local talent. The AI hub will offer a range of training, research, and collaboration opportunities for developers, researchers, and entrepreneurs within Saudi Arabia. Google envisions training “millions” of people, helping to create a robust innovation ecosystem that supports entrepreneurship and ensures economic benefits reach all segments of society.

As international technology giants increasingly look to develop solutions tailored to regional needs, Google’s initiative reflects a progressive approach that leverages the strengths of local markets. With the potential to inject billions into the economy and strengthen digital capacities, Saudi Arabia could soon emerge as a prominent center for AI innovation in the Middle East.
