From a new biopic about the brand’s storied history—produced by the same team behind Lamborghini and Ferrari films—to discussions about its place in the hypercar hierarchy, Bugatti remains a dominant force in the industry. Surprisingly, though, the Tourbillon isn’t the most powerful hypercar out there. With 1,800 horsepower, it ranks behind machines like the Koenigsegg Gemera (2,300 hp) and Rimac Nevera (1,813 hp). However, Bugatti still holds the title for the fastest open-top car, with the Mistral roadster exceeding expectations at 282 mph (453 kph).
Meanwhile, CEO Mate Rimac has hinted that the Tourbillon could push speed limits even further, potentially reaching 310 mph (499 kph). Despite the Chiron’s production ending, Bugatti remains at the center of high-performance discussions.
Enter the Bugatti Avallon – A Digital Dream
In the world of automotive design, digital artists often imagine what brands might create next. One such concept is the Bugatti Avallon, an independent rendering by transportation designer Frédéric Le Sciellour, shared on Car Design World. Le Sciellour, who has previously worked with Ubisoft and Land Rover, envisions the Avallon as a smaller, W16-powered sibling to the Tourbillon.
Visually, the design stays true to Bugatti’s signature aesthetic. However, the key difference lies in the rear, where the Avallon adopts a simpler, more refined look. Under the hood, this hypothetical creation revives Bugatti’s legendary W16 engine, making it a dream for racing enthusiasts and grand tourers alike.
Should Bugatti Expand Its Lineup?
The Avallon is purely a digital concept, but it raises an interesting question—should Bugatti explore a smaller, W16-powered hypercar? Or should the brand pivot toward an ultra-luxurious crossover to compete with the Ferrari Purosangue and Lamborghini Urus SE?
For now, Bugatti remains focused on the Tourbillon. But with imagination running wild, it’s always exciting to see what enthusiasts and designers dream up for the future of this legendary marque.
