The Bugatti Tourbillon Premiere at Molsheim: A Timeless Era Begins

A New Era Defined by Timelessness: The Bugatti Tourbillon Premiere at Molsheim

At the heart of Bugatti’s legacy is the profound concept of timelessness, a core element that has shaped every Bugatti model for 115 years. This timeless aura imbues each Bugatti vehicle with a blend of eternal elegance and dynamic evolution. As Bugatti's spiritual home in Molsheim bore witness to a historic milestone, a new era began for the marque with the premiere of the Bugatti Tourbillon. The moment is captured in the fifth episode of the ‘A New Era’ docuseries, where Bugatti President Christophe Piochon reflects on the significance of this unveiling.

“Just imagine, arriving here the day before La Grande Première – seeing the grounds like a canvas adorned with Bugatti models through the ages, each steeped in history. I had goosebumps,” Christophe reminisced.

From the Type 57SC Atalante, hailed as one of the world’s most elegant cars, to the record-shattering Type 35, and the opulent Type 41 Royale, each legendary model has defined Bugatti’s illustrious past. The groundbreaking EB110 and the modern icons Veyron and Chiron further exemplify Bugatti’s legacy. Together, these masterpieces graced the grounds of Château Saint Jean in a tribute to Bugatti’s enduring heritage, welcoming the dawn of the Tourbillon.

“For Bugatti, a World Premiere for a new model is a rare event, occurring once in a decade,” explained Christophe Piochon. “Choosing Molsheim for the presentation is unique and meaningful – this is where Bugatti began in 1909. It was an emotional experience to see these iconic models, reflecting on 22 years of pioneering craftsmanship.”

Bugatti’s unparalleled timelessness permeated every detail of the Tourbillon’s unveiling. From the iconic horseshoe grille to the flowing Bugatti line that graces its exterior, the Tourbillon captivates with its seamless blend of innovation and tradition. The interior, adorned with an exquisite analogue instrument cluster and discreet infotainment system, reflects a commitment to enduring elegance.

“Our vision was to create a ‘digital detox’ interior,” said Christophe. “A timeless car must transcend the years without aging. The Tourbillon, inspired by haute horlogerie, epitomizes sophisticated complexity and innovation.”

For Bugatti’s engineers and the dedicated team behind the Tourbillon’s development, years of meticulous craftsmanship culminated in a world-class unveiling. Attendees from across the globe experienced the momentous debut, marking the beginning of a new chapter for Bugatti’s legacy.

“Seeing the first reactions of our customers is always special. The spark in their eyes reveals their desire to own a piece of this legacy. This connection fuels our passion and shapes our future work at Molsheim,” Christophe shared.

Beyond La Grande Première, the Tourbillon’s journey continues to unite admirers worldwide, representing a living tribute to Bugatti’s pursuit of perfection. Inspired by visionary pioneers like Ettore and Jean Bugatti, Romano Artioli, and Ferdinand Piëch, Bugatti’s new era takes flight, honoring the past and carving a path toward a timeless future.
