For more than 116 years, Bugatti has defined automotive excellence through designs that transcend trends. With the debut of the Bugatti Tourbillon, the marque introduces a new interior concept rooted in heritage, mechanical purity, and timeless craftsmanship.
Explored in the latest episode of Bugatti’s A New Era series, the Tourbillon’s cabin draws a clear lineage from the brand’s most iconic models. Signature design cues, most notably Bugatti’s center line and C-line, extend into the interior, creating distinct, sculpted spaces for driver and passenger while maintaining harmony with the exterior design.
The cabin’s material palette elevates the sensory experience through a blend of supple leather and newly developed, tailor-made fabrics. This approach, which Bugatti calls “car couture,” translates the precision and exclusivity of Haute Couture into the automotive world, reinforcing the Tourbillon’s bespoke character.
Central to the Tourbillon’s design philosophy is timelessness, a concept echoed in its name, borrowed from historic watchmaking innovation. Rather than relying on expansive digital displays, Bugatti chose a deliberately analogue driving experience, emphasizing physical controls engineered for exceptional haptic feedback and mechanical precision. A hidden central screen remains concealed until deployed, preserving the purity of the design.
The focal point of the cabin is the fixed-hub steering wheel and fully analogue instrument cluster, developed in collaboration with Swiss master watchmakers. Featuring skeletonized dials, milled aluminum casings, and crystal-housed displays, the cluster showcases the beauty of mechanical engineering, an homage to early 20th-century Bugatti models.
