- Bugatti worked its magic to make the naturally aspirated V16 engine pass noise regulations.
- It screams to 9,000 rpm, and everything the driver hears is the real deal, with no artificial enhancements.
- Co-developed with Cosworth, the Tourbillion's 8.3-liter engine sounds "a little bit dirty and raw."
The W16 is dead. Long live the V16. After more than two decades of powering Molsheim's outrageous production cars, Bugatti's legendary W16 has finally gone out of production. The final Mistral was completed a couple of months ago, officially bringing the curtain down on an engine that debuted with the Veyron and continued in the Chiron.
