Tradition<\/h2>\n

For 116 years, Bugatti<\/a> has been defined by the relentless pursuit of excellence, where artistry and engineering converge to push the boundaries of performance. This philosophy continues into the marque\u2019s new era \u2013 one characterized by innovation, and an unwavering dedication to creating the extraordinary. At the heart of this is an all-new V16, a feat of engineering that stands apart in the modern automotive landscape. Episode Seven of the \u2018A New Era\u2019 docuseries (See below) \u2013 captures a defining moment in the engine\u2019s journey.<\/p>\n

The pursuit of perfection necessitates an uncompromising approach to development. For the brand from Molsheim, the journey to develop a powertrain that would drive the new era of Bugatti hyper sports cars began in 2021 when Mate Rimac<\/a> made initial contact with the high-performance internal combustion engine specialists at Cosworth<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Unlike conventional early-stage testing, which often starts with the assembly of a single-cylinder mule engine, Bugatti took a more ambitious approach.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re building a Bugatti, so naturally, the number of cylinders and the displacement needed to be significant. That\u2019s why we opted for a four-cylinder mule engine rather than just one. This approach allows us to better understand performance characteristics, sound quality, and overall behavior.\u201d<\/p>\n
