Bugatti operates in a part of the car market that barely overlaps with ordinary car buying. These are not luxury cars in the usual sense. They are ultra-rare hypercars built for a small number of very wealthy customers, where engineering ambition, collectability and exclusivity matter more than practicality or day-to-day value.

For many people, Bugatti is still defined by the Veyron and Chiron. Those cars made the brand famous again by pushing power, speed and price into territory that few other manufacturers could reach. The W16 Mistral then marked the final road-going chapter for Bugatti’s long-running W16 engine, while the track-only Bolide took that engineering in an even more extreme direction.

The brand is now moving into a new phase with the Tourbillon. Rather than becoming a straightforward electric car, it uses a naturally aspirated V16 engine alongside electric motors. That makes it an unusual bridge between Bugatti’s recent past and its future, keeping combustion-engine drama while adding electric assistance to the package.

For UK readers, Bugatti is unlikely to be a realistic buying choice, but it still matters as a marker of where the very top end of the car industry is heading. It shows how far manufacturers can push performance, personalisation and price when normal market rules barely apply. This page brings together all of our Bugatti coverage in one place, so you can follow the brand’s latest models and see how it fits into the wider performance car world.
