Join the Bugatti development team as they travel to Michelin’s Ladoux test facility in France to select the perfect tyre for the Tourbillon hypercar

With its 8.3-litre V16 paired with three electric motors, the Bugatti Tourbillon produces 1,800 horsepower. This equates to a 0 to 100 km/h (0–62 mph) time of under 2 seconds and a top speed of 445 km/h (276 mph), which makes tyre development critical, and difficult. Here’s the story of how Bugatti and Michelin tackled the challenge
