Engineering Explained casts doubts on the Bugatti Tourbillon and provides a numerical breakdown of the likelihood that the V16-powered hybrid powertrain cannot achieve its claimed top speed of 500 kph.
The YouTuber cites aerodynamic inefficiency and the diminishing power drain from the battery pack as the primary reasons why the Bugatti Tourbillon may not reach its designated maximum speed.
