A Statement of Intent

Bugatti unveiled the Tourbillon in June 2024 to mark the brand's 110th anniversary and its merger with Rimac. Where the Chiron doubled down on the W16 turbocharged formula of the Veyron, the Tourbillon throws it out: naturally aspirated V16, hybrid drivetrain, mechanical analog dashboard with literal jewel-movement gauges. In our FH6 entry it's logged as a 2026 AWD Class X Hypercar tagged V16 and hybrid. The status is "speculated" because no official confirmation has dropped yet — but Bugatti's Forza partnership has put every flagship into the franchise since the Veyron in FM3.

How to Unlock the Tourbillon in FH6

Premium / Pre-order Edition (Highly Likely)

FH5 launched with the 2017 Bugatti Chiron as a Premium Edition exclusive, given immediately to anyone who pre-ordered the Premium tier. Expect Playground Games to use the same playbook for Tourbillon: pre-order the FH6 Premium Add-Ons Bundle or the Premium Edition at launch, and you'll likely get a "Tourbillon Premium Edition" delivered to your garage day-one with a unique livery.

Autoshow Purchase

If not pre-order locked, expect Autoshow availability around 2.5 million CR — in line with FH5's Chiron pricing. Player Level 20+ gate is likely, since FH6 typically gates 2M+ CR cars behind early progression.

Festival Playlist

If the Tourbillon arrives via Premium Edition first, expect a "Tourbillon Forza Edition" as a 80-point Festival Playlist reward roughly 6 months after launch — Playground's standard pattern for hypercar headliners.

Auction House

If the Tourbillon enters the catalog as a non-FE Autoshow car, AH prices will likely sit between 2.5–4M CR for the first month before stabilizing. Skip the AH and go Autoshow.

Real-World Background

The Tourbillon was developed under Bugatti-Rimac, the joint venture formed when Mate Rimac took over Bugatti's product direction. The 8.3-liter V16 was designed in cooperation with Cosworth — naturally aspirated, redlining at 9,000 rpm, producing approximately 1,000 hp on its own. Three electric motors (one per front wheel, one integrated into the rear transmission) add another 800 hp, for a combined 1,800 hp. Top speed is gated at 380 km/h in normal mode, 445 km/h with the Speed Key. Bugatti has confirmed a production run of 250 cars at approximately EUR 3.8 million base price. The "Tourbillon" name refers to the watchmaking complication and shows up literally — the dashboard is a mechanical sculpture by Decalonne, with no LCD.

In-Game Performance

Stock the dataset places the Tourbillon at Class X with AWD. Based on the Chiron's FH5 baseline (~957 PI) and the Tourbillon's higher peak power, expect a starting PI of around 985–999. Acceleration: 0–100 km/h in roughly 2.0 seconds, top speed near 380 km/h stock. The hybrid AWD drivetrain in Forza terms means cooler turbo gauge (it's not turbocharged) and better off-line traction than the Chiron. Tuning headroom is tight — most tunes will adjust gearing for top speed runs and stiffen rear damping for stability above 400 km/h. Expect community top-speed tunes to push 480 km/h+ on flat stretches.

Best Events to Run It In

The Tourbillon is built for autobahn-style runs, not technical sections. Best venues:

  • Goliath — long straights and sweeping curves play to the V16's torque curve.
  • Cross-country highway sprints on the Japan map's expressway segments.
  • Top-Speed Trials in EventLab — community circuits set up for 0–400 km/h timed runs.
  • Hypercar showcase races against other 2025+ hypercars (Jesko Absolut, F80, Valkyrie).

Avoid touge — at touge events the Tourbillon's mass works against you, and AWD-tuned R34s will out-handle it on tight passes.

Alternatives if You Can't Get It

Three substitutes from the FH6 catalog hit similar marks: the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport (W16 instead of V16, similar power, almost certainly Autoshow-buyable), the Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut (top-speed-focused RWD alternative), and the Aston Martin Valkyrie (different focus — track over straight-line — but same X-class tier).
