Following its triumph at the Chantilly Arts & Elegance Richard Mille, where it secured the prestigious public prize and captivated European audiences, the Tourbillon made a stunning debut in Doha. In a city celebrated for harmonising modern luxury with rich Eastern traditions, Bugatti’s latest hyper sports car mesmerised the Qatari capital over the course of a week, offering a remarkable display of elegance and cutting-edge innovation.
Set against the backdrop of the iconic Al Hikman Courtyard in Katara Cultural Village, where tradition meets modernity, select guests and media were treated to an exclusive viewing of Bugatti’s newest masterpiece. Surrounded by the striking architecture of central Doha, the Tourbillon exuded sophistication. The event not only showcased the car’s breathtaking design but also highlighted Bugatti’s bold, visionary approach—timeless, yet ahead of its era, embodying the peak of automotive excellence.
During its time in Qatar, the Tourbillon made a notable stop at the vibrant Mina District in Doha Port, a testament to the city’s importance in the Middle East. With architecture reflecting the timeless beauty of the sea, the port mirrors the essence of the Tourbillon. The connection between Bugatti’s masterful design and the port’s aesthetic creates a captivating visual experience, highlighting the brand’s commitment to blending heritage with innovation in every new vehicle.
Inspired by three legendary Bugatti models – the Type 57SC Atlantic, hailed as the world’s most beautiful car; the Type 35, the most successful race car ever; and the Type 41 Royale, a symbol of unmatched luxury – the Tourbillon pays homage to 115 years of Bugatti history. Signature design elements, from the iconic horseshoe grille and Bugatti Line to the central ridge and dual-color split, are echoed in the 2025 hyper sports car.
