Bugatti Tourbillion’s secret compartment hides the “Velocity Key”


The Bugatti Veyron and Chiron famously got here with a “Velocity Key” to unlock the hypercar’s prime pace. Equally, the brand new Bugatti Tourbillon can also be supplied with a particular key that is hidden in a “secret compartment”.
On the Veyron and Chiron, the slot for this particular key was situated between the motive force’s seat and the door sill. On Tourbillon, it has been moved to a extra ergonomic location on the centre console. Nevertheless, it stays hidden till you pop open the quilt.
The tiny compartment blends seamlessly with the C-Line that runs alongside the centre of the cabin. It has a cut up cowl, which reveals a cubby lined in Alcantara that’s about an inch deep. Inside, you discover the “Velocity Key”, a Bugatti macaron badge and the slot to unlock the total potential of the V16-powered hypercar.
The naturally aspirated 8.3-liter V16 hybrid powertrain delivers 1800 hp. The engine is paired with an 8-speed dual-clutch computerized transmission, which permits the automobile to speed up from 0-62 mph in simply 2.0 seconds. With the particular key in place, the Tourbillon can attain a prime pace of 276 mph.
