Bugatti's Giant V16 Engine Is Insane - All The Tourbillon Details!

[@MateRimacAuto]

Hey Jason, love your videos. You’ve done a good job here. But just one little thing you have missed here. The Nevera does NOT drop in power because of battery derating nor is it overheating. If I remember correctly, it might have reached 35 °C in that run, which is very far from the maximum temperature. The power drops because the motors are reaching their maximum speed due to the transmission ratio. As you well know, with single speed gearboxes like in Nevera, there is a trade off between acceleration and top speed. We figured that 412 km/h was plenty and did not want to compromise on acceleration. So basically, the battery could deliver 1.4 MW for a lot longer if the powertrain could take it (longer ratio). The drop in power is due to the motor power curves which drop off at the end of the RPM range and the car reaching its equilibrium speed at max RPM. As for the Tourbillon top speed - as you said… Let’s see 🤓 Would love to geek out on some other stuff you’re talking about here.

[@EngineeringExplained]

**Important Note!** If you made it to the end, it's important to understand that the ~68% (or ~72%) discharge rate is absolute not a rule of thumb, just a fun guestimation. Every battery is unique, and will have its own unique characteristics. Also, looking at Rimac's latest high speed run, they achieved 412 km/h with *much* higher power after prolonged acceleration (the car was delivering 1225 kW at 412 km/h, or 87% of the peak 1408 kW). Porsche's T-Hybrid battery is also rated for "continuous" power at 41 kW, versus a peak of 48 kW - that's roughly 85%. So perhaps 70% is a low estimate, though it is accurate for the context of the original Rimac top speed run, and we don't have many of these data points (because top speed runs are a challenging thing to put together). Just some added context! Will be interesting to see some real world tests with the Tourbillon. Thanks for watching everyone!!

[@al6313]

I'm pretty sure the E-Motors at the front axels are not able to exceed max. speed. Do they have a clutch to disconnect them? At some point it's rear wheel drive only. Also the other E-Motors don't have max power at max. speed. I like your calculation but its very theoretical.

[@josemorenoporras7506]

with a good intake plenum,could the NA engine make more than 1000 HP at high speed? Maybe I´m wrong,but some motorbikes had than ram air box to make more power at top speed. What do you think?

Btw Andy Wallace (Bugatti test driver) said that during the Top speed run for Chiron 300+ when they reached 490kmph, the car was still pulling, they simply ran out of space to push the car to its limit. So the power required as mentioned here can essentially be lower i.e. 1800 HP can do the job.

[@L0p3s]

Right, but this new Bugatti has a totally different PU. I knew that about Andy Wallace, but if you watch this entire video you understand why getting to 500kph is very difficult. If it was 1800hp in the Chiron SS 300+ with the turbo W16 it would easily get to 500kph. The EV component is the problem here with the Tourbillon. And the EV component is 44% of the total power output.

[@SidRay1760]

You're absolutely right. But when Bugatti decided to build this tourbillion, I think they went through all these datas and were very much aware of these technical factors and challenges.

[@NadeemAhmed-nv2br]

​@@L0p3sit is lower and has a smaller frontal area so even with the same CD, it should require less hp to hit the same speed. If a 1600hp car hit 490, I see no reason why this couldn't seeing that info on the latest rimac never hits 87% vs OP'S calculated 68%, this car isn't out and newer than that, even if it hit Porsche 85%, it'll still hit 1680hp or if it matches or surpasses it, we are looking at 1700hp which with the stuff said at the start of this = 500 kph

[@L0p3s]

@@SidRay1760 off course, they’re the opposite of idiots. But given the limitations of a PHEV with a 44% EV power component it is not as easy as pure 100% ICE turbo that is only limited by the capacity of the fuel tank. I have no doubts they can achieve the 500, but taking into account the type of PU I’m particularity curious as how are they going to achieve that! Cheers.

[@L0p3s]

@@NadeemAhmed-nv2br maybe, but I find the EV part a great challenge nevertheless. Yes, it is lower and a as less FA, but a turbo ICE is more straightforward. But let’s wait and see. They are probably going to wait for a special edition that makes 500 and are holding back because of that. This is a husiness after all and we had the Veyron SS with 200 extra hp in the past and the Chiron SS 300+ with lots of modifications to achieve the 490kph and surpass 300mph.

[@desertsandfly2277]

4:14 I never even thought of this. The car is RWD in the ICE only mode. So we could potentially see some people do donuts and slides in the Bugatti Tourbillion. And with a high revving V16, it's definitely going to be banging off the redline like crazy.

[@Doctorbasss]

Mate said that the Tourbillon battery has Imersion cooling. Which mean it has the best cooling method technology at the moment. These new dielectric liquid are ultra performant. So holding 25C discharge rate is not a problem and sustained power is also improved even at the end of discharge SOC curve. The new cells they are using are ultra performant ultra low Internal resistance. Also One of the reason you see the power is decreasing on the Nevera is because the BEMF of the motor is getting close to the battery voltage so it become more and more difficult to continu pushing phase current to the motor( which is related to torque) as the difference of both( or the potential difference) is narrowing. The use of Field weakining generation to conteract that is not efficient so more and more heat is generated.

[@julesbilodeau4851]

For an engineering guy, I think you went over what a tourbillon is kinda quickly (aka not at all). In a mechanical watch, the accuracy of the watch will be affected by a wheel going back and forth to tick the movement, powered by a spring (this is called the balance wheel). The thing is, the rhythm of that wheel will be affected by its orientation (depending on the position of your arm wearing the watch). A tourbillon is a very complex mechanism found on very high end watches that will constantly spin the balance wheel, therefore equalizing the variances created by the position of your arm. Bugatti see themselves as the very best of car engineering and a tourbillon is pretty much the very best of mechanical watch engineering. The pinnacle measure of a car performance is speed and Bugatti has loads of that. The pinnacle measure of a watch performance is accuracy a tourbillon gives you that.

[@benshiotsu8553]

Yeah in a pocketwatch. In a wristwatch, it sits mostly horizontal rendering the effects of gravity mute. Tourbillons are just overcomplex hype. They were invented for pocketwatches and are unnecessary for even the most precise watch.

[@Heidelaffe]

@@benshiotsu8553They are a very neat solution for a problem which is solved easily by any digital watch. It is more a declaration of capability, than a real solution.

[@TotesCray]

And furthermore, with dismissing mechanical watches out of hand. Yes, some of them are incredibly overpriced luxury goods, however, they are still absolute engineering marvels. Highly complicated mechanical watches do things with gears that might be "easily done with software" but to do it in hardware, in something small enough to fit on your wrist, is one of the peaks of engineering prowess IMO. Also, they don't have to be $500,000, or $50,000, or $5,000, or even $500. I don't enjoy mechanical watches as a way to tell time so much as a way to appreciate the incredible engineering that goes into making them work.

[@benshiotsu8553]

@Heidelaffe Even a mechanical wristwatch needs no tourbillon.

[@chuckschillingvideos]

It's a whole lot easier, cheaper and more accurate to have a watchmaker adjust the timing of the watch then to implement tourbillon complications. Easier/cheaper still to just buy pretty much any quartz watch or smartwatch. Tourbillons exist not because they work especially well; they exist because they are hideously complicated and expensive and that's why idiots that buy ridiculous watches like Richard Mille and Jacob products buy them. Because what good is wealth that you can't rub peoples' noses in?

[@swordmonkey6635]

In an interview about the Tourbillon, Bugatti test driver Andy Wallace said that during his record breaking run with the Chiron SS, that the car was still pulling at 304 mph and the length of the track straight kept him from being about to gas it. He had to begin slowing down to cover the sweeping corner of the track and had to guess where the deceleration zone was since nobody else had ever driven that fast at the Ehra-Lessien track before.... so even the Chiron SS was capable of more than 304 mph.

It appears to me that keeping the car "Naturally Aspirated" was Mate's main idea when building the "Ultimate Bugatti". After all, the clock and the other gauges are supposedly analogue like the engine is in relative terms. Means no turbos or supercharger. So, a 25 kw hr battery is ok because it reduces cO2 in urban areas. This is why ( I think) The Tourbillion won't be hitting 500km per hr. in speed unless he bends some of his own rules.

Damaging in cities are unburned hydrocarbons and monoxide, plus rogue extras from fuel impurity (sulfers, etc), oil from lubrication, etc. The CO2 levels in the atmosphere were 10-20 times as much in the jurassic age. The world was very lush, green. It took millions of years for climate change to actually become a problem, through a big celestial impact. Climatologists say that their science s settled, which is the most unscientific thing one can ever say, let alone about one's own work. Geologists, astronomers, biologists, archaeologists, ethnologists, none can find a place and time of stable climate. It's changing right now on other planets. Greenhouse farmers buy CO2 to release in enclosures. To feed you and more people at a minimum cost. It's fine to walk inside, we can handle some extra CO2.

I've seen a video of a P1 and his battery pack is made of A123 system LiFePo4 cells. Those cells give a very high discharge rate until they are almost depleted. The density is lower, but the power density is also lower. They are safer and the discharge current is way greater than Li-Ion. It's a good cell type if you want performance. The Rimac needs a lot of power density to have good range, so it might use "regular" Li-Ion.

​@@EngineeringExplained Haha. but seriously, your videos are twice as engaging and with slightly less gimmicks employed. Thanks for all this content!

[@juancuelloespinosa]

1:14 ok, jason clearly has an assistant, because that bugatti outline looks too good

[@PrzemyslawSliwinski]

5:00 - There was a premiere of M5 today. You don't have to mention "relatively" anymore.

[@EngineeringExplained]

My goodness, thing's a tank!

[@mrburgermaster]

That thing is a smear on the M5 nameplate. Worse in every performance metric except for fuel economy. (I haven't seen results for braking or cornering, but I'm still certain you can't beat physics, when your car is half a metric tonne heavier).

[@Cloxxki]

Only 2435 kg. Only 270 kg more than a Tesla Plaid same size full BEV with greater virtue signalling points.

[@PrzemyslawSliwinski]

@@Cloxxki True, but I am actually glad there are so many people who voluntarily pay extra for R&D so I don't have to...

[@shouldigetit]

Fantastic intro Jason! Great analogy to watches

[@ajfreshkid]

One thing I noticed watching the Bugatti tach sim at 7:45 is as it's approaching that limited top speed, you can see the electric motor out put on the right most gauge, the smaller hand of the dial hovers between about 750-800 hp and only stays maxed out for a few seconds before drastically dropping to zero. What's more interesting is that it does this before the v16 lets of the throttle so maybe the speed limit is only applied as a restriction on the duration the e motor gets full power? We didn't see the graduation e motor output degradation like the Nevera, just a sharp drop so it definitely has a few more kph in the tank 🤔

Dont forget it is a CGI video (claimed by Mate in the KZbin Premiere)

[@RifazNahiyanFWS]

So glad that you shared this with us. Love bro.

[@eliasloscher6060]

One thing I am curious about: To reach a Top Speed of >500 km/h, besides the power delivery, you would need special tires for it, dont you? I know the SS Chiron had specially developed michelin tires (i think) but they were crafted for speeds up until 500 km/h if I remember that right. A video explaining what specifications a tire has to have to be able to support speeds over 500 (if its possible) would be really interesting!

[@sickomode6440]

Actually I saw a video from Insider Cars saying that the Michelin tires used in the Chiron SS were able to sustain speeds up to 318mph.

[@yojoa-vn5ph]

Yeah great idea !

[@chiboyife5456]

Am not so good at maths nd physics but I just enjoy watching ur Analysis

CO2 restrictions really are for the poor people.

[@Loanshark753]

Maybe every person should get a certain amount of carbon credits then the rich need to buy them from those who have an excess.

[@Jason_Quinn]

This car will do fewer than 10,000 miles in its lifetime.

[@dkdanis1340]

It's emissions compliant.

[@FreedomAndLibertyGuy]

But it’s a hybrid! Haha

[@rodneyfriend7163]

Hi Jason. I’ve followed your videos for a long time and as an amateur physicist (tertiary level physics but unfortunately not hard wired for it like you and the best physicists are) I love the clarity you bring to your explanations of how physics applies to motoring technology, in particular, engines. As a baby boomer I don’t think I will ever fully embrace electric only technology so I hope that some form of ICE continues into the future, but not optimistic (just to be clear, I’m a climate change believer!). Please keep these wonderful videos coming as they perfectly complement other videos that give us mere mortals a chance to experience some amazing cars.

[@Iwaitandwait]

Finally, a good video to eat my lunch with.

[@shoobadoo123]

8:04 Mate talking dirty to us 😂

[@K113-A]

What's crazy is, whatever top speed the car could do without restrictions... It still carries luxurious items in the interior, like that glass aluminum center console

[@ItsWillLee]

@EngineeringExplained FYI: the man himself @MateRimacAuto is in your chat and he would like to have a word with you lol ...No seriously, he commented about your video! PS. Love your explanations, I remember a video of yours explaining Subaru's different AWD systems.. yeah, way back then lol very informative.

[@Kirisame312]

When more info is available, the new Konigsegg Jesko Attack would make for a great video. The specs on it are INSANE. 1600 HP, up to 1400 kg of downforce, for a start...

[@Cpm_legit54]

Thanks for Watch-ing😂🎉

[@daeladub]

I felt like the jump to digital gauges was a bit premature. But Bugatti has just shown us analog gauges can still be done and with class. Yes it's a hybrid but it can go all N/A. Phucking cool from front to back.

[@dylanchapgier9504]

The sound jason makes after the guy from Rimac says “Bugatti is about pushing limits.” is why I watch his vids.

[@thewhitecarrot]

Casio = Corolla Rolex = Tourbillon

[@blagovukovicbarbieri2046]

As i read somewhere they said first three gears 100% electric power, fourth and fifth 70% and in sixt 0%, it hits 445km/h in sixt but without speed key it is limited at 380km/h

[@LarsAgerbk]

I don't have the mechanical understanding to get a 100% of this video. I still watched it to the end and enjoyed every minute of it.

[@danielkool5752]

Big smile at your last second of the video, Great job

[@videomaniac108]

Carrol Shelby had the best explanation as to why one would want a high horsepower street car. When asked by an interviewer if he thought that his high-power street Mustangs were too powerful he said: "too much horsepower is just about the right amount to have". I totally subscribe to his point of view.

[@dobbygfred8452]

Love the explanation Jason. Hope you get to drive one to see how it feels.

[@ristekostadinov2820]

4:29 we reached the point when someone says "decently quick" for a 800hp motor 🤣. But jokes aside, AWD plugin hybrid makes sense to be lighter than the Chiron simply because you can make the battery structural component of the body, you're removing lot of weight by getting rid of 4 turbos and tubing and intercoolers and the ICE AWD components (they're replaced by only software telling the motors what to do).

[@myronalcock4716]

Thanks Jason, I was intrigued by this and you are the guy to explain it! Edit : We agree 111% on watches 🤣

[@jesseturner9865]

I loved their PR for the Chiron. "We need someone to make special tires to go 300+ mph." Hard flex. I am sure they will find a way with the Tourbillion.

[@chuckschillingvideos]

It isn't just going to 300mph that's an issue - it's finding tires that can go 300 mph for more than a couple minutes or so without requiring replacement. Oh, and on public roads, which aren't glass smooth and have all kinds of debris on them.

[@Tippotipo]

@@chuckschillingvideos Such tires already exists on Chiron SS 300+ as they are x-rays for minimal imperfections. Having debris on road while running above 280 mph is asking for trouble as a single perforation from such debris in the tire can be catastrophic. Those are new overlooked factors to take account. Michelin is currently the only manufacturer to do extreme tires thanks to their experience with Bugatti for over twenty years.

[@jo8512-y1e]

We have to take into consideration that 1000 HP is the maximal power that the V16-engine puts out at a certain rpm. As long as the engine is not spinning at that exact rpm the power output is less. It depends on the gearing if the car is then still able to reach speeds close to 500 km/h. Still, I enjoyed following your calculations a lot! 👍

[@dana5865]

The point of using v16 tech is not the engine itself. It can be possible thanks to Rimac's proper packaging of the electric power and battery plus aero elements. Even turbo tech can't be used from the inception because this also pushes the weight distribution worse since those turbos should be situated around the engine. It uses the most promising floor and diffuser designs. They will put some active adjustable elements to reduce the fluctuation of the downforce to compensate for the road condition esp at high speed.

[@kristjanveski]

Totally agree about watches, and about this engine. This is such an exciting car, makes me giddy like I was as a kid looking at the concepts in auto mags. The combination of purist performance and technology is perfect. I also doubt it will hit 500, but we know there will be a Super Sport..
