  1. 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.

  2. Jasons whiteboard render looks much more alluring than the Mana Mana muppet nose on the new turbeenone from Volkswagen, they should have contracted Frank Stevenson….. and done a one man designer exterior

  3. Have you considered the top speed potential if they only used the combustion engine until 400 km/h and then started applying the electric power gradually rather than 100%? What if they used 50% electric power from 400 km/h until X and then went 100%, wouldn’t the power available by the end be more than 72% since the battery is used at full throttle for less time? 16:45

  4. Nice video and explanations. Hybrid/EV supercar speed records feel like Virgin's space mission, just reaching the max speed without any chance to keep the car at that speed for any prolonged period.

  5. Man, people will never understand the true effort and the standard that every component in that car is upheld to and what's expected. We manufacture the engine valve springs and the attention to detail that's required was a new challenge for sure.

  6. Looking at the tachometer footage, I saw that the output of the electric motors starts dropping to zero as the car hits 444km/h, then goes up to 445km/h before it decelerates. IMO this suggests that the car needs only 1000bhp to maintain 445km/h, the top speed the car is limited to i.e. either the frontal area or the drag coefficient is lower than the figures suggested here.

  7. From watching the video and the comments, either way, I’m sure the Tourbuillon will reach 500 one way or another. If not the stock version, then a special version just like the Chiron. It seems like 1800hp is a close spec bump away, and you pointed out an engine cover revision would get the drag down. if there will be a Tourbuillon 500+ edition then I wholly expect that to happen.

    Stock seems like it will get to 300 just fine though lol. Probably what they were going for tbf.

  8. I also think it cant reach 500 kmh. If it could reach 300 mph so around 480 kmh it would be a success. Unless they use some new breakthrough battery technology which allows the electric motors to give full power at longer period of time.

  9. Massive kudos for the EV-calculations. 24C is indeed super mega heavy! My Nissan Leaf does around 3. (80kw / 24kwh) And at rates this high, every percent of inefficiency turns the battery into a self-blast-furnace.
    Maybe they will arrive at more top-speed by putting a sapphire glass cover on the engine for another – oh? – 100`000 bucks to improve the aero.

  10. I think Bugatti might be getting away from ultimate top speed as a selling point. there is so much more to this car than that. out of the 250 produced, likely only a handful, maybe even fewer than 2-5 will ever attempt anything even over 200mph. Any top speed run will be with a factory car under excruciatingly well controlled circumstances…

  11. Come on, tell us how quick the EV part will run out of puff during some spirited driving and how long before it heats up and limits the power? 5 minutes, 10 minutes? I say this new design and engine sound are wank. It won't be long before someone twists that 1 metre long crank shaft…
