Bugatti is so pleased with the development of its powerhouse V16 it wants the general public to enjoy the creation of the engine too.

The automaker released a video dedicated to the creation of the engine.

The nearly six-minute-long video is Episode 7 in the company’s “A New Era” docuseries.

The naturally aspirated 8.3-litre V16 engine produces 1,000 European horses, which is 986 hp by North American standards.

The engine, combined with three electric motors, working together as part of a hybrid powertrain will produce 1,775 hp (1,800 European hp) in the Bugatti Tourbillon hypercar.

“The dream finally came true. The naturally aspirated V16 is one of the largest engines ever created, measuring nearly a metre in length,” said Bugatti Rimac chief technical officer Emilio Scervo in a news release.

“Just imagine the size of the crankshaft inside – it’s massive. This engine is a truly unique achievement, embodying Bugatti’s incomparable vision and relentless drive to push boundaries and achieve the unimaginable.
