Answers: How does Bugatti's new V16 engine work?

• Bugatti V16 engine
• Turbocharger configuration
• Engine firing order
• Crossplane V8 crankshaft
• Hybrid powertrain design

What it concludes

• Bugatti's new V16 engine utilizes a 90-degree V-angle configured as two crossplane V8s sharing a common crankshaft.
• The Chiron's sequential turbocharging system uses 69 percent larger turbochargers than the Veyron, running all eight cylinders into one turbo at low RPM and adding a second turbo per bank at higher RPM to widen the torque curve.
• The Bugatti V16's firing order alternates between outer and inner cylinders in a mirrored pattern to balance the crossplane V8 architecture.
• The powertrain setup features two electric motors in the front and one in the back paired with the V16 engine, delivering a combined peak output of around 1,800 horsepower.
