This beast of a car, boasting a hybrid powertrain with a staggering 1800 horsepower, was unveiled just days ago and has already taken the automotive world by storm.

Bugatti's Tourbillon, with its striking design and V16 hybrid engine, is the epitome of ultra-luxurious, ultra-fast, and ultra-expensive. Among the team responsible for its exquisite exterior was Pawłowicz, who works at the Krakow University of Technology.

Pawłowicz was part of a 30-person team tasked with the car's exterior design. At Bugatti, he holds the title of Digital Design Modeler, focusing on the car's bodywork around the engine area. His role at Bugatti represents a significant leap from his usual duties as a faculty member at the Mechanical Engineering Department of Krakow University of Technology.

"I received the job offer from Bugatti while I was still at the university. It was an exceptional opportunity for professional and academic growth," Pawłowicz said.

Bugatti plans to produce only 250 units of the Tourbillon, each handcrafted at their Molsheim facility. The price tag? A cool EUR 3.8 million (USD 4 million) before taxes. The first cars are expected to be delivered in 2026.
