- Bugatti has officially sold out the Bolide and Tourbillon, with deliveries booked through 2029.
- The Tourbillon’s 250-unit cap has been exceeded, with at least 60 customers stuck on a waitlist.
- Bugatti demand is stronger than ever, echoing past sellouts projected only to 2025.
Let’s say that 2025 has already been your year. Earnings are ridiculous and you’re thinking of getting a shiny new supercar to make sure everyone knows it. Be sure to skip sending an email to your local Bugatti representative, though, because it’s a waste of time. According to a new report, the brand is fully sold out until 2029.
That’s right, there will be a new president in the US before people who put in a Bugatti order tomorrow will actually get it. No, the brand isn’t struggling to keep the doors open and the production line flowing; instead, it’s quite the opposite. Bugatti will only make 250 units of the new V16 Tourbillon. According to a new report, it could add a lot of production capacity and still sell out.

Speaking to CarBuzz at Monterey Car Week, Director of Design Frank Heyl says that it’ll be busy building allocated cars until 2029. “So, building 250 Tourbillons. Now delivering the finalist trials. The final Bolide…[all that] is going to keep us busy with our capacities until 2029 and sold out until 2029. If you have this [financial stability] as a business owner, it works out very solid. Then you know, you can plan ahead. It’s all set,” he noted.
In fact, it has so many interested parties that if 59 people dropped out, it would still be sold out, according to Bloomberg. “I want to make Bugatti into the most successful, most profitable car company in the world,” said Mate Rimac. No doubt, having that many prospective customers, and extremely well-off at that, even at these uncertain times, is proof, if any was needed, that the historic French brand is shining brighter than ever.
That’s in stark contrast to the majority of other automakers who are trying to figure out tariffs, product lineups, and just how electrified their future should be. It’s noteworthy that Bugatti is just playing it as old-school as one could in a world full of underwhelming low-production hybrid supercars and wildly impressive everyday supercars that cost way less.
