Compare the2026 Ferrari 296VS 2026 Bugatti Tourbillon

The 296 has standard front seat side-impact airbags, which act as a forgiving barrier between the passengers and the door. Combined with high-strength steel door beams this system increases protection from broadside collisions. The Tourbillon doesn't offer side-impact airbags.

The 296 offers optional Automatic Emergency Braking, which use forward mounted sensors to warn the driver of a possible collision ahead. If the driver doesn’t react and the system determines a collision is imminent, it automatically applies the brakes at full-force in order to reduce the force of the crash or avoid it altogether. The Tourbillon doesn't offer collision warning or crash mitigation brakes.

The 296’s lane departure warning system alerts a temporarily inattentive driver when the vehicle begins to leave its lane. The Tourbillon doesn’t offer a lane departure warning system.

The 296 offers an optional Surround View to allow the driver to see objects all around the vehicle on a screen. The Tourbillon only offers a rear monitor and front and rear parking sensors that beep or flash a light. That doesn’t help with obstacles to the sides.

To help make backing out of a parking space safer, the 296’s optional rear cross-path warning system uses sensors in the rear to alert the driver to vehicles approaching from the side, helping the driver avoid collisions. The Tourbillon doesn’t offer a rear cross-path warning system.

Both the 296 and the Tourbillon have standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, front seatbelt pretensioners, four-wheel antilock brakes, traction control, electronic stability systems to prevent skidding, rearview cameras and available blind spot warning systems.

Ferrari pays for scheduled maintenance on the 296 for 3 years and unlimited miles longer than Bugatti pays for maintenance for the Tourbillon (7/unlimited vs. 4/unlimited).

Changing a flat tire near traffic can be dangerous and inconvenient. The run-flat tires optional on the 296 can be driven up to 50 miles without any air pressure, allowing you to drive to a service station for a repair. The Tourbillon doesn’t offer run-flat tires.

The Ferrari 296 may be more efficient, handle and accelerate better because it weighs about 1000 to 1300 pounds less than the Bugatti Tourbillon.

The 296 is 4.2 inches shorter than the Tourbillon, making the 296 easier to handle, maneuver and park in tight spaces.

The 296’s standard power retractable hardtop allows a seamless transition from an open car, to a completely sealed coupe. The Tourbillon doesn’t offer a retractable hardtop.

The 296 has a standard heads-up display that projects speed and tachometer readouts in front of the driver’s line of sight, allowing drivers to view information without diverting their eyes from the road. The Tourbillon doesn’t offer a heads-up display.

The 296’s standard dual zone air conditioning allows the driver and front passenger to choose two completely different temperatures so people with different temperature preferences won’t have to compromise. This makes both the driver and front passenger as comfortable as possible. The Tourbillon doesn’t offer dual zone air conditioning.

To keep a safe, consistent following distance, the 296 offers an optional Adaptive CruiseControl, which alters the speed of the vehicle without driver intervention. This allows the driver to use cruise control more safely without constantly having to disengage it when approaching slower traffic. The Tourbillon doesn’t offer an adaptive cruise control.

With standard voice command, the 296 offers the driver hands free control of the radio and the navigation computer by simply speaking. The Tourbillon doesn’t offer a voice control system.

The 296 is equipped with both FM and AM stereo radios, offering access too more content and better coverage than the Tourbillon, which solely provides FM radio. With AM radio, you can enjoy a wider variety of stations featuring news, talk shows, sports commentary, native language programing, automated traffic guidance, and emergency broadcasts. AM waves travel further and penetrate buildings and obstacles more effectively than FM signals, especially at night. Having both FM and AM stereo radios the 296 offers a more comprehensive listening experience compared to only FM in the Tourbillon.

HD Radio boasts several benefits over conventional radio: superior sound quality with clearer and consistent FM broadcasts, CD-quality audio, and Multicast Channels offering up to four streams from a single station, adding programming choices. Cars like the 296 equipped with HD Radio provide an improved in-car entertainment experience. The Tourbillon, devoid of this technology, foregoes these benefits. Selecting the Ferrari 296 empowers drivers to enjoy a more immersive and enjoyable listening experience while on the go.

The Ferrari 296 comes in coupe and convertible bodystyles; the Bugatti Tourbillon isn’t available as a convertible.
