With a fully charged battery, the car will be able to travel about 37 miles on purely electric power before the gas engine needs to turn on

However, the driver will have the option to run the gas engine continuously, if they wish, the firm said

The Tourbillon has only a small screen for digital indicators, which will only come out and become visible when the driver requests it

The speedometer, rev counter and other indicators are placed just behind the steering wheel in a system in "titanium, sapphire and rubies"
