Is Rimac Planning A Four-Door Bugatti?
Bugatti recently announced its latest hypercar, the Tourbillon
Bugatti was allegedly working on a 4-door EV before Mate's takeover as CEO
During the presentation of the Tourbillon, Mate Rimac talked about a 4-door EV
Meaning, there's still a chance of a 4-door Bugatti after multiple failures to launch one in the past
The EB 112 concept from 1993 was the first Bugatti 4-door vehicle under Romano Artioli, an Italian entrepreneur
Later in 1999, Bugatti, under VW Group's ownership debuted the EB 218, a W18-powered 4-door sedan
Bugatti made another attempt at the 4-door luxury sedan market with the 16 C Galibier in 2009
The 16 C Galibier was destined to launch by 2013, but sadly had to give way to the Veyron' successor, the Chiron
With the Tourbillon out of the way, it will be easier for Bugatti to source EV-related parts from Rimac, and there's still a chance for a 4-door high-performance electric vehicle

Analog Aficionado? Porsche's Digital Surprise Goes Way Back (Can You Guess the Car?)
If you think the Taycan EV was the first Porsche to feature an all-digital dash, think again
Porsche recently debuted the 992.2 911 Carrera and GTS models for 2025
This latest 911 ditches traditional gauges for a 12.65-inch curved digital-screen
The 911 takes inspiration from the 16.8-inch panel on the Taycan
While a screen is more configurable, it simply doesn't offer the drama of an analog rev-counter
Clearly the case on the pre-facelift model which has a physical tachometer flanked by two 7.0-inch panels
Analog fans will surely miss the traditional 5-gauge setup found on older 911s
Having said that, Porsche dabbled with the idea of a digital instrument cluster two decades ago
The Carrera GT concept from 2000 featured a flat LCD panel about 8.0-10 inches across
Although the final production variant did feature traditional analog gauges
We wonder, could Porsche have not retained some physical element, like the moving rev counter on the Lexus LFA?
