Porsche recently unveiled the 992.2 911 generation for the 2025 Model year

This is the first-ever production 911 to feature hybrid-tech

But tech YouTuber MKBHD, a.k.a Marques Brownlee is not a fan for a few reasons

He bought a 992.1 911 Turbo S for his 30th Birthday

He swapped out his previous daily driver, the Model S Plaid for the 911 Turbo S

In the six months that he has owned it, MKBHD has already covered over 8,000 miles

He continues to rate it highly and says its his new bench mark for gas-powered sports cars

However, he's not a fan of two things that Porsche has done with the 992.2 facelift

The first is ditching the old twist-and-go style starter for a generic button from the VW parts bin 😒

The second is going with an all-digital driver display, which tries hard to replicate the 911's iconic five-tube instrument cluster 👎

According to Maruqes, no one even really complained about the analog-digital setup on the previous 992.1

One Pedal Driving Is An EV Feature Where You Can Use Just The Gas Pedal To Both Accelerate And Slow Down

EV Drivetrains Utilize Regenerative Braking To Convert Kinetic Energy To Charge Their Batteries

The Brake Pedal Is Only Used For Emergency Braking. It Also Reduces Driving Fatigue In Stop And Go Traffic

Advantages Of One-Pedal Driving - Increased Driving Range

Another Advantage Is Lesser Wear And Tear Of Friction Brakes

Porsche Does Not Offer One Pedal Driving In Its EV Models

Porsche Claims That One Pedal Is Inefficient And Coasting Is Actually Better

However, Past The Coasting Phase, The Taycan Does Employ A Groundbreaking Regenerative Braking System

It Prioritizes Electric Motors For Braking, Minimizing Wear On The Brakes During Daily Driving

Algorithms Analyze Braking System Data To Seamlessly Blend In Traditional Brakes For Smooth Stopping

Both the Bugatti Tourbillon and the Lamborghini Revuelto are plug-in hybrid hypercars under the VW umbrella

The Tourbillon packs an 8.3-liter naturally aspirated V16 and with the help of 3 e-motors, the Tourbillon pushes out 1,775 hp

The Revuelto features a 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V12, coupled with 3 e-motors, pushing out 1,001 hp combined

The Tourbillon has a larger 25 kWh battery pack which is estimated to drive 37 miles in EV mode

The Revuelto packs a pretty compact 3.8 kWh battery pack and will offer about 5-7 miles on EV range

The Tourbillon is expected to sprint to 60 mph from a standstill in 2.0 seconds and can reach a top speed of 276 mph

The Lamborghini Revuelto can reach 60 mph in a mere 2.3 seconds and can top out at 218 mph

The Tourbillon's cabin is one of its highlights and is inspired by mechanical watches as seen in the analog dials

Inside the Revuelto, things are more modern looking, which are more catered towards a younger demographic

Porsche enthusiast & YouTuber ARC Driver spotted a mysterious image on the Porsche cobfigurator.

Rumors point to a base internal combustion Turbo and a Hybrid Turbo S model

The rendering in the configurator follows the profile of the recently unveiled 992.2 Carrera and GTS

The image hints at wider fenders, a turbo intake, and a unique spoiler that integrates into the bodywork

It's unlikely to be purely a Touring model as the rear fender lacks an air intake

We also can't confirm if its a pure Turbo either as they generally have a spoiler that sticks out

Speculation suggests it could be a stripped-down, rear-wheel-drive, manual-transmission Turbo

Another theory is the Turbo S Touring with an integrated rear wing

ARC Driver believes there could be at least four variations of the 992.2 Turbo

The upcoming Turbo will most likely feature the 3.6-liter boxer that debuted on the 992.2 GTS

The engines for the recently unveiled Bugatti Tourbillion and GMA T.50 were developed by Cosworth

The Bugatti Tourbillon packs an 8.3-liter V16. Coupled with 3 e-motors, the hybrid powertrain cranks 1,775 hp

The GMA T.50 is powered by a Cosworth-developed 3.9-liter nat-asp V12, pumping out 654 hp and 344 lb-ft of torque

An 8-speed dual-clutch gearbox is the only option available for the Tourbillon

The T.50 comes with a six-speed lightweight Xtrac manual gearbox

That huge rear fan at the rear helps create downforce to keep the T.50 glued to the ground

The Tourbillon's rear diffuser is so big that Bugatti had to use it for crash protection

The driver sits in the middle inside the T.50, like an F1 car. This seating arrangement opens up space for two more passengers

The Tourbillon's cabin layout is that of a typical Bugatti with a large center tunnel running between the seats

The GMA T.50's dashboard is dominated by a large center tachometer flanked by digital displays

The Tourbillon's cockpit is the fanciest between the two with intricate watch-like dials; all analog

Bugatti's latest creation, the Tourbillon, is a giant leap forward compared to the Chiron

It keeps a combustion engine, an 8.3-liter nat-asp V16, and adds three e-motors

Combined, the hybrid powertrain pushes out an astonishing 1,775 horsepower

Before the Tourbillon's debut, there were many speculations about it being a full-fledged EV

With Mate Rimac now CEO of the company, it wasn't a wild guess, owing to the Rimac Nevera's success

However, Rimac didn't want to build a Bugatti hypercar with internal combustion, because it needed to be "emotional"

Bugatti is known for its combustion engine prowess, especially the 8.0-liter quad-turbo W16 which powers the Veyron and the Chiron

Cars like the legendary Type 41 Royale featured a massive 12.8-liter straight 8 engine in the 1930s

The thrill of ICE-powered cars is incomparable. The vibrations, the exhaust, which, in case of the Tourbillon, sounds amazing at 9,000 RPM

BEVs suffer from power-to-weight ratio, and making the Tourbillon heavier than it already is would be blasphemy

We look back at how Bugatti's flagship supercar has evolved over two decades

The Veyron was the first undertaking by French automaker, Bugatti after VW's takeover in the late 90s

The Veyron debuted in 2004 with an 8.0-liter quad-turbo W16, pushing out 987 hp and 922 lb-ft of torque

Dethroning the McLaren F1, the Veyron 16.4 went on to become the fastest car in the world with a top speed of 253 mph

After several special editions and facelifts, production of the Veyron ended after a 15-year run

It was followed up by the equally mind-numbing Bugatti Chiron which retained the Veyron's quad-turbo W16

It was produced between 2017 and 2024 and the Chiron was able to make the 300+ mph barrier

The latest Bugatti, the Tourbillon, introduces an all-new V16 with three e-motors, together, the hybrid powertrain pushes out 1,775 hp

The Tourbillon debuts with a more aggressive design, thanks to its chiseled body and an outward nose

The 8-speed DCT now sits behind the V16 and the 25 kWh battery pack is positioned in between the seats

The Tourbillon is the first Bugatti to come with dihedral doors

The diffuser at the rear of the Tourbillon looks like it's straight-up from the track-monster Boilde

The interior of the Tourbillon sees more exclusive touches than the Veyron and the Chiron, especially with the clock-inspired instrumentation

The Tourbillon's suspension is 45 percent lighter than the ones found in the Chiron
