The rumored Bugatti sedan will be the marque's fourth attempt at a modern-day four-seater

Bugatti's first attempt at a modern-day four-seater was the 1993 EB112

The 2009 Bugatti 16C Galibier Concept almost went into production as a four-door replacement for the Veyron

Porsche Taycan's platform is the most likely candidate to underpin a Bugatti EV sedan, but it would need to be "stretched"

Despite the possibility of Porsche's J1 platform underpinning the Bugatti sedan, electric power will, likely, come from Rimac

A four-seater Bugatti will be the only direct rival to Koenigsegg's Gemera

However, Mate Rimac said, back in 2022, that a fully-electric Bugatti will not be happening in the next 10 years

Could this mean "one last ride" for Bugatti's W16 engine

Despite the W16's torque making it better-suited for luxury applications, Bugatti already confirmed it is retired for good

This leaves the Tourbillion's V16 hybrid powertrain as the most logical option for the Bugatti sedan

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

Swipe up to find out why Porsche chose to take this route.

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

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

With the Rimac-Bugatti merger, people anticipated a rebadged Nevera as the Chiron succesor

Instead, the new Bugatti Tourbillion features a naturally-aspirated V16

Co-developed with Cosworth, this all-new ICE engine packs 1000 horsepower

With 3-electric motors, the power output of the hybrid supercar is a combined 1,800 horsepower

Could Porsche follow a similar strategy for its upcoming flagship?

As a last hurrah, how about bringing back the iconic V10 from the Carrera GT?

The high-revving F1-derived engine makes the Carrera GT one of the best-sounding cars of all time

Porsche can take a different route focusing on an electrified lightweight track car

As the successor to the 918, it could ideally also feature a much more updated hybrid powertrain

Porsche's all-electric concepts like the 1000+ hp Mission X and Misson R are the ideal base

Could Porshe too surprise us with an ICE, like it did with Bugatti?

Time will tell if Porsche will leverage Bugatti's strategy on electrification.

Porsche recently took the wraps off of its 992.2 Carrera GTS hybird

Enter the 911 GT3 R Hybrid, that made its debut at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show
