Bugatti’s new hypercar loses the turbos for a screaming V16 hybrid

It features three electric motors, 1,800 horsepower, and watch-like instruments.

@arstechnica Yeah, but is that ever going to be as cool as riding a bicycle?

@arstechnica Putting Bugatti under Mate Rimac's control is an absolutely baller move, and will pay dividends to them for years to come. It was a really bold, ambitious, and high-risk decision, and while I'm certainly never going to get a Bugatti, it's going to make that a halo brand beyond just “big engine + luxury”. The watch-inspired dials are chef's kiss.

@arstechnica I can imagine a new Batmobile being built on this.

@arstechnica perfect for the environmentally conscious drug lord.

@arstechnica Hilarious that the only companies prioritizing tactile, physical controls are the ones that charge stratospheric prices. It's almost as thought all those touch screens going into care are primarily about cutting corners...
