It might have retired its iconic W16 engine, but Bugatti isn’t ready to go all-electric just yet – even with EV pioneer Mate Rimac at the helm.

It has the same number of cylinders as its Chiron and Veyron predecessors, but ditches the quad-turbo setup for natural aspiration and gains a hybrid system with three electric motors.
