God, how many "special" editions did Bugatti make of the Veyron? When everything is special, nothing is special.

I don't believe it. When the Saudis call, surely they'll sell them a petrol-only car.

Hybrids are still petrol

The new flagship is still a 6.5L V12, just with 3 electric motors as well...

The only real reason for every car on the road not to go hybrid is cost and cost isn't a factor for Lamborghini. Hybrid drivetrains are the perfect answer to the Ice's gross inefficiencies when at idle or lower speeds.
