Interesting to see them going from a V8 to a tri turbo I6.
Also interesting to see it have one electric trubo.

It would be based on the N54/55 engine and use not only two traditional turbochargers but also a third electric turbocharger.
This is great until someone comes out with 4 turbos besides the Veyron. This is kinda like 'Something about Mary and the seven minute abs video.

They'll never do tri-turbo. It's unnecessarily complicated and expensive and it's not like you really get much more from them than a twin setup.. Twin-turbo will be the standard, if anything.

Or both initial and electric start off, then bringing on the 2nd mechanical turbo (ala Supra) at a certain rpm/load/speed whatever.

The nice thing is, they can buy the third turbo (the electric one) on Ebay. It'll be cheap to implement!
