The "BUG" may have had more than one aspect in common with a prior design or two.
Held as a war criminal, an Italian that wanted an engine design bailed him out.

At war’s end, the French accused the elder Porsche of war crimes and imprisoned him for more than a year. Ferry struggled to keep the family firm afloat. He built a Grand Prix race car, the Type 360 Cisitalia, for a wealthy Italian industrialist, and used the money to pay his father’s bail.

We live in weird times, chalk it up to that.
