Ever since the Veyron was introduced in 2005, the W16 engine has been the beating heart of every Bugatti. The roadgoing car that brings the W16 era to an end was always destined to be special, exclusive, elegant and powerful… It must be the very best of its kind. Bugatti has now recently released new images of the ultimate roadster W16 Mistral.
To design a car like the W16 Mistral requires a careful practice of Bugatti’s ‘Form Follows Performance’ design mantra, with each component penned not just to set new standards for beauty, but to also play a role in achieving completely new levels of performance.
To develop incomparable levels of elegance and excitement, the Bugatti W16 Mistral features the very latest engineering innovations. Bugatti’s advanced composite materials are paired with cutting-edge titanium and aluminium 3D printing to ensure striking design, ultimate performance and robust reliability. A detailed analysis of the Mistral’s dynamic stiffness allowed engineers to develop lightweight solutions that would ensure optimum handling and performance under the most extreme conditions.
The Bugatti W16 Mistral debuts in colours inspired by the Bugatti Type 57 Roadster Grand Raid; a warm black with hints of truffle brown and subtle yellow accents throughout. Not only is it a homage to the iconic coach-built body, but also to Ettore Bugatti, who chose the black and yellow combination for many of his personal cars, including his Type 41 Royale. To enthusiasts of the brand, it is a timeless visual pairing.
