2024 Bugatti W16 Mistral

Gorgeous R85 Million Bugatti Mistral Bids Farewell To W16 Era

Bugatti took the covers off the simply stunning Mistral Roadster at Monterey Car Week last week and after seventeen years of service, Bugatti’s mighty W16 engine is bowing out with a 420 km/h (261 mph) drop-top hypercar.

As you would expect, the Mistral’s core is the Bugatti Chiron but makes use of a redesigned carbon fibre monocoque to provide open-air motoring. For the lucky 99 owners, it features the most powerful version of the quad-turbo motor – a Chiron SuperSport-derived 1,578 hp (1,177 kW) 8.0-litre unit.

This hulk of an engine is paired with its seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox which as mentioned hits 261 mph (420 km/h). Bugatti is rather keen to grab the title of the world’s fastest roadster which means it will have to push through its claimed top speed and knock the Hennessey Venom GT Spyder off the top (265.6 mph).

As mentioned, Bugatti will make only 99 units of the Mistral and plans to kick off deliveries in 2024 when the first of the 40 Bolide track cars are also destined to reach their rightful owners. While the Bolide was available for €4 million apiece, the Mistral has a sticker price of €5 million and yes, as usual, they are all spoken for.

Bugatti Isn't Worried About Any of This

Mate Rimac, the CEO of Bugatti Rimac, said they have orders till 2025.

The last few years have been chaotic, to say the least, because of the pandemic, and the next few promise to be interesting too, because of the economy, which many worry could go south. Someone who is not all that worried? Bugatti Rimac CEO Mate Rimac, who says Bugatti Rimac is doing just fine.

Rimac told CNBC this week that Bugatti is doing more than fine, in fact, with the ultra-rich who buy Bugattis not all that affected from the goings on of the past few years. If anything they might be even better-positioned, which means that they are ordering Bugattis, like the just-announced Mistral, of which all 99 examples are already sold.

“We don’t see any slowdown at the moment, quite the opposite,” he said. “With Bugatti, we are sold out well into 2025. So even if the (recession) is a few years, we will come out even stronger out of it.”

Yes, you might be worried about a recession, but Bugatti Rimac has a lot of Bugattis to make, thank you. And while there were some who perhaps batted an eye when Rimac, an electric supercar maker, acquired Bugatti last year, Rimac seems, if anything, to be taking a conservative root with its business. Rimac also told CNBC, for example, that they don’t intend to go public just for the sake of going public or as a naked money grab, like some automaker startups have been accused of.

Bugatti Baby II Carbon Edition Exclusive for W16 Mistral Owners Costs R1.5m

Developed in partnership with The Little Car Company and hand built to each customer’s specifications, the Baby II Carbon Edition follows the exterior and interior detailing of the W16 Mistral, making it the ideal addition to Bugatti’s ultimate roadster.

A limited-edition carbon-inspired new Bugatti Baby II has been created exclusively for W16 Mistral owners who have the option of tailoring it just like their special Mistral.

As the name suggests, the Bugatti Baby II Carbon Edition incorporates numerous carbon features. Visible carbon elements grace the radiator and grille, dashboard panel, interior panels and mirror mount while the bespoke black wood steering wheel is finished with a carbon centre.

To make the car lighter, the spare wheel, spare wheel bracket and straps have all been removed.

Wiebke Stahl, Managing Director at Bugatti International, said: “The new Bugatti Baby II Carbon Edition takes inspiration from our ‘Form Follows Performance’ philosophy; an ethos that has informed and ensured that all of Bugatti’s automobiles, lifestyle products and experiences meet the highest standards, be that in quality, luxury, design and performance.”

Bugatti W16 Mistral Visits Japan – Check Out These Stunning Photos

A vibrant metropolis, known for its cutting-edge technology, rich culture and extensive heritage, Tokyo is a city that seamlessly blends the traditional with the modern. Visitors can at the same time explore temples well over 1,000 years old and gaze at the tallest buildings in the world. The W16 Mistral is clearly at home there, drawing upon over a century of Bugatti history and imbued with the very latest automotive design innovations.

The stunning hypercar visited the Kanda Myojin Shrine, which is considered one of the oldest temples in Tokyo. It also passed by Oishi Park, with Mount Fuji in the distance and Lake Kawaguchi in front.

Bugatti goes Big In Japan as the Mistral continues its world tour

The Bugatti W16 Mistral’s farewell world tour continues. The 8.0-litre combustion engine at the heart of the astonishing €5m hypercar marks the last pure combustion engine Bugatti will build, and so it’s being played off like a 20 minute jazz solo.

We turn then to the land of the rising sun. Japan. Notable for its passionate automotive audience and astonishing car culture, the Mistral took in a number of stunning sights to set its bespoke body against.

Like the Kanda Myojin Shrine – considered one of the oldest temples in Tokyo – as well as Oishi Park, Gora Kadan (the former retreat of the imperial family) and of course, the glorious backdrop of Mount Fuji. Could have done a few laps of the Speedway while it was there.

Because, once more for the back row, it’s the final outing for the venerable W16. “This is the last of the line,” Bugatti design director Achim Anscheidt told TG at the car’s reveal in 2022. “People will be acutely aware that this is the last of its kind, that it’s something very significant. Approaching this project reminded me of the last cars Jean Bugatti did in the pre-WWII era.”

What is in that amber in the gear shift?
Click to expand...
Hidden on the back of the shifter is an amber insert with a little dancing elephant sculpture inside. "Ettore Bugatti had a brother, Rembrandt Bugatti. Rembrandt was a sculptor and an artist, and he sculpted animals. He would be in the zoo observing animals and doing sculptures. And [Rembrandt] did the dancing elephant that was dancing on the world, and it was on the front of the Bugatti Royale. So we thought it would be a nice thing – because we always identify Bugatti with this elephant – to put it into [the shifter]."

Bugatti explains how it built the stunning Mistral roadster, time to stop and stare

The rest of the world may be putting a leash on its designers, and simmering down their crazy concepts to be relatively tame when they do make production, but Bugattidoes things differently. Welcome to the latest set of images for its forthcoming W16 Mistral hypercar, folks. And yes, our jaws still need lifting from the floor too.

It’s Bugatti’s first roadster since the Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse back in 2012 and will be the French marque’s last-ever purely ICE-powered thoroughbred. Unless a really rich person comes along and asks for a one-off. And then their friend asks for another. But that’ll really, truly be the last-ever one. Maybe.

At its heart will sit the final rendition of Bugatti’s legendary W16 power plant, but woven around it is a completely redefined monocoque, leading to a noticeably more chiselled shape than before.
Emilio Scervo, chief technology officer at Bugatti, said: “The Chiron family was never intended to have a roaster model. That is why we had to start afresh when we decided to build the W16 Mistral, the ultimate tribute to our rich roadster history and our legendary W16 engine.”
