Car aficionados and lovers of quirky engineering, it’s time to shed some tears as the car has just been revealed Bugatti W16 Mistral “Bringing the W16 Era to an End”.
Like recent Bugatti specials, the Mistral has a unique body, but is clearly a derivative of the Chiron. This last shot from the Chiron was also the first to be a convertible roadster.
At the front, Mistral has a new iteration of the brand’s horseshoe grille, deeper, wider and more three-dimensional. Vertically stacked LED lighting strips give the vehicle a distinct look, day or night.
The windscreen wraps around just enough to create a visor-like appearance, but without distorting the driver’s view.
To improve airflow into the W16, the rear intake is dedicated to the oil cooler, while the engine ram induction intake is located behind the headrest. These carbon fiber units can support the entire weight of the vehicle in the event of a rollover.
At the rear, the striking X-shaped taillights are not only striking to look at, but the empty space also has cooling ducts that help keep the W16’s temperature under control.
Named for “the strong wind that blows from the valley of the Rhône, through the opulent towns of the Côte d’Azur in the south of France and into the Mediterranean Sea,” the Mistral is powered by the same version of 8.0 liter quad-turbo W16 made its debut on the Chiron Super Sport.
In this tune, pot 16 serves 1176kW and 1600Nm to all four wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission.
Although Bugatti has yet to release Mistral performance figures, the company is confident it will reclaim the crown of the world’s fastest roadster, a title once held by the Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse, which has a mere 883kW compared to the world’s fastest roadster. to its name and is capable with a top speed of 409km/h.
The cabin is the most obvious link, if you need it, between Mistral and Chiron. In standard form, the interior of the Mistral has been stripped of most of its bright paintwork, and features a black and gold color combination, which is the highlight of the Type 57 Roadster Grand Raid’s preferred interior color combination and Ettore Bugatti.
The Mistral features new woven leather upholstery for the door panels, while the gear lever is cast from a single block of aluminum and features a clapboard inlay and amber insert with a Rembrandt Bugatti dancing elephant sculpture locked. inside.
Bugatti will build only 99 Mistrals, each priced from 5 million euros ($7.2 million), with deliveries in 2024.
If you’re interested but haven’t placed your order yet, it’s too late – the W16 Mistral is sold out.
