The Bugatti Mistral is the open-top send-off for the legendary W-16.
"For the final road-going appearance of Bugatti’s legendary W-16 engine, we knew we had to create a roadster," Bugatti Rimac CEO Mate Rimac said in a statement."Well over 40 percent of all Bugatti vehicles ever created have been open-top in design, establishing a long lineage of performance icons that—to this day—are revered the world over."
The Mistral uses a new carbon-fiber monocoque based on the Chiron's, yet the company points out that it's not just a Chiron tub with a big hole cut out where the roof would be. This new chassis allowed Bugatti designers to give the Mistral a very distinct look from the Chiron. Its engine is shared with the Super Sport 300+, and—as with all 16-cylinder Bugattis—it powers all four wheels via a dual-clutch transaxle.
Inside, the interior is very much Chiron, though with some new details including quilted leather on the door panels, and a recreation of Rembrandt Bugatti's famous elephant sculpture within the shifter. Naturally, customization will be virtually limitless. Bugatti plans to build 99 examples of the Mistral, with a price of €5 million . Naturally, all are sold out, and when production ends, so too will the 16-cylinder automotive engine. What a send-off.
