The final Bugatti W16 era milestone
London, February 19, 2025, (Oilandgaspress) –––With the winds of change blowing into a new chapter for Bugatti, the swansong of the legendary W16 era, the W16 Mistral¹, has been delivered to its first customers – a special moment marking the beginning of a new milestone for the brand, and a new journey of discovery for the owners.
The story of the W16 Mistral itself can be traced back through Bugatti history, to some of the marque’s most iconic roadsters. With the extraordinarily beautiful 1934 Type 57 Roadster Grand Raid Usine, and the equally mesmerizing Type 57S Roadster coachbuilt by Corsica, the seeds for what defines the W16 Mistral came into bloom. Where a purposeful profile, infused with seamlessly elegant bodylines, intertwined with a driving experience open to the elements unlike any that had come before it.
Now, with the first monumental chapters of its legend already written, the story of Bugatti’s ultimate roadster continues. The beautiful result of a masterful process of craftsmanship months in the making, the first examples of the beautiful W16 Mistral now mark a symbolic step for the brand – leaving the Alsatian Atelier in which they were hand-assembled and being united with their owners in the USA.
Both vehicles represent graceful tributes to the elegance that defines its design. One of the W16 Mistral to be delivered is adorned with a striking ‘Black Carbon’ finish and ‘Bugatti Light Blue Sport’ accents – its sophisticated, all-encompassing black bodywork unlike many dual-color approaches discerning owners take, yet exuding immense power and captivating refinement. Honoring its unparalleled W16 engine, matt accents on the engine cover represent an ode to the automotive icon – the beating heart of its performance. The fusion of boldness and elegance continues inside the cockpit, its beautifully prepared ‘Bugatti Light Blue Sport’ leather upholstery, and ‘Black Carbon’ matt accents and ‘Beluga Black’ stitching, cementing its unique identity.
Only a few months after the final touches of the last hand-crafted Chiron were completed, and a new era for Bugatti unveiled in the Tourbillon, the W16 Mistral embarks on its journey as the final encore for the incredible W16 engine, marking the end of a remarkable chapter for Bugatti. The ultimate roadster – entirely unparalleled in its capabilities, its character, and its rich heritage; qualities that its first esteemed owners can continue to experience for themselves in their rawest, most thrilling form.
