W16 Mistral - As fast as the wind
For such an important automobile, Bugatti considered very carefully what name it should bear. After all, the Roadster is far more than just a further development of the Chiron. It therefore needed a name associated with freedom, elegance and speed. The inspiration came from the Mistral, a strong wind that blows from the Rhône valley through the fashionable towns of the Côte d’Azur in southern France to the Mediterranean. And since the drive is so central to the character of the roadster, it stands side by side with this mighty wind: Bugatti W16 Mistral.

Experience performance openly
The Bugatti W16 Mistral is based on the final version of the W16 engine with 1,600 PS, which was first used in the Chiron Super Sport 300+. It delivers a level of performance never before achieved by an open-top vehicle. The existing Chiron monocoque was not simply cut above the A-pillars to make room for the new open design. Instead, it was reshaped to create a more rounded silhouette without compromising performance.

W16 Mistral - purist elegance
The Bugatti Type 57 Roadster Grand Raid built in 1934 served as the great inspiration for the W16 Mistral. The sporty roadster represents the pinnacle of elegant design. This Grand Raid, which is on display in the Louwman Museum in The Hague, is characterized by its two aerodynamic headrests, which merge into the bodywork at the rear, and a truncated V-shaped windscreen. It also impresses with its understated sportiness. With its two-tone paintwork, the Bugatti Type 57 Roadster Grand Raid is the perfect choice for this turning point in Bugatti’s history.
