For a car as evocative and important as this, great consideration went into the badge it should wear.
Inspiration came from the mistral, a powerful wind that blows from the Rhône River valley, through the chic towns of the Côte d'Azur in southern France and into the Mediterranean.
With the engine so central to this roadster's character, it stands side-by-side with this mighty wind: W16 Mistral.
Built around the definitive 1,600 PS incarnation of the W16 engine, first used in the Chiron Super Sport 300+, the W16 Mistral offers performance unlike any open top car that has gone before.
The X-taillight, meanwhile, serves the function of venting the side oil coolers through ducts connecting the triangular negative space in between the X beams to the side radiators.
The Bugatti W16 Mistral's interior takes its lead from Chiron, carefully honed to deliver an experience that's both elegant and luxurious.
The dedication to material quality remains a hallmark of Bugatti design; advanced, lightweight titanium, aluminum components milled from a solid block and soft, blemish-free leathers.
The headlights themselves are intricately shaped, incorporating a four-light signature that subtly nods to the W16 Mistral's four-wheel-drive and four turbochargers.
A pressure drop is created between the side intakes and the outlets at the back of the W16 Mistral which helps to manage the mid-temperature cooling circuit of the mighty W16 most effectively.
There is an intricate woven leather used on newly designed door panels, meticulously tested and produced to Bugatti quality standards with a vision of regular use over a hundred years into the future
