Bugatti Mistral inches closer to production; Looks epic in new images!

As the whole world goes gaga over the new Bugatti Tourbillon, a team of engineers is busy putting the final touches on the Mistral back in Molsheim. What is, the only open-top hypercar based on the Chiron platform has entered its final testing phase.

Emilio Scervo, CTO of Bugatti Rimac said, “We are in the last part of the testing program – we are getting close to the finish. From the initial validation stages to the intensive endurance tests, every aspect of the Mistral’s development is precisely planned and executed. The Mistral is the ultimate example of our dedication to setting new standards in roadster design.”

Bugatti has also released official images of the pre-production prototype. This is the same 2-tone Mistral that was spotted in April this year. It is finished in Brise and has a blue carbon lower section with matching wheels and the French tricolore on the sides.

The Bugatti Mistral uses the same 8.0-liter W16 engine from the Chiron Super Sport. It is also the last Bugatti to be powered by this legendary 1600 hp unit. Only 99 of these will be produced.
