Summary

Bugatti has officially completed production of the 99th and final W16 Mistral at its Molsheim Atelier

The bespoke hypercar features a two-tone Pearl and Sparkle exterior alongside falcon-inspired interior details

The milestone release closes out nearly two decades of Bugatti's quad-turbocharged 8.0-liter W16 powertrain

Bugatti has officially unveiled the final production example of the Bugatti W16 Mistral, marking the definitive end of the brand’s road-going W16 engine era. The 99th and final roadster recently departed the Atelier in Molsheim, France, dressed in a bespoke, highly personalized specification.

Crafted through the automaker’s Sur Mesure customization program, the ultimate iteration wears an elegant two-tone “Pearl” and “Sparkle” exterior finish contrasted by a “Magnolia” and “Grey Carbon Matt” interior. The open-top cabin incorporates bespoke Middle Eastern touches, including a falcon-shaped gearshift topper, embroidered falcon motifs, and Ettore Bugatti’s signature integrated into the headrests, door sills, and engine cover trim. A Lalique-crafted “Spirit of the Wind” crystal armrest plate and a dedication plate inscribed with “The last of its kind” further distinguish the hypercar’s collector status.

Underneath the sculpted bodywork lies Bugatti’s legendary 8.0-liter quad-turbocharged W16 engine, producing an astounding 1,600 PS (1,578 hp). Having established itself as the world’s fastest open-top production car with a recorded top speed of 453.91 km/h (282 mph), the Mistral stands as the final road-going vehicle to utilize the iconic powertrain before Bugatti transitions toward hybrid V16 architectures.

The final Bugatti W16 Mistral concludes a limited run of 99 individually commissioned units, priced at €5,000,000 EUR each, with deliveries now completed via Bugatti.
