Bugatti is back in a big way by launching a beast in the world of motors on the market, namely the Bugatti W16 Mistral with W16 engine: the company tells us how it built this splendid roadster
At the Tokyo Motor Show they surprised us with the Mazda MX-5 Spirit Racing, but also Bugatti he’s not joking. In fact she introduced us to the Bugatti W16 Mistral, the new roadster hypercar that left us speechless. This is the Bugatti’s first roadster after the 2022 Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse and will also be thelatest combustion engine hypercar of the French company. It will be very difficult for the company to decide to reuse the combustion engine, unless someone is willing to spend so much money to ask for a custom-made car and so on.
Bugatti W16 Mistral: the latest combustion engine
The strong point of this new Bugatti car is the W16 engine, surrounded by a completely revised monocoque. The CEO of Bugatti, Emilio Scervospoke about the history of the construction of this new model, speaking about it with pride:
The Chiron family was never intended to have a roadster model. That’s why we had to start from scratch when we decided to build the W16 Mistral, the ultimate tribute to our rich roadster history and legendary W16 engine.
The most notable thing about this Mistral model is that, contrary to what its model suggests crazy design, retains all the typical Bugatti character, while still remaining traditional. Scervo also added that the real challenge was to reach the maximum speed of 420 kilometers per hour, combining it with a luxurious and refined interior, without resorting to a sporty style. To make this possible, Bugatti technicians made sure that the frame was as rigid and light as possible, thanks to the use of composite materials. Then they added some special touches to the Mistral, like the new front air intake and additional carbon fiber vents behind the headreststo keep the bodywork as fluid as possible while traveling.
We repeat that this will be thelast Bugatti roadster with combustion engine, a series that began in the mid-20th century. Continue to follow us on techgameworld.com for other news from the world of motors and much more.
