The Chiron may end, but Bugatti still has interesting details to participate about Mistral, the last W-16 breed. The 8.0 -liter quadruple machine broke out, three years ago, when 5 million euros were limited to 99 units, all of which were sold before the official offer. The deliveries of customers did not start until last February, and now we learn more about what is happening from the moment when the car is built until it is delivered to its legal owner.
all mistake It is subject to a strict test for at least 248.5 miles (400 km) to ensure that everything reaches the specifications. If any problems are discovered, the car returns to the store to sort “any violations, regardless of the extent of secondary.” Then it returns to the road for an additional 31 miles (50 km), or more if necessary.

Even before the owner put the foot inside Hypercar, Bugati The sinner pushes to 186 miles per hour (300 km/h). It is part of a test to check ESP and ABS systems while braking in emergency situations.

But Mistral is capable of full tilt. Last year, it arrived 282 miles per hour (453.9 km/h) In the Papenburg test path in Germany, making it the fastest car in the world. This is actually faster than Bugatti at the beginning, as Sheron Rhodester was said at 261 miles per hour (420 km/h). Its “predecessor, Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse, may” only “amounted to 254 miles per hour (408.8 km/h). A fun fact: the maximum mistral speed can only be achieved with the removal of the ceiling.
The Bugatti test motor includes much more than speed and recovery on the brake. From seven -speed dual automatic transmission to a removable roof mechanism, everything is completely evaluated. Only three people are qualified to test Mistral before delivering it to its owner.
As one era approaches its end, another person is about to start. Bugatti will start Turbion Delivery operations in 2026, precisely as a coupe, although Roadster’s follow -up looks like an educated guess. Cheron’s successor may be faster, as the company’s companion has alluded to the company’s CEO that through the appropriate tires, the new Vybercar V-16 can break the 500 km/hour barrier. this 310.6 miles per hour.
