This character line then flows back underneath the side glass to shoot through all the way to the front horseshoe grill creating a new three-dimensional character for the famous Bugatti C-line introduced on Chiron. To keep the body side section slim, but also allow for optimum airflow to the W16, the oil cooler intakes on the side were deliberately separated from the engine air intakes, which now sit on the roof, just behind the occupants, the two roof-mounted engine air scoops are a nod to the Type 57 Roadster Grand Raid, as well as the first open-top Bugatti of the modern era: the Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport, tighter, more powerful and appearing to leap forward, W16 Mistral exhibits an entirely different character.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/2023-Bugatti-Mistral-6.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-412011\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/2023-Bugatti-Mistral-6.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/2023-Bugatti-Mistral-6.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/2023-Bugatti-Mistral-6-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/2023-Bugatti-Mistral-6-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/2023-Bugatti-Mistral-6-100x56.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/2023-Bugatti-Mistral-6-770x433.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/2023-Bugatti-Mistral-6-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/2023-Bugatti-Mistral-6-293x165.jpg 293w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/2023-Bugatti-Mistral-6-1400x788.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Anscheidt continues: <em>&#8220;To reflect the W16 Mistral\u2019s new character, we also totally reinvented its frontal appearance, in line with the vertical layout of our unique or few-off models like Divo and La Voiture Noire.

But their three-dimensional surface also functions as an aerodynamic aid that funnels air through the light and out through the wheel arch to improve aerodynamic drag. The wider horseshoe grille allows the high-temperature engine radiator to be fully fed purely from one intake, leaving the two side intakes to focus only on providing air to the intercoolers. <\/em><em>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. Therefore, 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.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/2023-Bugatti-Mistral-8.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full

amazing interiors from Bugatti in the past, some customers really ordered some truly bespoke upholsteries and finishes, but for the new W16 Mistral, Bugatti pulled out all the stops with intricate woven leather on newly designed door panels, which has been meticulously tested and produced to Bugatti quality standards with a vision of regular use over a hundred years into the future, and just to makes sure the rest of the interior follows suit, the gear shifter is machined from a solid block of aluminum, but still boasts a touch of wood and an amber insert with Rembrandt Bugatti\u2019s famous \u2018dancing elephant\u2019 sculpture locked within.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/2023-Bugatti-Mistral-9.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\"

a roadster at a staggering 254.04 mph (408.84 km\/h), powered by an 8.0-liter quad-turbo W16 with &#8216;just&#8217; 1,200 PS, today the Bugatti W16 Mistral comes with 1,600 PS, and make no mistake, this is the same power output as used in the Chiron Super Sport 300+ that set the world-record-breaking speed of 304.773 mph in 2019 &#8230; it is simple, Bugatti wants to build the fastest roadster in the world, beating their previous record-setter.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/2023-Bugatti-Mistral-16.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\"

CEO, said: <em>&#8220;The union of a roadster format and our W16 powertrain is absolute perfection. With the roof removed, and a pair of large air intakes directly behind your head feeding around 70,000 liters of air through the engine every minute at full bore, driving the W16 Mistral connects you to the intricate workings of this revolutionary powertrain like no other Bugatti to date. What we also continue with W16 Mistral is a legacy of Bugatti roadsters, each of them incomparable in design, performance and rarity, which stretches right back to the genesis of Bugatti. The Type 40, Type 41 Royale, Type 55 Roadster, Type 57 Roadster Grand Raid that inspired this car, or even the incredible elegance of the Type 57SC Corsica Roadster \u2013 Bugatti has always been associated with the purity of open-top driving. So even though the legacy of the roadgoing W16 ends with the W16 Mistral, we continue the legacy of the roadster, first established by Ettore Bugatti more than a century ago.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a
