Bugatti<\/a> has revealed the one-of-one W16 Mistral<\/a> “Blanc \u00c9ternel<\/a>,” a Sur Mesure<\/a> creation that blends digital design<\/a>, hand craftsmanship and porcelain artistry to mark the end of the iconic W16 era.<\/p>\n

\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Created in partnership with Germany’s K\u00f6nigliche Porzellan-Manufaktur Berlin<\/a> (KPM), the bespoke roadster revisits the collaboration that produced the Veyron Grand Sport<\/a> “L’Or Blanc<\/a>” 15 years ago. While the earlier car drew inspiration from flowing porcelain brushstrokes, “Blanc \u00c9ternel” celebrates modern automotive design by exposing the W16 Mistral’s underlying digital surface geometry through fine black lines traced across its white bodywork.<\/p>\n

Although the graphic originates from Bugatti’s digital design process, every line was painstakingly masked and hand-painted directly onto the car. The contrasting black-and-white finish highlights the Mistral’s sculpted body, from its signature horseshoe grille<\/a> to its dramatic C-line and X-shaped taillights.<\/p>\n

KPM porcelain accents appear throughout the exterior, including the EB emblem<\/a>, fuel and oil caps, and engine cover inlays. Inside, Bugatti developed a new process to reproduce the exterior’s graphic pattern on white leather<\/a>, while genuine porcelain is used for functional interior components such as the gear selector, speaker grille, window switches and console trim.<\/p>\n

\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Named “Blanc \u00c9ternel” to reflect both the timeless appeal of white porcelain and the enduring legacy of the W16 engine<\/a>, the bespoke roadster serves as a fitting tribute to Bugatti’s legendary 16-cylinder powertrain and the craftsmanship that has defined the brand’s most exclusive creations.<\/p>\n
