Bugatti W16 Mistral, Dragonfly Blue-Black Point

The mistral is the powerful wind that blows down the Rhône valley, through the towns of the Côte d'Azur and out over the Mediterranean, and Bugatti chose it as the name for its last W16 roadster. The car's face is new. The headlamps are stacked vertically in a four-light signature that nods to the Mistral's four-wheel drive and four turbochargers, their three-dimensional surfaces shaped to work as an aerodynamic aid, and the horseshoe grille is deeper and wider than before so that it can feed the high-temperature radiator from a single intake. Revealed in 2022 and built 99 times, it uses the 1,600 PS engine of the Chiron Super Sport 300+.

Dragonfly Blue-Black Point is a graphic scheme: a bright blue at the nose breaks into a pattern of dots that fades through the doors and haunches to gloss black at the tail. The wheels are painted to match the blue, blue trim shows in the cabin, and blue returns low on the rear diffuser beneath the red X of the tail lamps and the raised wing. The roadster sits on a black suede-finish base with white contrast stitching, its nameplate carrying the Bugatti macaron, the Mistral script and a piece number from an edition of 30. H&H builds it at 1:18.
