The Bugatti Brouillard, the last-ever W16 Bugatti, has now landed in Europe after its launch in California.
After its debut at Monterey Car Week in sunny California, this one-off supercar is gearing up for a tour in Europe, where it’ll be showcased at different events across the Old Continent.
It’s a pretty big deal.
Mainly because we can already predict what’s going to happen to this car next.

The Bugatti Brouillard has a special place in the brand’s history
The Bugatti Brouillard was unveiled as a one-off creation to celebrate the outgoing Chiron.
More importantly, it’s a tribute to the W16 engine used for the Chiron, the Divo, the Mistral, the Bolide, and the other one-off, the La Voiture Noire.
The 8.0-liter W16 that powers it delivers 1,577 horsepower, which is a lot less than the new hybrid V16 can muster, but the key difference is that the V16 is part of a hybrid powertrain.
The Molsheim-based automaker decided to celebrate its arrival in Europe at the Wheels Marienwaerdt event in the Netherlands.
The vehicle will then be attending other events, although a complete list is not available at this time.
It’s a unique opportunity, mainly because we can already predict what’s going to happen next.
The vehicle will go back to its owner, and then it’s going to be parked in an air-conditioned garage for the next few years until it’s sold at auction.
The last-ever W16 Bugatti
The Brouillard will be the last W16 Bugatti.
Bugatti had already said that when it unveiled the Chiron ‘L’Ultime’, but it kind of feels like they mean it this time.
First unveiled in 2005 with the Veyron, the W16 lived on for exactly 20 years, and it was used for the Veyron and then, upgraded, for every Bugatti thereafter.
It powered the Chiron (all models), the Divo, the Centodieci, the Bolide, the Mistral, the Brouillard, and two concept cars, the Vision Gran Turismo and the Hunaudières.
The new V16 is actually bigger and more powerful, but it’s electrified.
And some collectors don’t really have an appetite for that sort of thing.
