French Racing Blue sets the Bugatti Mistral apart
The Bugatti Mistral’s French Racing Blue exterior highlights the car’s sculpted aerodynamic profile and bespoke detailing.
Carbon fiber trim complements the finish, while matching blue brake calipers complete the visual package.

The French Racing Blue theme continues inside, adding to the hypercar’s cohesive design.
Every Bugatti Mistral is built to spec, but this configuration instantly stood out.
Miller Motorcars delivers the Bugatti Mistral with care
Miller Motorcars and Bugatti Greenwich coordinated the Bugatti Mistral’s transport from France to the client in North America.
As only 99 units of this incredible machine will ever be produced globally, each delivery represents a major moment in automotive collecting.

This French Racing Blue example was preserved in a sealed crate, emphasizing its exclusivity.
It arrived as a rolling tribute to engineering excellence and design precision.
The W16 engine powers the Bugatti Mistral’s final form
The Bugatti Mistral is the last model to feature the legendary 8.0-liter W16 engine, a quad-turbocharged unit producing 1,600HP.
This is the same engine used in the Chiron Super Sport 300+, making it one of the most powerful open-top vehicles ever built.

The W16 engine is being retired after this model, marking the end of an era.
In this hypercar, the engine is paired with chassis enhancements designed for extreme speed and stability.
Crystal gear shifter adds artistry to performance
Inside the Bugatti Mistral, the cabin features a crystal gear shifter sculpted from blue glass with the Rembrandt Bugatti elephant as its crowning detail.
This element merges the mechanical with the artistic, offering a tactile centerpiece for the driver.

Alongside the French Racing Blue leather and carbon accents, the interior reflects the same level of precision as the W16 engine under the hood.
The crystal gear shifter is not just decorative, it defines the Bugatti Mistral’s sense of occasion.
Bugatti Mistral closes the W16 chapter with elegance
This hypercar blends speed, design, and legacy in a limited-run package that will never be repeated.
With its French Racing Blue paintwork, crystal gear shifter, and iconic W16 engine, it honors Bugatti’s past while making way for its future.

Each detail, from delivery to design, has been curated for collectors who understand the significance of the moment.
As the last W16 engine leaves Molsheim, the Bugatti-Mistral becomes a timeless monument to internal combustion mastery.
And these photos, taken by Dan Wagner, do this incredible machine justice. Head over to his IG to see more.
