Bugatti’s last W16 gets a pearlescent send-off: the La Perle Rare Mistral
Bugatti unveiled a one-of-one W16 Mistral called La Perle Rare through its Sur Mesure program.
The bespoke roadster wears newly developed pearlescent two-tone paint, hand-applied gold-and-white dividing lines, diamond-cut two-tone wheels and white-painted carbon interior trim.
It retains the quad-turbo 8.0-liter W16 producing about 1,578 hp.
The release confirms a final road-going W16 commission, required hundreds of hours of hand craftsmanship and reflects a close collaboration led by Jascha Straub.
It matters because it formally closes Bugatti’s W16 era, bolsters collector value for bespoke commissions and highlights the marque’s pivot toward hybrid powertrains.
Bugatti Mistral you can buy at VIPCAR International.
