Bugatti is closing in on the completion of the testing phase for its highly anticipated $5 million Mistral Roadster. The hypercar manufacturer recently shared updates about the 1,578-horsepower, W16-powered marvel, which has been spotted undergoing rigorous road testing in the picturesque South of France. This testing marks one of the final steps before full production begins, ensuring the car meets Bugatti’s unparalleled performance standards.
The Mistral Roadster is set to become the world’s fastest open-top car, and Bugatti has already hand-selected just 99 lucky owners. Each owner will soon take delivery of this coveted vehicle, though not before it passes its final tests on both public roads and race tracks. Bugatti’s commitment to perfection is evident in these meticulous assessments, which focus on refining the roadster’s driving dynamics and overall performance.
Bugatti has showcased an exposed blue carbon fiber test mule during the road trials, captivating enthusiasts with its striking appearance. The car’s dark blue and French Racing Blue accents shimmer under the Mediterranean sun, with bronze highlights adding to its allure. Whether cruising through Monaco’s streets or taking on the region’s scenic driving roads, the Mistral stands out as one of the most visually and mechanically impressive vehicles in Bugatti’s storied history.
As the testing phase concludes, Bugatti is on schedule to begin deliveries to its customers, bringing the Mistral one step closer to joining the hypercar world. With its bold design, powerful W16 engine, and a limited production run, the Mistral Roadster is set to make its mark as an icon in automotive history.
