A rare opportunity has emerged for collectors seeking one of Bugatti’s most exclusive modern hypercars, as a 2025 Mistral W16 has entered the resale market despite the model being completely sold out before production began. Limited to just 99 units worldwide, the open-top model was never widely available to the public, making any secondary market appearance notable.
Originally priced at more than $5 million, this particular example is now listed at $10.5 million, reflecting both its scarcity and growing interest among collectors. With only 328 miles recorded, the vehicle remains in near-new condition, a factor that further enhances its appeal in the high-end automotive market where low mileage often commands a premium.
The car features a carefully curated specification that balances subtlety with distinctive design elements. Finished in Matte Argent Silver, it incorporates Beluga Blue accents across key exterior details including the wheels, badges, and trim pieces. The coordinated design extends to the rear wing script and engine bay, creating a cohesive visual identity without relying on overly bold styling.
Inside, the cabin presents a contrasting color scheme dominated by tangerine upholstery, complemented by Beluga Blue stitching throughout the seats and door panels. Signature Bugatti design elements remain present, including embroidered headrests featuring the brand’s iconic elephant motif, along with carbon fiber accents and understated French tricolor details.
The Mistral distinguishes itself from previous Bugatti models with unique styling cues such as a wider grille, vertical lighting elements, roof-mounted air intakes, and distinctive X-shaped taillights. While it shares design DNA with the Chiron, the Mistral carries its own identity as a roadster built to mark a significant transition for the brand.
Power comes from Bugatti’s 8.0-liter quad-turbocharged W16 engine, producing 1,578 horsepower and 1,180 pound-feet of torque. Paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission and all-wheel drive, the car accelerates to 60 mph in approximately 2.5 seconds and reaches a top speed of 282 mph.
As the final model to feature the W16 engine, the Mistral represents the closing chapter of an era that began with the Veyron and continued through the Chiron. Its rarity and historical significance are expected to keep demand high, even at a price that far exceeds its original cost.
