New Bolide star: The legendary Bolide gets a close production version, limited to only 40 units, manufactured in Bugatti's Wolfsburg development center.
Roadster flagship: The Mistral is the last W16 roadster to appear - also strictly limited to 99 vehicles.
Looking to the future: Bugatti is already working on a hybrid super sports car with an 8.3-liter V16 engine and 1,324 kW (~1,800 PS) under the code name Tourbillon, to be delivered from 2026.
