The ultra-rare hypercar, which recently made its grand entrance in the glitzy streets of the principality, has already turned heads and left jaws on the floor. The Mistral is the latest addition to Bugatti’s lineup, and it’s every bit as luxurious and powerful as you’d expect from the iconic brand.
This particular Mistral is reportedly the first of its kind to arrive in Monaco, making it an instant icon among the supercar crowd that frequents this Mediterranean playground for the rich and famous.
The Bugatti Mistral isn’t just about its eye-watering price tag; it’s a celebration of speed and style. Under the hood, the Mistral is packing an 8.0-liter quad-turbocharged W16 engine, capable of unleashing a monstrous 1,578 horsepower. This beast can roar from 0 to 60 mph in under 2.5 seconds and has a top speed of over 260 mph, making it one of the fastest roadsters ever built.
It’s not just fast, though—the Mistral’s sleek design, inspired by Bugatti’s storied history, pays homage to the brand’s classic roadsters while pushing the boundaries of modern automotive engineering.
The arrival of the Mistral in Monaco is fitting, given the city’s reputation as a haven for luxury and excess. It’s a natural habitat for a car of this caliber, where it can be seen cruising past superyachts in the harbor or parked outside the iconic Casino de Monte-Carlo.
With its combination of rarity, performance, and sheer presence, the Bugatti Mistral is sure to become a legend in Monaco’s automotive scene, and it’s only a matter of time before it’s spotted in the wild by the lucky few who can catch a glimpse of this $5 million masterpiece.
