Bugatti has revealed its latest bespoke hypercar, the W16 Mistral ‘Fly Bug’. This Sur Mesure creation is a one-off commission built for an elite customer.
The Bugatti W16 Mistral ‘Fly Bug’ joins three other remarkable projects, including the Veyron ‘Hellbug,’ Chiron ‘Hellbee,’ and Divo ‘Lady Bug.’ This time, Bugatti has taken inspiration from the natural world once again, combining design cues from dragonflies and ladybugs into a striking visual identity.
Finished in a deep Dragonfly Blue, the car’s paintwork mimics the iridescent tones of its winged namesake, while the dotted pattern across the exterior and cabin subtly references a ladybug’s signature look. The level of craftsmanship is staggering! Bugatti spent nearly 10 months perfecting every detail of this one-off.
Beneath the artistry lies pure mechanical madness. The Mistral retains Bugatti’s legendary 8.0-litre quad-turbo W16, producing a monstrous 1,600 PS. It rockets from 0–62 mph in just 2.4 seconds and holds the crown as the world’s fastest open-top car, having breached an astonishing 281 mph (453 kmph).
