Bugatti continues to unveil one‑off interpretations of the Mistral, the brand’s final model to carry the signature W16 engine. Only 99 examples will be produced, each finished to a unique specification.

One of the latest Mistrals stands out with an unconventional palette: a light brown body that brings to mind peanut butter, set off by darker accents. Aluminum details on the wheels, exhaust, and engine covers echo the theme, giving the car a crisp, cohesive look.

The cabin is trimmed almost entirely in brown leather, from the door panels to the central seat inserts. The one deliberate contrast is a wooden gear selector with a matte finish and a clear section containing an elephant figurine—a nod to Bugatti’s historic ornaments. The touch of wood adds warmth and tactility, preventing the monochrome treatment from feeling sterile.

The Mistral is powered by an 8.0‑liter W16 with four turbochargers, rated at 1,578 hp and 1,180 Nm. Drive goes to all four wheels through a seven‑speed automated transmission. With the roof open, it is engineered for speeds above 260 mph (418 km/h), underscoring that this open‑top machine is built for speed.

The Mistral’s base price was around $5 million, and one buyer sold a production slot for about $9.3 million—clear evidence of the demand for such exclusives. For those seeking top‑tier road cars with an emphasis on uniqueness and collectability, the Mistral stands as one of the most expressive hypercars on sale today.
