The Bugatti Mistral, also called the Bugatti W16 Mistral, is a mid-engine two-seater sports car manufactured in Molsheim, France, by French automobile manufacturer Bugatti Automobiles S.A.S. It was revealed on 19 August 2022.[5] The Mistral is marketed as the fastest roadster in the world.[6] Deliveries to customers will begin in early 2024.[7] All 99 units were pre-sold at a price of €5 million.[8]

The Mistral is not a cabriolet version of the Bugatti Chiron but rather a separate roadster model for Bugatti that marks the last vehicle to use the W16 engine that was introduced with the Bugatti Veyron in 2005.[9]
