Bugatti Reveals W16 Mistral “Le Retour du Jeune Prince”, Its Latest Sur Mesure One-Off

Bugatti Reveals W16 Mistral “Le Retour du Jeune Prince”, Its Latest Sur Mesure One-Off

As Bugatti closes out the chapter on its glorious VW era, the French marque continues turning the W16 Mistral into a rolling canvas for some of its most personal Sur Mesure commissions yet. Following standout creations like “La Perle Rare” and the aviation-inspired “Fly Bug,” both of which were revealed earlier this year, this latest one-off from Molsheim may be the most unique interpretation of the roadster so far. Dubbed the Bugatti W16 Mistral “Le Retour du Jeune Prince,” this bespoke open-top hypercar draws inspiration from literature, moonlight, and the owner’s own imagination. The commission centers around a continuation of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s iconic “The Little Prince,” written by the collector himself and translated by Bugatti’s Sur Mesure division into an automotive work of art. The project began in October 2023, when the collector met with Jascha Straub, Bugatti’s Manager of Sur Mesure and Individualization, in Molsheim to shape the car’s creative direction. Together with Bugatti’s CMF team in Berlin, the concept evolved into a deeply detailed specification built around earthy metallic tones, celestial imagery, and handcrafted storytelling elements. “The W16 Mistral 'Le Retour du Jeune Prince' is a beautiful example of what Sur Mesure can achieve when a customer’s personal story is placed at the heart of the creative process,” - Jascha Straub, Manager of Sur Mesure and Individualization, Bugatti. Finished in a bespoke copper-and-bronze colorway, this W16 Mistral reflects light with a warm metallic glow that dramatically shifts across the car’s sculpted surfaces. The signature horseshoe grille was redesigned with lines that visually flow upward with the hood, while gold accents surrounding the Bugatti Macaron, copper brake calipers, and matching “EB” wheel emblems reinforce the theme throughout the exterior. Silver stars hand-painted into the rear bodywork form constellations across the roadster’s surface through an intricate layering process performed by Bugatti artisans. Hidden beneath the active rear air brake sits a tribute to Saint-Exupéry’s original story, revealing an illustration inspired by the famous prince-and-fox scene whenever the wing deploys. <- Gallery -> Inside, Terre d’Or and Driftwood leather upholster the cabin, joined by embroidered moon imagery stitched directly into the door panels and headrests. Brown carbon fiber trim carries constellation-inspired detailing, while the centerpiece remains the gear selector’s sculpted silver rose, created from a 3D scan of a real flower before being transformed into miniature jewelry-like artwork. Beyond its craftsmanship, the W16 Mistral remains one of the greatest Bugattis ever made. The open-top hypercar serves as the final road-going expression of Bugatti’s W16 platform that began with the Veryon under Ferdinand Piëch, while subsequently also doing duty on the Chiron family, which includes the Mistral, limited to just 99 examples. Back in February, earned duPont REGISTRY’s inaugural Best in Show Award at this year’s Cars on 5th.  Its 8.0-liter quad-turbocharged engine produces 1,578 horsepower and 1,180 lb-ft of torque, launching the all-wheel-drive roadster from 0 to 60 mph in 2.4 seconds before reaching a verified 282 mph top speed, making it the fastest roadster in the world.  View All Bugattis For Sale Images: Bugatti

By Tyler Rampersaud –  May 26, 2026

Bugatti EB110 Super Sport Listed For Sale

Bugatti is known today for its hypercars that have defined the genre with their unparalleled performance, unfathomable engineering, sumptuous luxury, and opulent exclusivity. However, before Bugatti reshaped the hypercar landscape with the Veyron in the early 2000s, it had a revival in the ‘90s with the EB110. Like the Veyron, the EB110 featured a quad-turbocharged engine. However, rather than being a W16, the EB110’s engine was a V12. Today, the EB110 is a collector masterpiece of ‘90s supercar excess, and each of the two variants of the EB110 has a unique appeal to enthusiasts. The inaugural version of the EB110 was the EB110 GT, and it was created as the more luxurious, comfortable version of the supercar. However, alongside it is the EB110 SS, or Super Sport. Compared to the GT, the Super Sport has 50 more horsepower at 603, along with a fixed wing in comparison to the GT’s active wing. Only a handful of Bugatti EB110s were made. The EB110 GT is already exceedingly rare, with 80 examples made, but the Super Sport is even rarer. Only 30 examples were built, and one of them is currently listed for sale on duPont REGISTRY, the source for supercars since 1985. It’s currently available for sale at Carrio Motor Cars, in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. <- Gallery -> This 1995 Bugatti EB110 SS for sale is a gorgeous example of the ‘90s supercar masterpiece. Its exterior is finished in the iconic French Racing Blue color the car was known for, and its Grigio Chiaro leather interior features the EB110 SS’s iconic square quilting pattern. The car also features the signature of Romano Artioli, the CEO of Bugatti during its ‘90s revival. It shows only 421 miles on its odometer, making it a truly covetable retro supercar.

Bugatti Uncovers The Unique Story Of The Veyron Chassis 5.1

By Tyler Rampersaud –  May 19, 2026

The Unique Story Of The Bugatti Veyron Chassis 5.1

Old and new alike, any Bugatti is right at home at a concours event. Throughout the manufacturer’s long and rich history, its cars have always been known for impressive performance, historical significance, opulent luxury, and, of course, timeless beauty. Bugatti’s 21st-century revival came in the form of the Veyron, and it didn’t just shape Bugatti’s legacy but the trajectory of the entire supercar world. Its unprecedented power and performance are largely thanks to the quad-turbocharged W16 engine, which set new standards in the automotive industry, and was the work of laborious years of development and engineering. Before the series production Bugatti Veyron broke cover, a handful of pre-series cars were a crucial part of the development process, helping shape the engineering that would eventually make the Veyron a transformative masterpiece. One is Bugatti Veyron Chassis 5.1, and it was recently showcased at the 2026 Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este as a part of Bugatti’s La Maison Pur Sang program. Dedicated to the historical preservation and authentication of Bugatti’s masterpieces, La Maison Pur Sang puts together records, service documentation, photographs, and other archived documents to tell the story of cars like Veyron Chassis 5.1. <- Gallery -> For the car’s new custodian, La Maison Pur Sang uncovered an incredible story behind the car, one that was largely a mystery before. Chassis 5.1 was one of six pre-series Veyrons built before the start of customer car production. Brought to Nevada’s salt flats, the car was used for high-speed and endurance testing, trialing the vehicle in extreme conditions. After that, it was registered in Germany in September 2005 and was showcased in Sicily for the first global dynamic event for the Veyron. After traversing the world to showcase the Veyron, Chassis 5.1 was reconfigured with silk seats and showcased in North America, being shown to clients at venues like Pebble Beach, The Quail, and more. After that, it was reconfigured again in 2007, and records from Bugatti Greenwich indicate that it continued its technical role. Its final transformation came in 2008, returning to Molsheim to be configured like the customer-spec cars. Showcased in Lake Como for the 2026 Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este, the Bugatti Veyron Chassis 5.1’s story comes back to life nearly two decades later. Alongside it at the Concorso were other stunning Bugatti cars, like the first customer-delivered EB110 GT, an original, unrestored Type 37, and a rare Type 57C ‘Aravis.’ Showcasing a breadth of Bugatti’s legacy, the Veyron Chassis 5.1 already has an incredible story to tell, chronicling a recent but unforgettable chapter in Bugatti’s longstanding heritage.

What We Know About The AP Royal Oak Inside Bugatti's One-Off Hypercar

What We Know About The AP Royal Oak Inside Bugatti's One-Off

In the automotive realm, certain cars age like fine wine and make triumphant returns to the collector car market, with buyers paying incredible premiums to own a piece of history. For Bugatti and its legendary Veyron, the 2000s hypercar never fell off, mainly because of its iconic status as ‘The’ influential hypercar, and it is most definitely rising in value even further as a must-have collector's gem. The marque recognized this recent celebration of the Veyron, which just so happened to coincide perfectly with the reveal of its one-off Bugatti F.K.P Hommage by its all-new Programme Solitaire division. And while you can check out our full release on the Veyron facelift, inspired by one of the most influential automotive personalities, Karl Piëch, here, we’re here to address a very special custom clock commissioned for the new, one-off Bugatti hypercar. For something that seems foreign to most, it's one of the most exciting parts of modern-day coachbuilding, giving clients complete control over designing what just might be their ultimate dream car. We’ve seen something similar with Rolls-Royce Motor Cars and its three $28 million Boat Tail builds, all configured with custom clocks courtesy of horologists like Audemars Piguet and Breguet. Audemars Piguet has returned to the automotive world, as the future owner of the F.K.P Hommage took advantage of Bugatti’s ability to accommodate highly individual requests within the Programme Solitaire to commission a custom Royal Oak clock for the interior. Best described by Bugatti themselves, the 41mm Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Tourbillon “dominates the dashboard,” proudly displayed at the center of the 1,001-horsepower Bugatti’s dashboard. The octagonal Royal Oak sits within an “island” finished in engine-turned polish, borrowed from the finishing of Ettore Bugatti's original straight-eight cylinder heads. Audemars Piguet’s Tourbillon features a gondola winding mechanism that rotates on a diagonal axis several times per hour, powered by the car itself without any  connection. The dial features a stunning red-to-black sunburst finish that matches the hypercar's two-tone exterior. Being the second Programme Solitaire commission to come out of Molsheim, you have to wonder what watch Bugatti will feature in its next one-off build. All Bugatti Inventory Source: Bugatti

Watch The Bugatti Tourbillon Take On Snow In Sweden

By Tyler Rampersaud –  May 07, 2026

Watch The Bugatti Tourbillon Drive In Snow

The Bugatti Tourbillon has very big shoes to fill when it comes to continuing Bugatti’s hypercar legacy. That’s why Bugatti set out to create something unprecedented, combining a naturally aspirated V16 engine with a hybrid system to give the Tourbillon immense power (1,800 horsepower total) and singularity worthy of the world’s finest automotive collections. In the same way that the Veyron raised the bar for hypercars in the 2000s, the Bugatti Tourbillon aims to define an echelon in the automotive world. The journey towards achieving that has been captured in Bugatti’s “A New Era” docuseries about the creation of the Tourbillon, and the latest episode is one of the most exciting, as it sees the new Bugatti Tourbillon take on cold-weather testing in Arjeplog, Sweden. Far in the northern reaches of the Scandinavian country, Arjeplog is known for its frozen expanses of ice and snow, making it the perfect venue for cold-weather testing of Tourbillon prototype cars. The validation prototypes took to the extreme environment to ensure that, while the hypercar is unlikely to take on such harsh conditions, the engineering is sound enough to handle the harshest of environments. The hybrid powertrain is challenged by the incredibly low temperatures, the drivetrain is challenged by low grip, and other systems like climate control, windshield defogging, and more were validated in the tough conditions. One of the most important and complex mechanisms in the car is its braking system, which is not only paramount for safety, but also is involved in the hybrid system with regenerative braking. The brake-by-wire system was thoroughly tested during the program, as well. <- Gallery -> A team of 20 worked tirelessly throughout the cold-weather testing program, and a core team of six remained throughout the full campaign. The team not only faced the challenges of the testing itself, but also encountered the unique aspects of their environment, being near the Arctic Circle. The documentary captures a reindeer approaching the car, and Aurora Borealis lends its ethereal glow to the surroundings. The new episode, called ‘A New Era: Extreme Conditions,’ is available now to watch on Bugatti’s YouTube channel. View All Bugatti For Sale Image Source: Bugatti

This Driver Still Races A Century-Old Bugatti Type 35

In earlier chapters of automotive history, Bugatti was one of the defining names in the world of motorsport. One of the most influential race cars from Bugatti was the Type 35. Introduced over a century ago in 1924, the Type 35 went on to be one of the most successful race cars of its time, with thousands of race wins at iconic venues. Over a hundred years after the Bugatti Type 35 was first introduced, it remains a celebrated icon in the automotive world, and it’s also celebrated by many motorsport enthusiasts. A community of owners still races the Type 35 on circuits today, and one of those is Thierry Stapts. The owner of a white Type 35 that was built a century ago in Molsheim, Stapts has driven his Type 35 for seven years. He describes it as something between a race car and a motorcycle, with intense character and feeling, and the challenge of preserving automotive history. It’s not easy to find parts; some have to be fabricated from scratch, and Stapts often relies on a passionate community of specialists who work tirelessly to preserve the legacy of historic racing Bugattis. The car has become an important part of Stapts’ life, earning the nickname “Grandmother,” and embarking on historic races at Monaco, Le Mans, Goodwood, Donington Park, and other iconic venues. With the Type 35, history comes alive as the century-old car is still raced today, and drivers like Thierry Stapts, with unmatched passion, are integral in keeping the hundred years of legacy relevant today.

The New Bugatti W16 Mistral ‘Fly Bug’ Is A Sur Mesure Masterpiece

By Tyler Rampersaud –  April 30, 2026

Bugatti Reveals The New Sur Mesure W16 Mistral ‘Fly Bug’

With Bugatti’s Sur Mesure bespoke program, the possibilities for creative expression are virtually endless. Already some of the most desirable, luxurious, and exclusive vehicles on the planet, Sur Mesure adds a layer of individuality that makes a Bugatti a truly unique statement. The latest commission to emerge from Bugatti Sur Mesure is one of just 99 Bugatti W16 Mistral examples, and it belongs to a collector who celebrates nature with insect-themed commissions. Named the W16 Mistral ‘Fly Bug,’ the new commission joins the others: the Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse ‘Hellbug,’ the Bugatti Chiron ‘Hellbee,’ and the Bugatti Divo ‘Lady Bug.’ Each of them, including the newest, celebrates the marvel of some of the smallest and most overlooked fauna in the world. In the case of the dragonfly, it was the creature’s iridescent wings and effortless speed that inspired the configuration. What started as a personal exchange between the collector and Frank Heyl, Bugatti’s Head of Design, was then handled by the Color, Materials, and Finish team in Bugatti’s Design Studio in Berlin, whose task was to make sure that while the Mistral was a unique creation, it also remained cohesive with the rest of the insect-themed Bugatti collection. A bespoke color called ‘Dragonfly Blue’ adorns the exterior, and it shifts between blue and turquoise in the light like the iridescence of a dragonfly’s wings. An ellipse pattern can be seen throughout the interior and the exterior, and even incorporates the Bugatti Macaron emblem, which was a technical challenge for the team. <- Gallery -> Months of work were involved in bringing the new Bugatti W16 Mistral ‘Fly Bug’ to life, and it now sits alongside a stunningly curated collection of other bespoke Bugatti masterpieces. Showcasing yet another beautiful bespoke hypercar, Bugatti’s latest Sur Mesure creation is the result of a collector’s cohesive vision, and Bugatti’s design expertise, from the brand’s Head of Design and from the Berlin Design Studio.

Porsche Sells Stakes In Bugatti Rimac To HOF Capital

By Tyler Rampersaud –  April 24, 2026

Porsche Sells Stakes In Bugatti Rimac

2021 saw the formation of Bugatti Rimac, a combination of Rimac Group with the historic and cherished Bugatti brand that saw Rimac Group as the majority owner and Porsche as the minority stakeholder, with Porsche also holding stakes in Rimac Group. However, that arrangement is now changing, as Porsche and Rimac Group have announced the sale of Porsche’s stake in the Bugatti Rimac company and Rimac Group to HOF Capital. The consortium includes BlueFive Capital as its largest investor, along with a group of institutional investors across the US and EU. Once the sale is complete, Rimac Group is set to take control of Bugatti Rimac while entering a strategic partnership with HOF Capital and BlueFive Capital. The transaction is set to be complete before the end of 2026. While the deal is still subject to regulatory clearances and other customary conditions precedent, the announcement of the sale of Porsche’s stakes in Rimac Group and Bugatti mark the beginning of a new era for both the Bugatti brand and Rimac Group’s various businesses, including, of course, the Rimac Automobili manufacturer. Already known for its mastery of performance-oriented EV tech and electric mobility innovation, Rimac’s hypercars have demonstrated a previously unprecedented level of performance potential for electric cars, and as Bugatti launches its Tourbillon hypercar, the same is being done for hybrid vehicles. A naturally aspirated V16 engine combining with electrified power is going to rewrite the rulebooks of automotive performance, as Bugatti’s 21st-century hypercars have done for over 20 years. With a new strategic partner, Rimac Group and Bugatti Rimac are poised to continue growing and evolving in the future. View All Bugatti For Sale Image Source: Bugatti Rimac
