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.
