Bugatti Mistral meets the wind that gave it its name

Bugatti has revealed new pictures of the W16 Mistral, just as one example is currently making its way to Singapore from Japan.

The new images place the W16 Mistral within the twisting roads above the Cote d'Azur, where its 16-cylinder engine could not only send its soundtrack all across the scenic cliffs and shoreline, but also allowed the car to meet the northwesterly winds from which it gets its name.

Befitting of the strong Mediterranean wind, the Bugatti W16 Mistral comes equipped with a 1,578bhp engine, allowing the car to ferry its passengers as effortlessly as its namesake powers through the French countryside.

And the car faces little difficulty in cutting through the air as well, thanks to its deep horseshoe grille at the front, alongside two intakes at either side, which help to manage the air around sweeping past the car, handy, when it has a top speed of 420km/h.
