A V16 successor is just around the corner, but Bugatti needs to sign off the its last-ever W16 first...
It’s only human to wind up all interest in something when a newer, shinier version of said thing comes along. But, much like elephants, car enthusiasts tend not to forget - especially when there's a reputation at stake. Just look at the reaction to the new, there’s no chance the company’s legendary W16 efforts will vanish from memory any time soon. Not with the open-top Mistral on the horizon, which Bugatti has announced is now in its final phase of testing.
Here’s where the fun really begins, though. Bugatti’s testing target is 40,000km , and 5,000 of those have been earmarked for track work. That includes verifying the lofty top-speed target the company has set itself, which is proving a bit of a problem. See, there aren’t many circuits in the world that are long enough and flat enough to get up to Mistral-levels of speeds.
