Bugatti's 1578bhp Mistral roadster bows out W16 engine | Autocar

Bugatti Mistral revealed at Pebble Beach as final roadster to use the firm's famed W16 engine - just 99 will be made

At the front, the Mistral gets distinctive headlights with a vertically stacked four-LED design, and the iconic horseshoe grille is widened and made to look deeper, such as on the Divo. It also gets a similar bonnet design to the concept, albeit less raucous.

However, it is the rear of the car that “challenged” designers the most, and a road-legal version of the Bolide’s distinctive X-shaped rear lights has made it to production. A square exhaust, as seen on both the Chiron and Veyron, replaces the double twin pipes used on the Chiron Super Sport. A roof cover will also come with the car, but it won’t be usable when driving, and purely for keeping occupants dry, and the interior safe, while stationary.Aerodynamics play a big role here too, with a lack of roof requiring complex designs of how to keep the car planted, as well as where the air will flow, deputy design director Frank Heyl said.
