Bugatti is putting the Mistral through extensive tests before launching production. It will notably verify the roadster's claimed 260-plus-mph top speed.
Unveiled in 2022, the Mistral is the final street-legal Bugatti powered by the quad-turbocharged W16 engine. It's related to the Chiron, but the two cars are different enough that the French brand built test mules to put the roadster through its paces before launching production. While some hypercars can only be registered in the United States under the Show and Display rule, Bugatti wanted the Mistral ? its first convertible since 2015 ? to be fully street-legal in every major market.
One of its development mules has already covered nearly 20,000 miles, and it will rack up an additional 5,000 miles in the coming months including roughly 3,000 miles on a track. If that doesn't sound like much, consider this: Bugatti notes that most of its modern-day cars haven't reached the 25,000-mile mark yet. Even the top speed, which is advertised at over 260 mph, will be verified ? it's part of road-testing, after all.
