The Bugatti W16 Mistral hit 453.91 km/h, setting a world record for the fastest open-top car ever. 🤯🔥
Imagine doing nearly 454 km/h with no roof above you. 🏎️💨
The record-breaking Mistral was powered by Bugatti’s legendary 8.0-liter quad-turbo W16, producing around 1,600 PS and sending power to all four wheels.
But reaching this speed wasn't just about horsepower.
At nearly 454 km/h, aerodynamics, tires, stability and precision become critical.
Every surface of the car has to manage enormous amounts of airflow, while the tires must withstand forces most road cars will never experience.
And because the Mistral is open-top, engineers faced an even bigger aerodynamic challenge — keeping the car stable while exposing the cockpit to extreme airflow.
Then came the moment of truth.
The Mistral accelerated to an astonishing:
453.91 KM/H. 🤯
That's faster than many aircraft during takeoff. ✈️
Bugatti proved that an open-top hypercar doesn't have to sacrifice extreme speed.
