A Delivery-Mile Bugatti Mistral Could Sell For More Than $10 Million

One of 99

In the world of exotics, Bugatti is one of the brands at the top of the heap, and there's currently a very special one out there for sale with a U.S. title. The Bugatti Mistral has got to be one of the most beautiful cars in the world. This example is one of only 99 ever made, and it's on sale.

The Mistral is a milestone model for the brand, marking the end of a very wild run with the W16 Bugatti engine. We had an extremely good run with the Bugatti W16, spanning several icons such as the Veyron, Chiron, Divo, and, of course, the Mistral, and it's crazy to see just how far the exotic automaker has come with this platform.

"Serious Buyers Only"

Miller Motor Cars, Buggati Greenwich, currently has this car, and it's up for sale. Is it a price? To be discussed. This example is a straight-up U.S. Spec car, which means that it has a local title and is ready for delivery as soon as possible. Based in Connecticut, Miller Motor Cars, an authorized Bugatti dealer, recently posted its latest hot-ticket item.

Now, just like any other limited-run model that's already all sold out, you can expect the price to go up as time goes on. The retail price of the Bugatti Mistral was around $5,000,000 before taxes and customizations, and secondary market examples hit as high as $10,500,000, and that's with 328 miles on the clock. Miller Motor Cars' example has delivery miles, and while the exact number wasn't disclosed, I think it could be lower than 300 miles.

The Mistral is more than just another limited edition. We've written some stories about how Bugatti strived for absolute perfection in its 99-unit run. As the final curtain call for the W16, Bugatti went all out, and on top of its fanatical quality control, the brand also produced some more eye-catching examples during its production run.

With all that being said, whoever wants to get this one-of-99 will be paying some serious cash, but considering the spec, you probably can't go wrong, I think.

Beautiful Spec

As far as its spec goes, this is a very pure example of the Mistral. It's not as wild as some of the other, more flamboyant units in the production run, which makes it a pretty remarkable collector's piece. Considering its specs and the fact that it has only delivery miles on its odometer, it could go over the $10.5 million mark.

Painted in Argent Gloss with polished aluminum accents, the color palette plays beautifully into the Art Deco theme that you could say matches the Mistral's body lines and persona perfectly. Equally as subtle and elegant is the black leather interior, with a touch of wood in the gear selector. Hand-stitched details can also be found throughout the cabin, and bits of exposed carbon fiber contrast with the silver metal accents, reminding you that this is equal parts performance car and artistic expression. All of that is also covered by a full XPEL body protection, in other words, "free PPF."

Don't be fooled by the lavish interior because the Mistral is still a Bugatti after all. With the 8.0-liter W16 engine in it, you can expect four-digit horsepower figures. Since this is the last of its breed, Bugatti was able to build this quad-turbo engine up to the nth degree, achieving 1,578 horsepower and a top speed of 282 miles per hour. Really, without those ludicrous figures, can you really call it a Bugatti? Perhaps you could say that this is the most "Bugatti" of them all, and it can be yours for the right price.
