Bugatti Mistral La Perle Rare Revealed

The Bugatti Mistral La Perle Rare is like the grand finale of Bugatti’s W16 engine days, turned into a fancy ride.

Bugatti’s special Sur Mesure team made this unique convertible, which mixes crazy power (1,578 hp!) with super-detailed work.

The car has a shiny white paint job with gold lines that flow all over it, so it looks like a moving sculpture. This look is a shout-out to cool custom cars from the past, like the Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport L’Or Blanc.

To get the gold details just right, they had to carefully mask everything by hand. The wheels even have a special gold and white finish made just for this car.

Inside, it’s mostly white leather with gold touches all over the door panels. The lights are warm and the metal trim is shiny, making it feel really special.

Little details make it clear this is a one-of-a-kind car: Rembrandt Bugatti’s Dancing Elephant (which was first on the Bugatti Type 41 Royale) is stitched into the seats, stamped on the doors, and even inside the gear selector.

You’ll see La Perle Rare written on the engine cover, in the middle of the car, and under the rear wing.

The engine is the same, and it doesn’t need any changes. The W16 engine with four turbos makes 1,578 hp and can supposedly hit over 260 mph, making this the last Bugatti convertible with this awesome engine.

They’re only making 99 Mistrals, and while they didn’t say how much this one cost, it’s probably way more than the usual $5 million price tag.
