A Bugatti hyper sports car is engineered with aesthetics in every detail, but its final flourish is the bodywork; painted with the precision and dedication of expert craftspeople, incorporating eight layers and lovingly perfected over the course of at least 600 hours of handwork. Lavishing such care and attention on the paintwork of a car in this way is unheard of, but only the most flawless, mirror-like finish will pass the strict standards expected by Bugatti before a car is delivered to its customer. So complex, so involved and so dedicated to an incomparable finish is the process that in the same time it may take a traditional luxury car manufacturer to build four or five cars in their entirety, Bugatti will only have completed...

Two very early examples of the Veyron, now considered as a modern classic automotive icon, have been given a new lease of life thanks to La Maison Pur Sang, Bugatti’s official restoration and certification program. Housed side-by-side as part of the same revered international collection based in the United Arab Emirates, the two Veyron siblings – a 16.4 Coupé and a Grand Sport – spent nine months at Bugatti’s home in Molsheim, during which time they were subject to a revitalizing and meticulous new configuration and restoration program by a Bugatti factory team of skilled experts. In addition to numerous highly focused aesthetic upgrades that were part of the customer’s design vision, the Veyrons also underwent a methodical technical...

The W16 Mistral glides over beautiful twisting roads in the foothills above the Côte d’Azur, with the evocative soundtrack of its W16 powertrain reverberating off the scenery. From all around – below and above, head on and sideways – is a unique southern France airstream, matching the W16 Mistral’s characteristics in perfect harmony. This is where the W16 Mistral channels the full force from nature. This is the moment when the hyper sports car becomes at one with the elements, encountering the wind that lent this car its name: the mistral. One of the eight dominant winds that envelope the Mediterranean Sea, the mistral, much like this Bugatti roadster, is known for its unrelenting power. The wind blows from the Rhone River valley...

Mate Rimac said demand for the company’s all-electric Rimac supercars and its combustion-engine Bugattis remains strong, and may even be accelerating. “We don’t see any slowdown at the moment, quite...
