Bugatti’s rich lineage of open-top performance icons is revered the world over. Influenced by a standard of engineering that pushes established boundaries, challenges design norms and sets new benchmarks, the development of the W16 Mistral opens a new chapter in the brand’s unmatched roadster legacy.The W16 Mistral is the first Bugatti roadster since the Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse which premiered in 2012.The W16 Mistral is the last road-going Bugatti model that will be powered by the brand’s legendary W16 engine.Crafted around the definitive 1,600 PS incarnation of Bugatti’s W16 engine, the W16 Mistral offers exquisite craftsmanship and luxury that is unlike any other open top car.Intricate woven leather is used on newly designed door panels, which has been meticulously tested and produced to Bugatti’s highest quality standards.The doors of the W16 Mistral are designed to absorb an exceptional amount of energy in the event of a side impact, thus keeping driver and passenger safe and secure.Each component is designed not just to set new standards for beauty, but to also play a role in achieving completely new levels of performance for a roadster.The soundscape inside the W16 Mistral is not limited to the visceral signature presence of the W16 engine; it is accompanied by a high-end sound system specially developed for the roadster.Staying true to its roadster roots, the W16 Mistral is a perfect matrix of flawless engineering attributes fusing performance, comfort, safety, dynamics, handling and drivability.
Most car enthusiasts have a ‘hero poster’ on their bedroom walls as they grow up. For ATP tennis star, Hubert (Hubi) Hurkacz, who heads to the US Open Championships this week, it was the iconic McLaren P1TM hypercar – specifically P1 OOV, which is still part of McLaren’s own heritage fleet – that took pride of place and drove his childhood dreams at home in Wroclaw, Poland.Teaming up with McLaren Beverly Hills and its O’Gara Motorsports division at The Thermal Club, a private, member’s only track in California, McLaren, The Americas managed to bring Hubi’s ‘bucket list’ wish to life by giving him a day of expert tuition behind the wheel of the McLaren 765LT Spider.Instead of hitting serves at over 150mph, the tennis ace was able to get behind the wheel of the pinnacle of ‘Longtail’ performance and experience similar speeds as he pushed the supercar to the limits around the desert track.
Ever since the Veyron was introduced in 2005, the W16 engine has been the beating heart of every Bugatti. The roadgoing car that brings the W16 era to an end was always destined to be special: exclusive, elegant and powerful. It must be the very best of its kind. This is W16 Mistral: the ultimate roadster.For a car as evocative and important as this, great consideration went into the badge it should wear. Far more than simply a development of the Chiron, the roadster needed a name associated with freedom, elegance and speed. Inspiration came from the mistral, a powerful wind that blows from the Rhône River valley, through the chic towns of the Côte d’Azur in southern France and into the Mediterranean. And with the engine so central to this roadster’s character, it stands side-by-side with this mighty wind: W16 Mistral.
To celebrate the digital release of "Top Gun: Maverick," CinemaBlend's Law Sharma enters the danger zone courtesy of Sky Combat Ace. We got to take control of an Extra 330 for a simulated dogfight, felt G-forces as we did aerial maneuvers, and even got to do a low-level bombing run, just like Tom Cruise and co. do in the movie. You can catch “Top Gun: Maverick” in theaters or on digital on August 23rd. #TopGunMaverick #TopGun #TomCruise SUBSCRIBE to CinemaBlend's channel HERE - https://www.youtube.com/cinemablend For the latest entertainment news and analysis go here: Movie News: http://www.cinemablend.com/news.php/ Movie Reviews: http://www.cinemablend.com/reviews/ TV News: http://www.cinemablend.com/television/ Celebrity News: http://www.cinemablend.com/pop/ Superheroes: http://www.cinemablend.com/superheroes/ Movie Trailers & Film Clips: http://www.cinemablend.com/trailers/
