    Overview

    A roadster added at the end

    Bugatti unveiled the Mistral at Monterey Car Week in 2022. The Chiron programme had not been designed around a roadster, so the monocoque and upper structure were reshaped rather than simply opened.

    The name comes from the wind that runs from the Rhône valley to the Mediterranean. Its open cockpit exposes the induction noise from two structural air scoops directly behind the occupants.

    Series production began in 2025 and ended in 2026 at 99 cars. The complete run had been allocated at launch for €5 million net per car.
