Bugatti W16 Mistral tours Tokyo

MANILA: Following a world tour that started in North America, Europe, and the Middle East, the Bugatti W16 Mistral has now arrived in Asia.

The ultimate roadster from Bugatti made its most recent stop in Tokyo, the most populated city in the world.

Tokyo is a dynamic metropolitan area renowned for its state-of-the-art technology, extensive historical background, and rich culture. Tokyo is a city that successfully combines the traditional with the modern. Tourists can also visit temples that are more than a thousand years old and gaze at the world's tallest buildings. The Bugatti W16 Mistral fits in perfectly, embracing more than a century of Bugatti heritage while incorporating the latest advancements in automotive design.

The Bugatti W16 Mistral visited the Kanda Myojin Shrine, one of the oldest temples in Tokyo. Its unique architectural style is timeless in the midst of the modern metropolis. Like in the Bugatti W16 Mistral, years of tradition and cutting-edge technology seamlessly collide.

The Bugatti W16 Mistral also passed by Oishi Park, with Lake Kawaguchi in front and Mount Fuji in the background. The scenery highlighted the Bugatti W16 Minstral's eye-catching rear treatment, accentuated by the X-themed taillight design.

The Bugatti W16 Mistral also made a stop at the renowned Gora Kadan. Formerly serving as a retreat for the imperial family, Gora Kadan is a harmonious blend of nature, tradition, and luxury that awakens all five senses. In a similar vein, the Bugatti W16 Mistral is molded by nature, rooted in tradition, with the Rembrandt Bugatti sculpture of the “Dancing Elephant” concealed beneath the gearstick, and designed to thrill.

In 2021, official Bugatti partner Sky Group, which has decades of expertise in satisfying its clients' needs and desires through its portfolio of top luxury brands, officially inaugurated the Bugatti Tokyo showroom. The Bugatti W16 Mistral was the centerpiece of the showroom, and clients were treated to an evening at a nearby Michelin-star restaurant.

“Tokyo and Japan have always been a natural home for Bugatti. Ours is a brand that is guided by our traditions but always driven by the very latest advancements in technology, engineering and design. The W16 Mistral is an ideal showcase of our values, evolving from a long lineage of beautiful Bugatti roadsters, but forever pushing forward with incomparable levels of performance and luxury. It’s a great honor to explore the sights of Japan and share our latest creation with the international clientele of Bugatti Tokyo, many of whom are among the most passionate Bugatti collectors in the world. In fact, the number of Bugatti hyper sports cars delivered in Japan is one of the highest for Bugatti worldwide,” Bugatti Middle East and Asia Regional Director Kostas Psarris stated.

The remarkable 1,600ps W16 quad-turbo Bugatti W16 Mistral is the W16 engine's final road-going model. It combines unmatched Bugatti performance with a classic style that pays homage to the brand's history while being distinguished in its modernity.

The Bugatti W16 Mistral will continue its world tour in Singapore.

Due to the high demand from Bugatti collectors around the world, all 99 units of the Bugatti W16 Mistral were sold out right away. Car customization will start this year in Molsheim, France.
