The goal of the company’s CEO, Mate Rimac, is clear: to exceed the 500 km/h (311 mph) barrier and capture the title of “the fastest vehicle in the world”.

Le Mans champion sat behind the wheel

At the wheel of the Mistral, the famous Le Mans champion, who broke the closed car speed record with the Chiron Super Sport 300+ in 2019 Andy Wallace There was. Wallace, who provided sufficient acceleration on the straight road by expertly using Papenburg’s banked curves, became the architect of this new record. Papenburg pistiAlthough the 4 kilometer straight was not ideal for such speed trials, it allowed Wallace to break the record by carrying higher speeds through banked corners.

An open-top car faces serious aerodynamic disadvantages compared to a closed-top model. In an open-top vehicle, air fills the cabin, creating more turbulence and therefore more friction. The wind circulating inside the vehicle also creates additional resistance.

By the way, the reason why the record is not considered an official record is that the vehicle only made a one-way speed test and has different features than standard production models. Still, the fact that an open-top vehicle can reach these speeds despite its aerodynamic disadvantages is considered an engineering marvel.

Bugatti Mistral, named after the famous wind of southern France, stands out as a limited series of which only 99 units will be produced. Using the 1,578 horsepower infrastructure of Chiron Super Sport, the vehicle has a completely unique roadster body design. The vertical headlight design is inspired by Bugatti’s one-off La Voiture Noire, while the X-shaped rear light bar is inspired by the track-only Bolide. The classic Bugatti “C” shaped air intakes on the side of the vehicle are smaller compared to the Chiron. That’s because the W16 engine breathes through dual ram-air air intakes just behind the seats. So what’s next?
