The feat was accomplished on November 9 at the ATP Automotive Testing Papenburg track in Germany, piloted by Bugatti\u2019s official test driver and Le Mans winner, Andy Wallace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The W16 Mistral builds on Bugatti\u2019s legacy of record-breaking speed. Notable milestones include the Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse\u2019s 408.84 km\/h (253 mph) in 2013 and the Chiron Super Sport 300+\u2019s 490.48 km\/h (304 mph) closed-cockpit record in 2019. The event was attended by Mate Rimac, CEO of Bugatti Rimac, alongside Bugatti\u2019s senior team and the vehicle\u2019s owner. The bespoke $14.8 million USD W16 Mistral features a striking black carbon body accented with \u201cJet Orange,\u201d a nod to Bugatti\u2019s previous record-setting models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Celebrating the milestone, the owner, a collector from Punjab, India, experienced the car\u2019s prowess firsthand, joining Wallace for a high-speed run. This W16 Mistral joins an exclusive lineup of Bugatti record cars in The Singh Collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\"
