Bugatti has revealed the W16 Mistral Blanc Éternel, a single, one-off car built by its Sur Mesure personalization division together with the Königliche Porzellan-Manufaktur Berlin (KPM), Germany’s royal porcelain manufacturer. The project reinterprets the Veyron L’Or Blanc from 2011 and stands as one of the last cars ever built around Bugatti’s W16 engine.
Porcelain throughout the cabin and engine bay
Genuine porcelain, fired and finished by KPM, appears across the car: on the EB emblems, the fuel and oil filler caps, trim in the engine bay, the gear selector, the speaker surrounds, and the armrests. The white body carries hand-painted black lines that trace the car’s digital surface geometry, a detail meant to put the design process on display on the exterior itself.
The last W16
Underneath, the Mistral runs Bugatti’s familiar hypercar hardware: an 8.0-liter quad-turbocharged W16 producing 1,600 hp and 1,600 Nm of torque, sent through all four wheels. Bugatti quotes 0 to 100 km/h in 2.5 seconds and a top speed above 420 km/h. As an open-top speedster, the Mistral has no roof or B-pillar, leaving the W16 visible in the tail.
Blanc Éternel exists as a single example and marks one of Bugatti’s last special editions built around the W16, ahead of the brand’s full move to the Tourbillon, its new hypercar built around a naturally aspirated V16.
