Bugatti Mistral becomes fastest open-top car

The Bugatti Mistral becomes the fastest open-top production car, adding to the company's legacy.

Bugatti Sets New Speed Record with Mistral

Bugatti has announced that its Mistral is now the fastest open-top production car, continuing its legacy of speed. This follows the company's previous record-breaking cars, the Veyron and Chiron, which remain iconic in the automotive world. The four notable models, all part of The Singh Collection, together generate an enormous 5,520 horsepower. CEO Mate Rimac has ambitious plans to push even further, discussing development of a new vehicle aimed at hitting 500 km/h, though challenges remain following Bugatti's separation from Volkswagen Group.

Bugatti's recent achievements mark a major shift in its focus on speed and performance. With the Mistral leading the way, the brand seems to embrace its heritage while setting new benchmarks. The loss of access to the Ehra-Lessien track creates hurdles, yet CEO Rimac’s plans signal a determined strategy to reclaim records. The automotive industry watches closely, knowing that innovation often follows from ambition, especially in hypercars.
