Bugatti Mistral

The data lists one generation and one version, so this piece is a buyer’s comparison against that single set of numbers — not a second overview.

If you are choosing a Bugatti Mistral, the catalogue does not give you a ladder of trims. There is 1 generation (from 2024-01-01, still in production) and 1 version: 8.0 i W16 DSG. Body type is Targa.

# Bugatti Mistral: which version to buy

If you are choosing a Bugatti Mistral, the catalogue does not give you a ladder of trims. There is 1 generation (from 2024-01-01, still in production) and 1 version: 8.0 i W16 DSG. Body type is Targa. The buying question is therefore not “which Mistral” in the sense of several engines, but whether this one specification matches what you need, because every measured figure in the file belongs to that name.

There is no second generation to wait for in these data, no restyling row, and no parallel body. A search for “2025 Bugatti Mistral specs” or “2026 Bugatti Mistral specs” still points at the same generation and the same 8.0 i W16 DSG line: start 2024-01-01, stop not measured.

Generations: what changed (and what did not)

1 generation (2024-01-01–ongoing) is a Targa with 1 modification. Restyling is not listed, so it is not a separate generation. Compared with a multi-generation catalogue, there is no “earlier” Mistral with less power, a different gearbox, or another drive layout. What you buy is this generation’s only version.

Bugatti Mistral specs: the only version on the sheet

Exact name as in the database (use this string; do not rename it):

Fuel grade in the file: 98. Induction: Direct injection (direct). Valves per cylinder: 4. Engine location: not measured. Compression ratio: not measured. Bore × stroke: not measured.

Those columns are the whole mechanical choice. There is no second row with a different horsepower under the same name, so you do not need a “same badge, two outputs” split.

Engine: power per litre and what the W16 is doing in this version

8.0 i W16 DSG is the only engine in the model. Displacement 7993 cc, 16 cylinders, W-shaped, Turbo, Gasoline, 1600 hp (1176 kW), 1600 Nm.

Arithmetic on those figures (allowed because both numbers are in the file):

• 1600 hp ÷ 7.993 L ≈ 200.2 hp per litre
• 1600 Nm ÷ 7.993 L ≈ 200.2 Nm per litre
• 1600 hp and 1600 Nm sit at a 1:1 hp-to-Nm ratio on the published peaks
• 1176 kW is the same peak as 1600 hp, expressed in kilowatts; it is not a second power level

rpm for peak power: not measured. rpm for peak torque: not measured. Without those, you cannot rank this version by where in the rev range the peaks arrive — only by the peaks themselves.

Engine sound, engine-bay layout, and “motor” character are not in the data. Cylinder count and layout are not inferred: they are 16 and W-shaped as labelled.

Performance and economy (mpg, 0–100, top speed)

For 8.0 i W16 DSG:

• Acceleration 0–100: not measured
• Top speed: 420 (the only performance number given)
• Urban consumption: not measured
• Highway consumption: not measured
• Combined consumption / mpg: not measured
• CO2: not measured
• Eco class: not measured

A 0–60 or 0–100 comparison between versions cannot be written: there is one version and the sprint figure is not measured. Fuel economy searches (mpg, fuel economy) have the same answer: not measured, for city, highway, and mixed. Do not treat a blank as “this car has no consumption”; the file simply did not record it.

The one measured road figure is top speed 420. With a single version, there is no “slower” Mistral in the table and no extra-speed package in these data.

Dimensions, weight, tank, wheels

For 8.0 i W16 DSG:

• Kerb weight: not measured
• Gross weight: not measured
• Ground clearance: not measured
• Fuel tank: not measured
• Wheel sizes: not measured
• Width and other exterior dimensions: not measured

Weight per horsepower cannot be calculated: kerb weight is not measured, so kg per hp is not measured. Curb-weight and “weight kg” queries have nothing to subtract or divide. Chassis items that are measured: front suspension Independent, spring; rear suspension Independent, spring; front brakes Ventilated disc; rear brakes Disc ventilated (label as in the file). Those do not differ by version because there is only one version.

Which version to choose

Choose 8.0 i W16 DSG because it is the only modification listed. There is no quieter, lighter, or cheaper engine in this catalogue, and no second generation that changed displacement, drive, or gearbox.

What this version is, in numbers you can check:

1. Power: 1600 hp / 1176 kW — the catalogue maximum and the catalogue minimum, because they are the same cell. 2. Torque: 1600 Nm — equal to the horsepower figure, not a second tune. 3. Capacity: 7993 cc — about 200.2 hp/L and 200.2 Nm/L. 4. Layout: 16 cylinders, W-shaped, Turbo, Direct injection (direct), fuel Gasoline / 98. 5. Drivetrain: Robotic 7-speed, AWD — not an optional extra on another row; it is the only transmission and the only drive. 6. Body: Targa only; no coupe/roadster fork in the generation list. 7. Speed: top speed 420; 0–100 not measured. 8. Running costs in the file: mpg, tank, CO2 — not measured. 9. Mass and size: kerb, gross, clearance, wheels — not measured, so you cannot pick a “lighter” Mistral from these data.

There is no “extra money buys X hp” comparison: no second output, no pair of identically named versions with 1600 vs another hp. Versus another Bugatti name (Tourbillon, Divo) is outside this file; those models are not rows here, so they are not ranked.

Mansory, Blanc Éternel, Caroline, production numbers, interior trim, and list price are not in the data. They cannot decide the version. The mechanical decision the catalogue can support is binary: take 8.0 i W16 DSG in 1 generation Targa form, or do not take a Mistral from this sheet.

Reliability and problems

Reliability, common faults, and service intervals are not measured in the launch data. Do not infer them from the W16 layout or from the Robotic gearbox. What is specified is hardware: Turbo, Direct injection (direct), AWD, ventilated discs front and rear, independent spring suspension at both ends.

Short buyer’s checklist (still one version)

• Need 1600 hp and 1600 Nm from 7993 cc Gasoline 16 W-shaped Turbo: 8.0 i W16 DSG is the match.
• Need a measured 0–100, mpg, kerb weight, or tank size before you buy: those fields are not measured — the file will not close that gap.
• Need a later generation or a restyle: 1 generation only, stop not measured.
• Need two-wheel drive or a different gear count: not offered; AWD and 7 Robotic only.

That is the whole choice: one name, one set of measured peaks, and a long list of parameters honestly marked not measured rather than omitted.
