The car, named following the mistral – a powerful wind that blows from the Rhone Valley, through the chic cities of the Côte d’Azur in southern France and into the Mediterranean – is equipped with an 8-liter W16 with four turbines. The version of the motor, called Thor, developing 1600 horsepower and 1600 Nm of torque, was previously used on the Chiron Super Sport 300+ and Centodieci. According to the brand, the engine will help the W16 Mistral achieve its goal of becoming the fastest roadster in the world. The circulation of the hypercar will be only 99 copies at a price of 5,000,000 euros, and deliveries to customers should begin in 2024. All cars are already sold out.
