Bugatti, which announced its departure from the pursuit of records in 2019, has surprised again with its new record. The joint venture Bugatti Rimac has already broken a milestone, with the Mistral becoming the fastest convertible in the world.

Alongside it are the Veyron 16.4 Super Sport, Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse, and Chiron Super Sport 300+, all part of The Singh Collection from an Indian client. Together, these hypercars produce a total of 5,520 horsepower, with the Veyron delivering 1,183 hp, while the Chiron and Mistral each produce 1,577 hp.

These cars are not only powerful but also historic. The Veyron Super Sport reached 431.07 km/h, while the Grand Sport Vitesse achieved 408.84 km/h. The Chiron and Mistral reached 490.48 km/h and 453.91 km/h, respectively. These records place Bugatti at the forefront of high-performance production cars, continuing the brand’s legacy of innovation and speed.

Now, Bugatti is focusing on achieving 500 km/h, a milestone the company aims to break with the new V-16 engine in the Tourbillon. However, this will require time and further developments, especially with the loss of access to the Ehra-Lessien test track following Volkswagen’s departure.

The record-breaking performance of the Mistral was achieved at the Papenburg track in Germany, showcasing Bugatti’s ongoing evolution and the challenges it faces in maintaining its leadership position in the hypercar world.
