There is an eighteen-liter sixteen cylinder arranged in the letter W and four turbos to go with it. It’s not just anything Mistralbut about a one-off specification full of carbon, built on the desire of a rich customer precisely to achieve a speed record in an open car.
Mistral World Record Edition with 1,600 hp shared with it Chironem super fun that is, on the Papenburg test track in northern Germany, it reached a distance of… Wait, why not on the much more suitable Ehra-Lessien track, where Bugatti grabbed the records around last?

The pilot had to take a different route than usual, but he managed it.
Don’t forget that Bugatti is no longer called Mr. Volkswagen, but Mr Rimac. He no longer has a chance at the test circuit of the German concern.
Anyway, test driver and Le Mans winner Andy Wallace had to go faster into the banked corners due to construction and all the way, but he still managed a top speed of 453.9 km/h independently verified! The standard Mistral can reach 422 km/h.
In addition, we must understand that it was only at the beginning of the millennium that the first one closed Veyron it was only breaking 400 km/h and Koenigsegg was laughing from afar.

So the Mistral, named after the south wind of France, passed through the opening table of the 2016 Hennessey Venom GT Spyder, which he took to 427.4 km/h. Hennessey then beat the Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse with a record of 408.84 km/h.
So, do you think the Americans will take up the challenge and break the record again with Venom? Or will Koenisegg take the “old” Regera somewhere, remove the lid and say “keep my beer”?
