Bugatti Unveils One-Off Mistral 'Blanc Éternel' Adorned With KPM Porcelain

It pairs KPM porcelain trim with the Mistral’s unchanged 1,578 hp W16 to serve as a ceremonial capstone to Bugatti’s 16-cylinder era.

Overview

  • Bugatti revealed the one-off W16 Mistral called Blanc Éternel in late June as a Sur Mesure commission created with Königliche Porzellan-Manufaktur Berlin (KPM).
  • KPM handcrafted real porcelain for multiple exterior and interior pieces including the EB emblems, fuel and oil caps, engine-cover inlays, gear selector, speaker covers, window switches, and center-console inserts.
  • Designers hand-masked dozens of fine black lines across the white body and leather to trace the Mistral’s underlying digital surface geometry, turning CAD wireframe marks into visible surface art.
  • The Blanc Éternel keeps the Mistral’s 8.0-liter quad-turbo W16 and seven-speed DSG with 1,578 hp, 0–62 mph in 2.4 seconds and a 273 mph top speed, and arrives after the capped 99-unit Mistral production run recently finished.
  • Bugatti and KPM also announced a 1,000-piece commemorative porcelain cup series and positioned the car as a collectible finale to the W16 era while the marque prepares a V16 hybrid direction for future models.
