And now, the company is all set as it has unveiled its newest models for 2024. Apart from the W16 Mistral and Bolide, Bugatti CEO Stefan Winkleman has revealed three new models as this legendary automaker’s latest offerings:

- Bugatti Chiron (or Chiron’s successor)
Each of these models boasts groundbreaking design, impressive specifications, modernization at its peak, and a thrill you can’t get enough of.
So, are you ready to explore this globally acclaimed European automaker’s unparalleled craftsmanship and engineering prowess?
Let’s begin.
1. Bugatti Mistral
Before Bugatti’s partnership with Rimac (a Croatian boutique automaker that has taken the world by storm in recent years and has established itself as a strong force in electric mobility) can create some future electrified cars, the company’s marvelous W16 engine still has some new heights to conquer.
The present-year Mistral is a hyper-roadster, and it will be the final car to come with Bugatt’s iconic 8-liter quad-turbo W16 engine under its hood. This open-air model will be the company’s final road-going model featuring the W16 engine.
The latest Mistral embodies elegance, speed, and power, channeling 1578 hp and 1180 pound-feet of torque. The exact figures for this supercar are not yet available. However, the company’s computer simulations state that it can attain a top speed of 250+ mph and accelerate from zero to 60 mph in 2.4 seconds.
In addition, this car is the world’s fastest open-top production car. Only 99 units will be built, but surprisingly, you can’t get any of them as they have already been pre-booked and each sold for €5 million ($5,379,750).
The 2024 Bugatti Mistral is a great sendoff for an outstanding engine that had been the soul of its French automaker for nearly two decades.
- Base price: €5,000,000 ($5,379,750)

2. Bugatti Bolide
The present Bolide, unveiled in 2021, is a track-only beast mainly focused on racing. This one, too, is built around an astonishing 8.0L Quad-Turbo W16 engine, channeling 1578 hp and 1180 lb-ft of torque.
Bolide is ultra-lightweight, featuring active aerodynamics throughout, as no baggage compartments exist. This light feature makes it slightly faster. It can accelerate from zero to 60 mph in only 2.2 seconds and attain a maximum speed of over 300 mph.
This Chiron-based car is also a limited build with only 40 units, each costing approximately $4,308,000. However, all of these units were sold within a week of their announcement for sale, with most of them to invitation-only customers.

While these two are the only newest Bugatti models scheduled to hit the market in 2024, the company has introduced three other models that will begin a new era in the history of this French automaker.

4. Bugatti Chiron
The brand’s next offering for its fanatics is the Chiron or its successor. Chiron is a supercar famous for its extraordinary power, and this year, the company will unveil its updated version, which is all set to elevate the nameplate to an exceptional level.
Chiron’s successor will feature aerodynamic enhancements and technological advancements to further enrich its handling and performance.
Under the hood, there will be an all-new hybridized V16 engine. This incorporation of hybrid technology will keep the new Chiron stable and composed even at mind-blowing speeds. According to swirling speculations, it will be equipped with a state-of-the-art hybrid powertrain.
Keeping the speculations aside, the new hybrid system will be here, and it will surely enhance performance, reduce emissions, and offer no compromise with the car’s mind-boggling speed. The interior of this vehicle will be a testament to luxury and craftsmanship. It is filled with impeccable material, diligent attention to detail, and a focus on driver comfort and ergonomics.
This upcoming vehicle is going to be an extraordinary combination of power, innovation, and luxury. It will be revealed to the world within the first half of this year; however, its production will not commence until 2026 as the company has some prior commitments to fulfill.
5. Bugatti Veyron
The electrification of the world is real. The company is all set to introduce a fully electric version of its iconic model, Veyron, sometime in the current calendar year.
The launch of this newest Bugatti Veyron will mark the company’s significant step towards a sustainable future while preserving its luxury and performance legacy. Veyron was introduced in 2005, and it shortly became a groundbreaking car known for its astonishing top speed and record-breaking performance.
With modernization and electrification at their peak, the company is reimagining the Veyron model. With this step, the brand will finally join prestigious automakers like Porsche and Ferrari, which have already started embracing electric powertrains to create high-performance EVs.
The package includes instant torque, lightning-fast acceleration, and a seamless driving experience. The electric powertrain is said to offer enhanced agility and handling. The absence of a traditional combustion engine allows precise weight distribution and dynamic control systems that can adapt to various driving conditions.
To make the vehicle more sustainable, the company is said to feature cutting-edge battery technology on the model that will provide ample range for spirited driving while minimizing environmental impact. When combined with fast charging capabilities, this new car will offer its drivers extended driving enjoyment in a market where models like Tesla Roadster 2.0 and Rimac C2 are already gaining people’s attention.
Thus, it is safe to say that this new car will provide a driving experience that combines the exhilaration of a supercar with the refinement of an electric vehicle. This future car seems to be a harmonious blend of tradition and progress, promising an electrifying future for the brand.
Like every other premium automaker, Bugatti has finally realized the importance of electric engines under the hoods of its car. The company is now adapting to evolving market trends while preserving its legacy of excellence from its gasoline, hybrid, and electric new vehicles.
