Bugatti Drives Your Hypercar to 186 MPH Before Delivery
The Chiron era may be coming to an end, but Bugatti still has interesting details to share about the Mistral, the last of the W-16 breed. The 8.0-liter, quad-turbo machine broke cover three years ago as a €5 million roadster limited to 99 units, all of which were sold before the official premiere. Deliveries to customers didn't begin until last February, and now we're learning more about what happens from the moment the car is built until it's delivered to its rightful owner. Each Mistral undergoes rigorous testing for at least 248.5 miles (400 kilometers) to ensure everything is up to spec. If any issues are discovered, the car returns to the shop to sort out 'any irregularities, regardless of how minor.' It then heads back on the road for an additional 31 miles (50 kilometers), or more if needed. But that's not the most interesting part.

It's part of a testing procedure to verify the ESP and ABS systems during emergency braking. As you can imagine, this isn't done on public roads. The company utilizes a section of an airfield at Colmar Airport in northeastern France. But the Mistral is capable of much more at full tilt. Last year, it reached 282 mph (453.9 km/h) at the Papenburg test track in Germany, making it the world's fastest open-top car. That's actually faster than Bugatti initially claimed, as the Chiron roadster was said to top out at 261 mph (420 km/h). Its predecessor, the Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse, could 'only' hit 254 mph (408.8 km/h). Fun fact: the Mistral's top speed is only achievable with the roof removed. Bugatti's test drive involves far more than going fast and slamming on the brakes. From the seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission to the removable roof mechanism, everything is thoroughly evaluated. Only three people are qualified to test the Mistral before it's handed over to its owner.

Bugatti will start Tourbillon deliveries in 2026, strictly as a coupe, though a follow-up roadster seems like an educated guess. The Chiron's successor might be even faster, as company CEO Mate Rimac has hinted that with the right tires, the new V-16 hypercar could break the 500 km/h barrier. That's 310.6 mph .

Cancer Daily Horoscope Today, June 30, 2025: Go deeper than the noise around you
The world may feel loud today, but your peace lies in quiet attention. This is not the day to react to every message, post, or emotion around you. Choose stillness.

Let others rush or judge—your work is to stay centered. When you honour depth over distraction, you find truth. Cancer Love Horoscope Today In relationships, less talk may mean more connection today. Deep eye contact, a shared silence, or a simple gesture might carry more meaning than words. If partnered, let your presence speak. If single, you may find a deeper connection by simply being real and quiet in someone's company. Avoid performing love—feel it genuinely. Your sensitivity is not weakness; it is your strength. Love today is about subtle energy, not loud expression. What is quiet may actually be most sincere. Cancer Career Horoscope Today At work, the most important progress today may happen inside you, not in your tasks. A small realization can shift your focus from approval to purpose.
