The Bugatti W16 Mistral “Fly Bug” represents one of the most intricate and deeply personalized creations ever developed under Bugatti Sur Mesure. Crafted through a close collaboration between Bugatti’s design team and a dedicated collector, this one-off masterpiece continues a unique lineage inspired by the beauty of the natural world.
SAVE YOUR EYES, PRESS PLAY TO LISTEN
Following iconic commissions like the Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse, Bugatti Chiron, and Bugatti Divo, the “Fly Bug” takes inspiration from the dragonfly—an embodiment of elegance, precision, and effortless speed. This vision is translated into a distinctive ellipse pattern that flows across the exterior, intensifying toward the rear and blending seamlessly into the car’s sculpted surfaces.
Finished in a bespoke “Dragonfly Blue” paint, the surface shifts between blue and turquoise depending on light and perspective, mirroring the iridescent wings of its natural inspiration. This level of detail extends into the cabin, where advanced material layering techniques create a three-dimensional geometric interior, perfectly aligned with the exterior theme.
A key highlight is the integration of the iconic Bugatti Macaron into the ellipse pattern on the bodywork—an unprecedented achievement requiring extreme precision in design and execution. Inside, the gear selector features the legendary “Dancing Elephant,” paying tribute to Rembrandt Bugatti and reinforcing the connection between art, heritage, and engineering.
Developed over several months, the “Fly Bug” is more than a hypercar—it is a moving piece of art. It represents the pinnacle of bespoke automotive craftsmanship, where storytelling, design, and performance converge into a singular expression of identity.
