French ultra-luxury hypercar manufacturer headquartered in Molsheim, built around the legacy of Ettore Bugatti's marque founded in 1909. Owned by Bugatti Rimac since 2021, a joint venture now wholly controlled by Croatia's Rimac Group after it bought out Porsche's remaining stake in September 2026.
The Blanc Éternel is a one-off Bugatti Mistral built by the Sur Mesure division with the Royal Porcelain Manufacture Berlin (KPM), using genuine porcelain across the cabin and engine bay. It runs the 1,600 hp quad-turbo W16, the last road car built around that engine before Bugatti's move to the Tourbillon's naturally aspirated V16.

A consortium led by HOF Capital and BlueFive Capital has bought out Porsche's stakes in both Rimac Group and the Bugatti Rimac joint venture, a deal that closed 9 September 2026. Rimac Group now controls Bugatti Rimac outright, ending Volkswagen and Porsche's ownership connection to Bugatti entirely. Mate Rimac becomes Bugatti's president.
Bugatti's Sur Mesure division and Berlin's KPM porcelain manufacturer have built the W16 Mistral Blanc Éternel, a single, porcelain-trimmed reinterpretation of the 2011 Veyron L'Or Blanc. It carries the 1,600 hp quad-turbo W16, one of the last cars built around the engine before Bugatti moves fully to the Tourbillon's V16.
Bugatti Automobiles was founded by Ettore Bugatti in Molsheim in 1909, building racing and luxury cars until production halted after the Second World War. Volkswagen Group revived the marque in 1998, and Porsche oversaw it until 2021. In November 2021, Bugatti was folded into Bugatti Rimac, a joint venture with Rimac Group taking the majority stake and Porsche AG retaining a minority share; Rimac founder Mate Rimac serves as CEO of the combined company. In September 2026, a consortium led by HOF Capital and BlueFive Capital bought out Porsche’s remaining stake in Bugatti Rimac, ending Volkswagen and Porsche’s ownership connection to Bugatti entirely and leaving Rimac Group in full control. Mate Rimac became Bugatti’s president as part of the deal.
The current lineup is built around the Tourbillon, unveiled in 2024 as the successor to the Chiron, which pairs a naturally aspirated V16 with a hybrid system. The Mistral, an open-top speedster, closed out the era of Bugatti’s quad-turbo 8.0-liter W16 engine, first introduced in the Veyron in 2005 and carried through the Chiron generation.
Every Bugatti is hand-built at the company’s Atelier in Molsheim, the same site where Ettore Bugatti established the marque. Production runs are capped in the dozens per model, and the Sur Mesure personalization division works with clients on one-off and limited-run special editions.
