Bugatti Unveils One-off W16 Mistral ‘Blanc Éternel’ Made From White Porcelain

Bugatti, in partnership with Berlin-based KPM, unveils one-off W16 Mistral ‘Blanc Éternel’ made from white porcelain. 

Created through the Bugatti Sur Mesure, the ‘Blanc Éternel’ is a porcelain-inspired interpretation of the W16 Mistral open-top hypercar.

Featuring a black-and-white paint job, the ‘Blanc Éternel’ features fine porcelain accents across both its exterior bodywork and interior cabin.

Bugatti and the Berlin-based Königliche Porzellan-Manufaktur (KPM) have unveiled the W16 Mistral ‘Blanc Éternel’, their latest collaboration following the legendary Veyron Grand Sport L’Or Blanc (French for ‘White Gold’) unveiled in 2011.

Created through the Bugatti Sur Mesure customization program, the ‘Blanc Éternel’ is a porcelain-inspired interpretation of the W16 Mistral open-top hypercar. Much like the Veyron Grand Sport L’Or Blanc, it features fine porcelain accents across both its exterior bodywork and interior cabin.

“Our ambition for this unique commission saw us dive deeply into the essence of the Veyron Grand Sport ‘L’Or Blanc’, and write its next chapter through the entirely digital design language of the W16 Mistral,” said Frank Heyl, Bugatti Design Director.

Featuring an eye-catching black-and-white paint job, the ‘Blanc Éternel’ stands out with its EB emblem, fuel and oil caps, and two engine-cover inlays—all finished in pristine white porcelain details created by KPM.

Inside the cockpit, the white leather surfaces feature striking black-painted lines. Addition, the speaker cover plate, two kneepad inlays, gear-shifter shells, center-console armrest inlay and the window-lifter buttons are crafted from precious porcelain.

Still powering the W16 Mistral ‘Blanc Éternel’ is the brand’s now discontinued 8.0-liter quad-turbo W16, which propelled the base car to a record-breaking top-speed of 453.91 km/h (282 mph) – making Mistral the fastest open-top car in the world.

“I am proud and excited that, after 15 years, this collaboration has once again brought together two of my greatest passions: porcelain and automobiles. KPM and Bugatti represent the perfect fusion of master craftsmanship and engineering excellence,” said, Jörg Woltmann, Owner of KPM.
