Bugatti W16 Mistral Black in 1:18 scale
The Bugatti W16 engine is a groundbreaking marvel in automotive engineering, defining the brand’s unique position in the hypercar industry. This quad-turbocharged, 8.0-liter powerplant features a distinctive "W" configuration, combining two VR8 blocks at a 90-degree angle within a compact design. This arrangement achieves remarkable efficiency, packing 16 cylinders into a space similar to that of a V12, and delivering outputs exceeding 1,500 horsepower. Such immense power allowed models like the Bugatti Veyron and Chiron Super Sport 300+ to set world speed records, with the latter surpassing 304 mph.
The W16 also includes advanced features like adaptive boost-pressure fuel injection and a dual water-circuit cooling system to maintain optimal performance even under extreme conditions. Bugatti’s collaboration with Michelin led to the development of special tires capable of handling speeds over 400 km/h. These innovations position the W16 as a masterpiece of power, precision, and engineering ingenuity.
This model is hand painted and polished to a beautiful finish and has a sealed body. Resin models are
exceptionally accurate of scale, shape and detail. Each model is created using a variety of production
processes, to achieve this precision. They are produced using a composite material referred to in the
industry as “resin”. Photo etched parts, die-cutting, tampo printing and waterslide decals are often used
for the most authentic replication.
