During the four-day event, Bugatti participated in a traditional 1.2-mile hill climb, driving the W16 Mistral and the Bolide in the event each day. The W16 Mistral will be the last Bugatti to use the W16 engine. The open-roof Mistral hypercar produces 1,578 horsepower from the 16-cylinder engine. The Bugatii Bolide is designed as a track-ready car for drivers with no racing experience. The Bolide also appeared at The Goodwood Festival of Speed in 2023.

What is the fastest Bugatti?

What you need to know about Bugattis and speed

Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+

The idea of a 'fast car' is, more or less, a highly subjective opinion. Someone who has spent the majority of their life driving around in an aging minivan might get into any number of JDM cars from the 1990s and consider them incredibly fast. Likewise, someone who has ridden nothing but public transportation for a considerable amount of time might climb into one of the best muscle cars of all time and believe that they have hit their limit for speed.

But, beyond muscle cars and even supercars, there is another stratosphere where the apex predators of the autoverse roam. The hypercar world is beyond mere mortals and their pithy 401Ks. This realm is reserved for superstar athletes, mega-celebrities, hedge fund managers, royalty, and the occasional PowerBall winner. And just like the handful of career arcs that lead to the kind of wealth it takes to cut a check for $3 million at a car dealership, there are only a select number of manufacturers that dare to enter the high-stakes game of the ultra-rich. While McLaren could be said to have created the first hypercar with its stupefyingly fast F1 in the 1990s, since then, companies like Pagani and Koenigsegg have jockeyed for pole position among the stars, but it is Bugatti that currently stands as king of the hill. But which Bugatti is the fastest of the fast? Read on to find out...

Triumph intros next-gen 2025 Speed Twin 1200 and Speed Twin 1200 RS

From a distance the new Triumphs resemble 1960s models, and that's a good thing

2025 Triumph Speed Twin 1200 and Speed Twin 1200 RS tucked in riding on a curved road through farm land.

Two new Triumph Speed Twin 1200 motorcycles will hit the streets in December 2004. They will have chassis upgrades, refreshed styling, and more power than the previous generation. Triumph continues to balance classical style that doesn't drift far from earlier models in appearance with the latest performance and safety technology.
Why the Speed Twins are important in the Triumph line-up

Triumph produces various motorcycle styles, but the Speed Twin belongs to the brand's Modern Classics line. Like the Bonnevilles, Scramblers, and Thruxtons, the Modern Classics resemble the iconic Triumph models from the late 1950s through the 1970s. These bikes tap into the nostalgia and heritage that make motorcycles a passion-driven purchase, with the classic Triumph legacy still having a powerful influence.

You won't confuse the Bugatti Baby II Tourbillon Edition with Bugatti's recently released Tourbillion hypercar. Still, this limited model's beauty is in the details, which look back to the iconic Bugatti Type 35 race car with Bugatti Tourbillon-era design influences.
