The Bite Magazine - Spring/Summer 2026 - Issue 39

bitecars Within the gear selector, the famous Dancing Elephant takes its place, a nod to Rembrandt Bugatti and his sculp- tural tributes to the natural world. It is a symbol that res- onates deeply with the collector’s appreciation for nature’s forms, tying the car to the broader lineage of Bugatti art- istry. From final design sign-off to the finished car, the Fly Bug required months of dedicated work. Projects of this complexity demand technical mastery and emotional en- durance, a commitment to perfection that defines the Sur Mesure team. Every curve, every surface, every motif had to be executed flawlessly. More than a vehicle, the W16 Mistral Fly Bug becomes a culmination. For the Berlin team, it stands as anoth- er timeless masterpiece, showing what can be achieved when design is treated as a dialogue rather than a direc- tive. For the collector, it brings a deeply personal creative journey to its natural conclusion, completing a quartet of cars united by the beauty of the natural world. And for Bugatti, it reinforces the Sur Mesure philosophy that the most extraordinary creations arise when imagination is given room to fly. www.bugatti.com/en/models/w16-mistral
