Overview
- Bugatti revealed the Destrier online on August 6, 2026, ahead of public showings at the Quail on August 14 and the Pebble Beach Concours on August 16.
- The one‑off is built on the Bolide’s carbon‑fiber monocoque and keeps the 8.0‑liter quad‑turbo W16 rated at 1,578 horsepower.
- Designers removed the Bolide’s large racing wings and splitters to create a lower, more sculptural body that Bugatti says stands about 1 meter tall.
- The Destrier features bespoke finishes such as multi‑layer ‘Sapphire Celeste’ paint, hand‑hammered brightwork in the engine bay, Ambre Voyageur leather and a 3D‑knitted textile with woven copper, while the commissioning client, sale price and full performance figures remain undisclosed.
- As the third Programme Solitaire commission following the Brouillard and F.K.P. Hommage, the Destrier underscores Bugatti’s continued offer of ultra‑personalized, collector‑focused one‑offs and shows the W16 will live on in private commissions even as its use in limited production models has been scaled back.
