Bugatti W16 Mistral Blue in 1:18 scale
The Bugatti W16 Mistral Blue (code BUG015C) by MR Collection is a sealed-resin masterpiece that captures the world’s ultimate roadster in breathtaking 1:18 scale. Hand-built in Italy as an official Bugatti licensee, every one of the limited-edition run is numbered and delivered on a plush Alcantara pedestal inside a crystal-clear plexiglass showcase—ready to star in any collection.
Paint & Finish
The open-top body is sculpted with scalpel precision:
Peer inside and the cockpit is a miniature Molsheim atelier:
Flip it over and the sealed chassis still tells the story:
At 25 cm (9.8 in) long, it dominates a shelf yet weighs just 1.1 kg—perfect balance of resin density and hollowed sections. The blue body against the black Alcantara base creates a floating illusion inside the case.Collectors call it “the blue comet”: the moment light hits the curves, the model seems to accelerate while standing still. If you’ve ever stood next to the real Mistral, this MR captures the same goose-bump moment—minus the 420 km/h wind.
Paint & Finish
- A deep, liquid “Mistral Blue” metallic that shifts from sapphire under gallery lights to electric cobalt in sunlight.
- Multi-layer automotive lacquer is wet-sanded and mirror-polished by hand; you can read the carbon weave through the clear-coat on the lower splitter and side skirts.
- Zero orange peel, zero dust nibs—MR’s signature “piano-black” level of reflection.
The open-top body is sculpted with scalpel precision:
- The iconic horseshoe grille is photo-etched stainless steel, each bar only 0.3 mm thick, with microscopic Bugatti script laser-etched on the surround.
- Dual roof scoops (functional on the real car) are hollowed out and lined with mesh grilles you can see through.
- Carbon-fiber weave is printed then over-laid with real clear resin so every strand catches light individually.
- Headlights are multi-piece jewels: individual LED-style lenses set behind a tinted polycarbonate cover; the “C-line” LED signature glows with a faint amber tint.
- 20-spoke wheels are CNC-machined alloy rims wrapped in Pirelli P Zero rubber with readable sidewall lettering and valve stems.
Peer inside and the cockpit is a miniature Molsheim atelier:
- “Light Blue Sport” leather seats are flocked for real suede texture; contrast stitching is 1:1 scale—each stitch hole visible.
- Door panels recreate the real car’s hand-woven leather straps; the aluminum gear lever houses a tiny amber “dancing elephant” visible only under magnification.
- Instrument cluster is a tampo-printed dial with needle-thin hands parked at 0; the central rev counter arcs to 8,000 rpm exactly like the 1:1.
- Carbon dash inlays show directional weave; every switch, vent louver, and seat-belt buckle is a separate part.
Flip it over and the sealed chassis still tells the story:
- Quad-turbo W16 is rendered in full 3-D with platinum-painted intercooler pipes, heat shielding, and exhaust outlets.
- Suspension arms, drive shafts, and ceramic brakes (complete with cross-drilled rotors and blue calipers) are individual pieces.

The W16 MISTRAL has been designed with adventure in mind, in a style that pays homage to one of BUGATTI’s most elegant models, the Type 57 Grand Raid Usine.
