BUGATTI W16 MISTRAL DAZZLES IN SINGAPORE

BUGATTI W16 MISTRAL DESLUMBRA EN SINGAPUR

Ubicada en el estrecho entre el Océano Índico y el Mar de China Meridional, la isla de Singapur, junto con sus 64 ensenadas más pequeñas, es un centro espiritual donde el este se encuentra con el oeste, la naturaleza se encuentra con la tecnología y donde el pasado se entrelaza con el mañana.

En una ciudad de edificios imponentes, obras maestras arquitectónicas y patrimonio atemporal, el W16 Mistral1 se integra a la perfección. En este sentido, y al igual que Singapur celebra su herencia dentro de un entorno implacablemente modernizado, el equipo de diseño de Bugatti se inspiró en la elegancia atemporal del Type 57 Roadster Grand Raid de 1934 en su diseño del W16 Mistral.

Conocida como la ‘Ciudad Jardín’, Singapur personifica el espíritu de latitud, formando una unión irresistible con la libertad total y el sentido de la aventura que proviene de estar al volante del último roadster de Bugatti. Mientras estuvo en la isla, el W16 Mistral se detuvo en lugares icónicos y sitios venerados, conectando acertadamente el hiperdeportivo con su preciado entorno. El icónico Gardens by the Bay, la enorme obra maestra de excelencia hortícola de renombre mundial en Marina Bay Waterfront se ha convertido en una parte esencial de la experiencia de Singapur, con el parque natural de biodiversidad de 250 acres.

El bullicioso Distrito Central de Negocios, un centro financiero de Asia, consta de imponentes rascacielos que se sientan armoniosamente uno al lado del otro con el tranquilo entorno natural de Singapur. Lo viejo se encuentra con las noticias, el este se fusiona con el oeste; el Templo de la Reliquia del Diente de Buda y la Sala de Conciertos Victoria contrastan maravillosamente parte de la diversidad que hace de Singapur una isla especial y única. El W16 Mistral, tan diverso en carácter y capacidad, encaja a la perfección aquí.

Kostas Psarris, Director Regional, Oriente Medio y Asia de Bugatti, dijo: “El mundo ha mirado con admiración cómo Singapur ha desarrollado una economía tan fuerte y se ha convertido en un lugar verdaderamente envidiable para vivir, y no sorprende que ahora sea el hogar de tantos individuos de patrimonio neto ultra alto. Sabemos por nuestra sala de exhibición recientemente inaugurada que hay un gran interés en Bugatti en el sudeste asiático, por lo que es un verdadero privilegio poder traer el W16 Mistral aquí. Al igual que con el propio Singapur, este increíble automóvil demuestra que no hay límite para lo que se puede lograr cuando existe un deseo insaciable de triunfar”.

La última parada del W16 Mistral en la ciudad fue para un evento privado para clientes en el Bugatti Singapore Showroom . Inaugurada en 2021 como parte de una asociación con Wearnes, un minorista líder en automóviles de lujo establecido en 1906, la hermosa sala de exposición inmersiva fue el lugar de exhibición ideal para el W16 Mistral, con muchos invitados asombrados por el diseño elegante y atemporal del roadster.

Los 99 ejemplares del W16 Mistral se vendieron antes de que se revelara formalmente, y las personalizaciones comienzan este año, con entregas previstas para 2024.

El Bugatti W16 Mistral captura el corazón y el alma de Singapur, una ciudad estado futurista e influyente inmersa en una cultura llena de tradición y valores.

SO, WHAT IS AN ULTRA CAR?

What if… someone told you, that there was a vehicle built with technology of the future, made with a 3D printer, using materials from aerospace technology applied for the first time in a car?

What if… What if…… What if…..

Chaos – Automotive – by Spyros Panopoulos

Words cannot describe the emotions and the adrenaline rush that this masterpiece of technology elicits in its driver. It is not just a car, it is the epitome of the future, the next step in automotive evolution, a work of art, a masterpiece.

It is the first Ultra car proudly made in Greece, the country where culture originated, and the future is born.

INTERIORS

2 built in to the monocoque Seats Carbon fiber and Zylon with Alcantara, for lower center of gravity and perfect Roll and Pitch setup (Roll = The angle between the car’s body and a longitudinal axis. Roll is caused by centrifugal forces and “uneven” track surfaces.) – (Pitch – The angle between the car’s body and a transverse axis. Pitch is caused by the car’s acceleration or deceleration. It is most noticeable under heavy braking, with the car tending to angle forward.

Billet 7 axis point milled X design billet Tennalumsuper alloy Ultra-strength – Ultimate alloy (683Mpa yield strength), has the highest mechanical strength of all commercially available aluminum alloys (2.5 times stronger than 6061, and 35% stronger than 7075) and exceeds that of many steels. In fact, its yield strength is approaching that of pre-hardened (HRC 26-32) 41XX and 400 series stainless steels but at a third of the weight. In strength-to-weight ratio, Tennalum out performs nearly all other engineering alloys in existence (33% better strength-to-weight performance than 7075, and 28% better performance than 6Al-4V Grade 5 Titanium)

Tennalum super alloy, Sinker EDM
Sinker EDM technique uses an energized shaped electrode in a submerged bath of dielectric fluid to machine conductive metals and offers an efficient manufacturing method to produce complex part details that are difficult to machine by other methods, like 5 axis machines etc. Sinker spark erosion machines are fitted with an Intelligent Speed Power Generator (ISPG) which, using patented technologies, establishes new standards in surface quality, material removal and accuracy of form. Electrode wear is reduced in all machining operations, from roughing to finishing, with copper or graphite electrodes. Productivity shows an average increase of 30 percent, and can even reach 100 percent for pre-milled forms. Even in the presence of deep, narrow cavities, with poor flushing conditions, a 50 percent increase in erosion speed can be obtained with no increase in electrode wear. It appears that the more complex the piston design is, the more high quality of surface.

AERODYNAMICS

Particular emphasis has been placed on the study and design of aerodynamics, as they are two factors on which we have relied for the construction of the entire car, making it currently the best vehicle after the F1.

At speeds over 500km on track conditions, in order to achieve the ultimate turning time, everything must be perfectly designed and we must exhaust all room for improvement.

The front spoiler gives total downforce 2.780 N and total Drag 408 N and Aerodynamic efficiency: Ci / Cd = 6,813, numbers and proportions that can be found only in F1 cars.

The floor is also innovatively designed, in order to take advantage of the Venturi effect, i.e the difference in pressure and speed of the upper part of the car with the lower one and to minimize the lifting of the car and push it to the ground with greater force in combination with the large diffuser.

The vertical fins under the floor help keep the laminar airflow (air flowing in a smooth path) out the back of the vehicle, without these vertical fins the air can become turbulent (airflow crossing directions). Laminar airflow increases efficiency as turbulent air decreases efficiency by creating drag.

As for the front surface and the way the air is transferred from the front to the back, the design helps so that the air hugs the vehicle and passes almost all through the front of the wings, around the monocoque and comes out into the back airways with a tendency to push the car to the ground. The rear air ducts have airflow Volume / 16.990m3 / HR and are capable of supplying horsepower over 3.000 horsepower.

Polestar Precept -The near future of automotive

Polestar Precept
The near future of automotive

Polestar Precept is not a conventional concept car. It’s the embodiment of our ambitions for design, technology and sustainability. A vision that will lead to Polestar 5, our electric performance 4-door GT, set to be launched in 2024.

Not a concept car, but a statement car

The automotive industry is facing pressing questions about design and environmental impact. Precept aims to answer these questions, showing our commitment to sustainable and engaging electric mobility.

The next step in Polestar’s evolution

Precept is both ambitious and logical. The next step for Polestar, not a leap. It combines sustainable materials that can already be produced, technology that is under development, and a design language that is futuristic yet realistic. We’ve borrowed from tomorrow. Not fifty years from now.

Intentional innovation

We can’t afford to waste time on sci-fi flights of fancy. Precept defines and displays potential solutions to the real-world challenges that lie before us. It questions conventions without indulging in daydreams.
