just to set new standards for beauty , but to also play a role in achieving completely new levels of performance . The key was to make the roadster ’ s architecture as rigid but lightweight as possible , so that the car ’ s driving dynamics would be similar to those of the Chiron . Staying true to its roadster roots , the W16 Mistral is a hyper sports car that is dynamic , agile and responsive , which meant the development team employed ultra-high performance lightweight composite materials and complex structures to minimize mass while at the same time increasing the rigidity of the chassis . This approach was also adopted for the doors of the W16 Mistral , which were a key focal point during development , featuring an innovative architectural arrangement that allows them to absorb an exceptional amount of energy in the event of a side impact , thus keeping the driver and passenger safe and secure . Due to the new exterior design of the roadster , an all-new and highly advanced air intake system had to be created specifically for the W16 Mistral . Meanwhile innovative ram induction air scoops located behind the headrests were also designed and developed with stringent – but highly important – rollover safety tests in mind . Each ‘ scoop ’ is made from a bespoke carbon fiber structure that can support the whole weight of the car in case of a roll over . This new intake layout also enriches the driver ’ s W16 experience , emphasizing the orchestra that plays from the legendary 8-liter powertrain . It is an unmatched aural sensation in the automotive world . Nevertheless , the soundscape inside the W16 Mistral is not limited to the visceral signature presence of the W16 engine ; it is accompanied by a high-end sound system specially developed for the roadster , which makes listening to music a pleasure for the senses – even when the W16 Mistral is
