In total, the Bugatti dealer network covers only 17 countries in the world. Poland is already on the list, namely Katowice. The Bugatti Showroom is another pearl in the crown of the Pietrzak Group. It was built next to the Ferrari, Maserati and Koenigsegg showrooms at ul. Bocheńskiego 109. It is said to be the only place in the world where these products can be found under one roof. It should be mentioned that the Group is also present in Warsaw, where it has a second Ferrari showroom and a Pagani representative office. Cosmos.

However, the center of automotive luxury is in Silesia. In July 2022, it was announced that the official dealer and importer of Bugatti cars would work in Poland, and the showroom will be ready at the end of May this year. The first model that can be admired in it is the Bugatti W16 Mistral worth at least 5 million EUR (including 23% VAT). The final price depends on the configuration, ie the buyer’s imagination.

Mistral has had its Polish premiere, but all 99 planned copies have long been sold out. Deliveries to customers should begin in 2024, all made at the factory (Bugatti calls the dealer) in Molsheim near Strasbourg.

The managing director and owner, Jakub Pietrzak, assures that there will be many buyers of these cars. It counts not only on the domestic market, but also in the Baltic and Balkan states. He revealed that in the near future, several Bugatti Chirons in the two top versions Pur Sport and Super Sport, as well as the Mistral, will hit the Polish streets. Maybe not even one, such information is not a secret, but it is revealed with reluctance.

The Bugatti W16 Mistral ends an era

The Mistral road, which took its name from the strong winds that blow in the south of France, has an extra flavor – it ends the era of powerful 16-cylinder engines in road-legal models. They have been used since 2005, i.e. since the beginning of the Veyron 16.4 model, which revived the Bugatti brand. The heart of the Mistral is a new unit from the Chiron (specifically from the Super Sport 300+ version), on which this car is based. It has a capacity of 8 liters, of course 16 cylinders arranged in the shape of the letter “W” and is also supported by 4 turbochargers. The maximum power is 1600 hp and the maximum torque is 1600 Nm. Yes, it’s not a mistake. 1600 hp and 1600 Nm. The car can be accelerated to a speed of 420 km / h! This is one of the fastest roads in the world.

The market for this type of car is very special and differs greatly from the sale of popular brand cars, and even premium ones, which can seem very expensive. In the case of the new Bugatti, we are talking about the amount of several million euros, not zlotys. You can count on its value to increase quickly. Such a unique example is a form of mobile capital investment, an alternative to real estate or the stock market.

Supply is very limited, and cars are sold almost immediately, even before they go into production, so the manufacturer can decide who wants to sell them. Current customers are notified first, so others have to organize themselves and calculate free space or choose a used copy, which will also be handled by the Katowice dealer (and service). There are a lot of people interested in Bugatti Veyrons right now.

Opening of the Bugatti showroom in Katowice

Many of the world’s most prestigious brand stores are slowly becoming a tourist attraction in Katowice. The doors of the Bugatti showroom will also be open, so that everyone can visit it, even just to take a photo with their dream supercar. It is also a meeting place, as the Italian restaurant La Squadra is under one roof.

In the end, Jakub Pietrzak surprisingly told me that this is not the end of the surprise. We can expect something very big to be announced later this year.
