Bugatti’s Mistral is an Open-Air Swan Song

Visiting Bugatti HQ in Molsheim, France is always a treat, but this time there’s a feeling of change in the air. Until Mate Rimac’s new vision for Bugatti materializes in the form of the aptly named Tourbillon, which will feature a sonorous naturally aspirated 8.3-liter V16 coupled with three electric motors, my attention is trained…

Check-In, If You Dare

Luxury travel has always been as much about anticipation as arrival. Long before the room key is handed over or a bellhop appears, a first impression is already being made.
