Acquiring the Last Bugatti W-16 Mistral Roadster: A Successful Bridge Funding Project

Client knew that time was of the essence, so they quickly reached out to Rikvin Capital, a leading bridge funding company. They explained their situation and their desire to secure one of the final 99 units of the 2024 Bugatti Mistral Roadster, which was promised to be the fastest open-top production car in the world. The team at Rikvin Capital was impressed with Client’s passion for rare and exotic cars and eager to help them make their dream a reality. They quickly approved a loan of 1 million euros to cover the initial deposit, as the car was priced at a staggering 5 million Euro

With the funding in hand, Client was able to place their order for the Bugatti Mistral Roadster and secure their place in line to receive one of the final 99 units. This was made possible due to their previous history as a regular buyer of Bugatti cars, which allowed them to receive an allocation for the highly sought after vehicle. They were overjoyed and couldn’t wait for the car to be delivered in 2024.

Thanks to Rikvin Capital, Client was able to add another rare and exotic car to their collection and fulfill their dream of owning the world’s fastest open-top production car.

FAQ

Can Rikvin Capital fund a deposit for a limited-edition supercar allocation?

Yes. The case here lent €1 million for a deposit on a 2024 Bugatti W-16 Mistral Roadster (one of only 99 worldwide), with the full car priced at €5 million. We funded in 1 week against the buyer's wider asset profile and previous Bugatti purchase history.

How is a long-lead supercar deposit loan structured?

Usually as a 1 to 3 year loan with monthly interest payments, sized to cover the deposit (often 20% of the headline price). The Bugatti case here was 2 years to align with the 2024 delivery window. Final balance funding can be arranged closer to delivery once the vehicle is ready to be invoiced.

Do I need to be an existing collector to qualify?

Not strictly, but a verifiable history with the brand and a wider HNWI asset profile both help. The Bugatti buyer here was a long-term Bugatti customer with an existing collection, which gave the manufacturer confidence to allocate the rare model and gave us confidence in the borrower's repayment plan.
