The $5.8 Million supercar is lighter and more agile than the Bugatti Chiron on which it is based.
The Divo is named after legendary racing driver Albert Divo – and celebrates Bugatti’s ‘coachbuilding tradition’. Just 40 examples will be built, and every single one is already sold.
Bugatti boss Stephan Winkelmann said: “Our customers and fans were waiting for a special vehicle which would tell a further story for the brand in addition to the Chiron. The Bugatti team was also very eager to implement a project like this.”
It features bespoke bodywork and has a focus on aerodynamics; the Divo gets a totally new front end, gaping air intakes and slim LED lights. There’s an ‘optimised air curtain’ and a new, wider front spoiler, which helps the Divo develop an additional 90kg of downforce than a Chiron. Various vanes direct cool air to the brakes, while the flanks are similarly aggressive, with large ducts and sharp creases.
On the roof there’s a flow-optimised air duct, while the rear spoiler is 23 per cent wider than before, and can be set to different angles depending on which drive mode the car is in. Bugatti says this improves downforce and efficiency, as well as higher air brake performance.
The Divo shares the Chiron’s quad-turbo, 8.0-litre W16 engine with 1500 hp and 1,600Nm of torque, as well as the same seven-speed DSG box and four-wheel drive system. Bugatti says the Divo will cover 0-62mph in 2.4 seconds and hit 236mph flat out.
