BUGATTI DIVO

The Bugatti Divo is a limited-edition hypercar that was first introduced in 2018 at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. The car is named after French racing driver Albert Divo, who won the Targa Florio race twice in the 1920s driving a Bugatti.

The Divo is based on the Bugatti Chiron, but it's been extensively redesigned to improve handling and aerodynamics. Only 40 units of the car were produced, and they were sold out within weeks of the Divo's debut. Each Divo is priced at $5.8 million, making it one of the most expensive cars in the world.



Design and aerodynamics The Bugatti Divo is a work of art both in terms of design and aerodynamics. The car's body is made of carbon fiber, and it features a new front spoiler and a large rear wing. The Divo's front end is more aggressive than the Chiron's, with larger air intakes that help cool the brakes and engine.

The Divo's most striking feature is its rear wing, which is designed to generate more downforce than the Chiron's. The wing is also 23% wider and 3% steeper than the Chiron's, which improves the car's high-speed stability. The Divo's aerodynamic upgrades allow it to generate 1,005 pounds of downforce at 150 mph, which is 198 pounds more than the Chiron.

The Divo is also 77 pounds lighter than the Chiron, thanks to its carbon fiber body and the removal of some sound insulation materials. The car's suspension has been re-tuned to improve handling and reduce body roll, and the Divo also features a new set of lightweight wheels that further reduce unsprung mass.

Engine and performance The Bugatti Divo is powered by the same quad-turbocharged 8.0-liter W16 engine as the Chiron. The engine produces 1,500 horsepower and 1,180 lb-ft of torque, and it's mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. The Divo can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.4 seconds, and it has a top speed of 236 mph.

Despite having the same engine as the Chiron, the Divo is not as fast in a straight line. This is because the Divo's aerodynamic upgrades increase drag and reduce top speed. However, the Divo is much faster than the Chiron around corners, thanks to its improved handling and downforce. The Divo can generate 1.6 Gs of lateral acceleration, which is 0.2 Gs more than the Chiron.

Interior and features The Bugatti Divo's interior is as luxurious as you'd expect from a $5.8 million hypercar. The car features premium leather upholstery, carbon fiber trim, and a state-of-the-art sound system. The Divo's seats are covered in Alcantara, and they're designed to provide excellent support during high-speed cornering.

The Divo also features a new driver assistance system called the Bugatti Speed Key. This system allows the driver to pre-set the car's top speed, and it also includes a telemetry system that records the car's performance data during track sessions.

Conclusion The Bugatti Divo is a hypercar that's designed to push the limits of what's possible in terms of handling and aerodynamics. The car is a limited-edition model that's intended for collectors and enthusiasts who want a car that's both beautiful and rare. The Divo's $5.8 million price tag may seem outrageous to some, but for those who can afford it, the Divo is an investment in automotive.
