Hardcore version of Chiron, the Bugatti Divo has now seen the first produced units complete the testing and validation processes and make their way to their owners.
Extremely customizable — something that is borne out by looking at the units now heading for delivery — the Divo represents, "a new era at Bugatti — the era of modern coachbuilding."
With production limited to just 40 units, each copy of the Bugatti Divo costs at least five million euros.
The Bugatti Divo
A kind of Porsche 911 GT3 RS from the Bugatti Chiron, the Divo was born with a goal: “to be more sporty and agile in corners, but without sacrificing comfort”.

In this way, the exclusive Bugatti model received improvements in all areas, from the chassis to aerodynamics, passing through the always important “diet” (it lost 35 kg compared to the Chiron).
In the aerodynamic field, the Divo is capable of generating 90 kg more downforce than the Chiron, thanks to the design of a new aerodynamic package — at 380 km/h it reaches 456 kg.
Stephan Winkelmann, CEO of BugattiWith Divo we created a highly customizable automotive masterpiece.
It was also able to withstand lateral accelerations of up to 1.6 g and received a new active wing, 23% larger, which also works as an aerodynamic brake; a redesigned rear diffuser; a new roof air intake and other aerodynamic solutions designed to improve cooling.
Finally, in the mechanical chapter the Bugatti Divo continues to use the W16 8.0 liters and 1500 hp of power.
Interestingly, its top speed is “only” 380 km/h compared to the 420 km/h of the Chiron. All due to the focus on cornering performance and higher levels of downforce.
