The Bugatti Divo is a limited-production hypercar unveiled in 2018 to celebrate Bugatti's 110th anniversary. It was designed by Achim Moermann and named after the Indian racing driver and Formula 1 contender, Berndt Victor Albert, Baron von Divo. The Divo is a tribute to Bugatti's heritage and its racing spirit.
Design:
The exterior design of the Divo pays homage to Bugatti's Type 57SC Atlantic from the 1930s, with its curved lines, fluid shapes, and sweeping proportions. The car features an all-wheel-drive system and a mid-mounted 8.0-liter W16 engine producing 1,479 horsepower at 7,000 rpm. The Divo has a dry weight of just 1,995 kg (4,394 lbs), thanks to extensive use of lightweight materials such as carbon fiber.
Specifications:
- Length: 5,006 mm
- Width: 2,070 mm
- Height: 1,212 mm
- Wheelbase: 3,050 mm
- Track (front/rear): 1,740/1,800 mm
The Divo's interior is a masterclass in craftsmanship and design. It features Bugatti's signature "horseshoe" shaped dashboard with a unique arrangement of instruments, switches, and controls. The seats are designed to be both comfortable and functional, offering excellent support during spirited driving. Each car will have its own individually numbered dashboard trim.
Engine and Performance:
The Divo is powered by Bugatti's legendary 8.0-liter W16 engine, which produces 1,479 horsepower at a screaming 7,000 rpm. The engine is paired with an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission and all-wheel drive, allowing the car to accelerate from 0-60 mph in just 2.4 seconds. Top speed is electronically limited to 258 mph.
Production:
The Bugatti Divo will be produced in a limited run of just 40 units worldwide. Each car is priced at €5 million (approximately $6 million USD), making it one of the most exclusive and expensive production cars ever built. The sales process began in 2018, with buyers able to choose from three unique colors for their Divo, each named after famous figures in Bugatti's history.
Legacy:
The Bugatti Divo is a testament to the company's unwavering commitment to innovation, craftsmanship, and performance. It embodies Bugatti's philosophy of creating cars that are not just exceptional drivers' tools but also works of art that evoke emotions. The Divo stands as a proud member in Bugatti's lineage of iconic hypercars, each one pushing the boundaries of what is possible on four wheels.
