Bugatti unveiled its stunning Divo super sports car Friday in
Monterey, California, showcasing a vehicle that the French luxury
brand is listing for $5.8 million.
Named after French racing driver and two-time Targa Florio
winner, Albert Divo, who won multiple races in the Type 35
Bugatti, the Divo super sports car looks to take Bugatti into the
future.
“To date, a modern Bugatti has represented a perfect
balance between high-performance, straight-line dynamics and
luxurious comfort,” Bugatti President Stephan
Winkelmann said in a statement.

Compared to the Bugatti Chiron, hyper grand
tourer, the Divo is much more focused on driving dynamics. The
hypercar’s is 77 pounds lighter while its aerodynamics generate
an additional 198 pounds of downforce.
“The Divo has significantly higher performance in terms
of lateral acceleration, agility, and cornering. The Divo is
made for corners,” Winkelmann added.
However, both the Divo and Chiron share Bugatti’s 1,500,
quad-turbo, W-16 engine. The company did not reveal the Divo’s
zero-to-60 mph time, but did confirm that its top speed is
limited to “just” 236 mph.
The car carries with it key elements of other classic
Bugatti-brand cars including the horseshoe-shaped front grille,
the famed Bugatti signature line on the vehicle’s side, and the
familiar fin that showcases the longitudinal axis of the car when
seen from above.
“The Divo is a further example of our design philosophy
‘Form follows Performance’. In this case, the engineers and
designers aimed to create a vehicle focusing on cornering
speeds and lateral dynamics,” said Achim Anscheidt, Director of
Design of Bugatti Automobiles, in a statement.

Parts of the car are colored “Titanium Liquid Silver,” while
other parts are painted in “Divo Racing Blue” two striking hues
that were developed specifically for the Divo.
Unfortunately, if you haven’t already ordered a Divo, you’re
already too late. After being shown to a handful of chosen
Bugatti customers, the Divo’s limited production run of 40
vehicles has sold out.
