Bugatti
Divo

Why it matters

The Divo was the first modern coachbuilt Bugatti: a 40-car, Chiron-based series re-engineered for cornering rather than top speed. It opened the run of special-bodied W16 cars that followed, and was sold out at five million euros each before its public reveal.

Production

Every figure says what it counts.

Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.

History

Bugatti premiered the Divo at The Quail – A Motorsports Gathering in Monterey in August 2018. Compared with the Chiron it is 35 kg lighter, produces 90 kg more downforce (456 kg in total) and lapped the Nardò handling circuit eight seconds faster; its top speed is limited to 380 km/h with no Top Speed mode. The car is named after Albert Divo, the French driver who won the Targa Florio for Bugatti in 1928 and 1929 in a Type 35 B.
