The delivery of the first car to a customer from Atelier in the city of Molsheim, Alsatian, marks the end of a challenging construction process that spanned nearly two years. “The Divo marks a milestone in Bugatti's history for more than 110 years.
The Divo will now enter the history books together with the state-of-the-art Veyron and Chiron hyper sports cars," said Stephan Winkelmann, President of Bugatti, in a press statement quoted on Saturday (8/8/2020). Divo started a new era at Bugatti.
With the Divo, Bugatti has created a masterpiece of collectible cars. The new hyper sports car is named after Albert Divo, a French pilot and racer who was also the driver of Bugatti for some time.
In the span of 20 years, Divo has won many victories, including winning six Grand Prix races and two Targa Florios.
In 1932, Jean Bugatti, son of company founder Ettore Bugatti, had created an elegant roadster body for the Type 41 Royale luxury vehicle at the age of 23. The owner was textile magnate Armand Esders, which is why the vehicle is now known as the "Royale Esders".
Chances are, you'll never see a Bugatti Divo in public. The reason is, only 40 units of the French-made hypercar will enter the production line.
However, if you are a popular YouTuber like Supercar Blondie, the opportunity to see this fantastic car in person is wide open.
The results can be seen at the top of this article, a comprehensive video that covers a lot of interesting things about the $6 million hypercar.
Actually, one of the interesting info about the Divo is that the price has now jumped to around 8 million US dollars. That's thanks to the scarcity factor.
It's also not a car just anyone can pick up, even if you have a wad of cash. Before you can order a Divo, potential buyers must make sure they have a Chiron in their garage.
No wonder Bugatti dares to claim that the average Divo buyer has collected at least 40 luxury cars. In other words, they were not ordinary customers.
So, for the lucky ones, what do you get from the Bugatti Divo?
Okay, we know that a lot of people sneer that this hypercar is basically a molted Chiron. However, the changes experienced were quite extensive.
For example, the headlights are not Chiron lenses mounted on flared fenders. It's a Divo-exclusive boomerang light.
Likewise, the taillights are very complex, actually consisting of many fins to create a 3D effect.
We all know the large middle fin that extends all the way to the back, serves to increase airflow.
But, did you know that all the exterior parts that are painted blue on this car have a certain aerodynamic function? Yes, that includes the Divo body kit, as well as the middle backbone earlier.
While we're still at the rear, let's take a look at Divo's quad exhaust liner. This is indeed a defining feature, but there are actually still six pipes coming out the back.
Additionally, there's a pair of smooth turn-down pipes placed in the corners of the fascia, spaced out as six pipes in a row would be too noisy and hot.
The two corner pipes also increase downforce. Coupled with complex aero redux, the Divo is a car that prioritizes downforce.
During the test drive, we were again reminded of how extraordinary this hypercar is. Apart from the 1,500 horsepower of the massive W16 engine, the Divo is also a lot of fun to drive around town.
So enjoy all the details of Divo shown in this video. Because this could be the closest you'll ever get to the hypercar.
