Bugatti Divo – We’ve Got The Deets!

August 24, 2020, marked the launch of Bugatti’s first track racing hyper-car Divo. Unveiled at California’s luxury motorsport gathering, The Quail, the car has been designed to honor Albert Divo, the French racer who bagged the first spot at the Targa Florio Mountain race twice.

Let’s start up front. The Bugatti Divo is equipped with an unusual front fascia that sports larger air inlets and a much wider front spoiler. It is expected that these changes will help improve the cooling strength and down-force of the car as a whole.

The designers behind the vehicle have given much attention to the roof, and have crafted it to act as a long NACA air duct. When combined with the uniquely designed engine cover, this will ensure that an “exceptionally high” volume of air enters the engine core, thereby cooling the car’s 8.0-liter W16 engine.

The car’s spoiler is almost 23% wider than the Bugatti Chiron, and the company says this change has resulted in a significant improvement in the strength performance, brake efficiency, and cornering grip.

From a mechanical point of view, the French company has paired the W16 engine with an 8.0-liter quad-turbocharged four-wheel-drive which has a gearbox derived from motorsport. And all this has been done in order to improve the engine’s 1,500-hp acceleration. Thus, it’s expected that the Divo should reach 100 km/h in less than 2.5 seconds and 200 km/h in about 6.5 seconds tops! As for the highest speed, Bugatti has confirmed that the car can touch 380 km per hour (wow, with that much horsepower, you’ll feel that you’re riding a space rocket!).

Additional lightweight components include slimmer insulation and a lighter sound system. The design has also disposed off the storage compartments in the center console and door panels. These design changes even extend into the cabin. The car sports a double-styled interior with stitching inspired by the Divo Racing Blue race cars and contrasting Divo Gray Alcantara upholstery.

Here’s How Much It Will Cost You?

With Divo, Bugatti is targeting super-rich luxury, car enthusiasts. The company has only built 40 prototypes of the car, each with a price tag of $5.4 million. But considering that it’s miles ahead of the other cars of its era, the tag seems justified. So what do you think now? Does the obsession make sense?
