The $5.8 Million Bugatti Divo – A Stunning Leap Beyond the Chiron!
The Bugatti Divo marks a significant evolution in the hypercar segment, building upon the impressive foundation laid by the Chiron. By shedding 77 pounds, Bugatti has introduced several enhancements, making the Divo not only lighter but also more exclusive and refined.
Key Features for Weight Reduction
To achieve this remarkable weight reduction, Bugatti has implemented several key features in the Divo. Notably, the vehicle is equipped with specially designed lighter wheels that contribute to overall savings. Additionally, a carbon-fiber intercooler cover not only reduces weight but also enhances performance. The lightweight audio system further minimizes excess weight without sacrificing sound quality, ensuring an optimal driving experience.
Distinct Interior Attributes
While the Divo‘s interior retains many design elements from the Chiron, it also showcases unique features. Matte carbon-fiber trim adds a sophisticated touch, while vibrant Divo Racing Blue faux suede enhances the sporty aesthetic. The specially designed seats provide improved bolstering for high-performance support, and larger shift paddles on the steering wheel facilitate a more engaging driving experience.
Performance Capabilities
The Divo’s top speed is capped at 236 mph, which is 25 mph slower than the Chiron; however, Bugatti claims it can complete the Nardò handling circuit in Italy eight seconds faster than its predecessor. This impressive performance is supported by unchanged high-performance tires and brakes, increased wheel camber for enhanced cornering capabilities, retuned steering that offers a more responsive feel, and new driving modes, including EB, Autobahn, and Handling settings for tailored driving experiences.
Innovative Design Elements
Beyond its performance, the Divo‘s design showcases creativity. The rear grille features a cluster of 3D-printed fins, with 44 of them illuminating to serve as taillights. The unique headlight design includes a small horizontal LED strip as the main light, surrounded by a larger daytime running light, creating a distinctive light signature for the vehicle.
