7 Interesting facts about New Bugatti Divo
The new car takes a slightly different approach to life compared to the Chiron.
Apart from being extremely fast and ridiculously powerful.
The Divo moves a bit more to the dynamism and cornering so, the top speed is its second priority.
It’s beautiful.
It’s powerful.
It’s expensive.
No.7
The Bugatti Divo is road-legal, but it has been built specifically for the race tracks.
Although, Bugatti launched a light-weight, track-focused special edition
Chrion Sport earlier this year,but it still followed the same grand tourer formula as the car it is based on.
Bugatti Divo is the first proper race-machine in years which is meant to dominate the tracks
NO.6
Bugatti has a tradition of naming its special vehicles after car racing legends,and the all-new Divo is no different.The French hypercar-maker’s latest creation has been named after Albert Divo,a French racing driver who won the famous Targa Florio race on a mountainous circuit in
Sicily for Bugatti twice in the late 1920s.
NO.5
Just 40 Will Be Built (And Already Sold Out)If you were hoping to get your hands on this rare Bug, don’t count on it. 40 examples will be built, and all 40 of them have already been accounted for.As mentioned, interested buyers had to dish out more than $5 million for this rare machine.
No.4
It Costs $5.8 Million At $5.8 million (€5 million), the Bugatti Divo is one of the most expensive vehicles on the market today.It’s a whopping $2.78 million pricier than the Chiron,and $4.08 million more expensive than the Veyron Super Sport.Other than performance, its limited quantity probably has something to do with its outrageous price.
No.3
Its Top Speed Is Limited To 236 MP. That number actually makes it slower on the top end then the Chiron, which can hit 261 miles per hour (420 kilometers per hour).Part of the reason is the added aerodynamics we mentioned earlier;with nearly 200 extra pounds (90 kilograms) of downforce,the Divo isn’t able to outgun the Chiron.
No.2
It Can Pull 1.6 Lateral Gs. More downforce means more lateral Gs. In this case, the Divo has 1.6 Gs of lateral grip – which is a lot of Gs.That number is only a slight increase over the standard Chiron, though, which can pull up to 1.5 Gs. That extra 0.1,, makes a lot difference the Divo is a whole eight seconds quicker around the Nardo circuit than the Chiron.
No.1
It Has 198 pounds More Downforce Than The Chiron.The advanced aerodynamic package on the Divo not only looks good,but it yields an extra 198 pounds (89 kilograms) of downforce over the Chiron. All told, the Divo has 1,005 pounds of downforce. But even with all that added aero work, the Divo is still 77 pounds (34 kilograms) lighter than the supercar on which it’s based interestingly enough.
