- The Bugatti Divo hypercar, which costs at least $5.8 million is finally headed to production, and Bugatti shared some of its customers' specs.
- The Divo is based on the Bugatti Chiron and is meant to be lighter and better-handling, with an updated suspension and added aerodynamics.
- Limited to 40 units, the Bugatti Divo is powered by the same quad-turbocharged 8.0-liter W-16 engine as the Chiron.
After more than two years of development, the Bugatti Divo, which is essentially a lightweight and better-handling Chiron, is finally headed to production. It's limited to only 40 units, and they've all been sold for at least $5.8 million.
The Divo, named after 1920s-era French racing driver Albert Divo, is based on the Bugatti Chiron hypercar. The ultra-exclusive Divo is equipped with an upgraded suspension, additional weight savings, and all kinds of aerodynamic enhancements including a dorsal fin and a larger rear wing. It's still powered by the monster quad-turbocharged 8.0-liter W-16 engine that spins up 1500 horsepower, although the Divo's top speed is limited to 236 mph, 25 mph slower than the Chiron.
Bugatti says that more than two-thirds of Divo customers have chosen to fully customize their cars to their personal specifications. Bugatti's customization team is made up of 15 employees, and they help customers select the paint, leather, fabric, and stitching for their multimillion-dollar hypercars.
Laure Beneteau, the sales and operations manager at Bugatti, says that it can take months or even up to a year to design new colors and interior materials such as leathers and carbon fiber. One customer even worked for more than a year to complete his Divo spec.
