Bugatti Divo Standard
The Bugatti Divo represents the extreme end of Bugatti's engineering capability — a track-focused hypercar based on the Chiron but extensively redesigned for lateral agility rather than outright top speed. Named after Albert Divo, the French racing driver who won the Targa Florio twice for Bugatti in 1928 and 1929, the Divo trades some of the Chiron's top speed capability for significantly increased downforce and improved handling. The body was completely redesigned by Bugatti's team led by Achim Anscheidt, with larger air intakes, a more aggressive front splitter, wider fenders, and a massive rear wing that increases downforce by 90 kg compared to the Chiron. The car is 35 kg lighter than the Chiron through the use of additional carbon fiber components. The W16 engine retains its full 1,500 horsepower output but the electronically limited top speed of 380 km/h (versus the Chiron's 420+ km/h capability) reflects the car's circuit-oriented character. At the Nardò handling circuit, the Divo was 8 seconds faster per lap than the Chiron. All 40 units were sold immediately upon announcement, each at €5 million before taxes, making the Divo one of the most expensive new cars ever offered.
All 40 units are in private collections. Secondary market transactions are rare and command significant premiums over the original price. Full Bugatti provenance is essential. The W16 engine requires factory-level expertise for all maintenance. Insurance and storage costs are substantial.
Exactly 40 units were produced, all sold before the car was publicly revealed. Each Divo was extensively customized to the buyer's specification. Assembled at Bugatti's Atelier in Molsheim, Alsace — the brand's historic home.
