A 1-of-only-40 2020 Bugatti Divo achieved an auction world-record price of $8.6 million at the weekend, making the Chiron-based hypercar a star of the Bonhams Cars Quail Auction during Monterey Car Week.

At the time of unveiling, the Divo was sold out despite the starting price of $5.9 million. While the Divo is based on the Chiron and shares the same 8-litre quad-turbo W16 engine, it is specially designed to bend corners while the Chiron is made for straight-lines.
