Bugatti Divo

The limited-edition Bugatti Divo, based on the Chiron, was first unveiled at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance in California in 2018.

Only the current owners a Bugatti Chiron were eligible to buy the Divo. As expected, even at $5.8 million and twice the cost of Bugatti Chiron , all 40 Hypercars were sold out even before launch.

Bugatti President says

“The feedback from our customers was overwhelming”

“We showed the Divo to a small group of selected Chiron customers. All 40 cars were sold immediately—this was fantastic confirmation for the Bugatti team which had put so much dedication and passion into the project”.

The Divo shares the same 8-litre quad-turbo W16 engine that makes approximately 1,500 horsepower. Its top speed is limited to 236 mph ( compared to Chiron’s 261 mph) and it will accelerate from zero to 62mph in just 2.4 seconds.
