Fascinating Facts about Bugatti Divo
The French car brand is often remembered as a gorgeous and powerful supercar of all time. Let’s go through some fun facts about the Bugatti Divo in detail.
Bugatti Divo History Facts
Bugatti Divo was revealed in 2018. But the supercar was unveiled in front of a selective, invite-only audience of Chiron owners. Later on in 2020, Bugatti Divo made headlines when it was first rolled out in the factory. Although the body and kit of Divo is much like Bugatti Chiron, it is more performance oriented, has faster lap times, improved handling and enhanced aerodynamics.
Bugatti Divo Costs Twice the Price of a Chiron
Another interesting Bugatti Devo fact is that the model cost twice the price of a Bugatti Chiron. The starting price of Bugatti Divo was a whopping $5.8 million or over AED 2,1,700,000 which is double the cost of a Bugatti Chiron.
Bugatti Divo Only Has 40 Units in the World
While Bugatti gave 500 units of Chiron to the world, only 40 units were introduced for the Divo. After all, just selling 40 units will bring the company a quarter of a billion dollars. Moreover, a fun fact about Bugatti Divo is that the 40 units were pre sold even before the car was introduced to the world – that is how much the world loves a supercar with a gorgeous design!
Bugatti Divo has Improved Aerodynamics
Bugatti Divo is built for cornering. Thanks to improved aerodynamics, Divo has 90kg of extra downforce over Bugatti Chiron. As a result, the pressure on Bugatti Divo tyres increased, leading to an edge of 8 seconds per lap on the racing track. Bugatti Divo, when compared with a Chiron, offers higher levels of performance in terms of cornering, agility and lateral acceleration.
Bugatti Divo is Lighter in Weight
Bugatti Divo weighs 4,398 lbs – which is 77 pounds lighter than the Chiron. The successful weight loss happened due to the installation of a lighter wheel, lighter sound system, fixed front diffuser flaps, and a carbon-fibre intercooler cover. Moreover, some insulations were also removed.
With the lightweight, the Divo makes 198 more pounds of downforce than Chiron. With a total of 1005 lbs downforce, Bugatti Divo is much more capable of investing all its power on the ground and holding itself in bends at high speeds. For more downforce, designers created a new rear diffuser, a new wider front spoiler, a larger rear spoiler, and an optimised air curtain created by Divo when it moves.
The Name Inspiration behind Bugatti Divo
Bugatti Divo’s name is inspired by Albert Divo. He was a French Grand Prix racer who drove in a Bugatti Type 35 and earned two victories in the 1928 and 1929 Targa Florio race. Five decades after the racer’s death, Bugatti decided to pay tribute to their victorious driver by naming a car in his honour.
Bugatti Divo has a Unique Colour Code
Bugatti Divo has given a lot of attention to detail. As for the colour scheme for Divo, it was planned out in a way to highlight that this is a performance-oriented car that focuses directly on the driver experience.
