Bugatti has launched the latest hypercar named Divo in The Quail-A Motorsports Gathering in Pebble Beach, California, United States, August 24, 2018. Divo's name is taken from the legendary French driver Albert Divo who won the Targa Florio race on the mountain circuit in Sicily for Bugatti was twice in the late 1920s.
Bugatti Divo is limited, only 40 units. This car is sold for US $ 5.8 million, unfortunately, you can't buy it even though you have more money. Because, this car has been sold out before launch.
"With this project, the Bugatti team has the opportunity to interpret racing DNA in terms of performance and handling with a significantly performance-oriented," said Stephan Winkelmann, President of Bugatti Automobiles S.A.S.
Bugatti claims, Divo has better aerodynamics than the Bugatti Chiron which has been known as the world's fastest car.
The Bugatti designer changes all external aspects of the car, the new front architecture still maintains the Bugatti grill. This new shape converts the headlights to vertical orientation, with additional ventilation that increases air flow for engine cooling. Large front spoilers are an integral part of Divo's new aero system.
On the roof, it is designed to form NACA airways, which function to deliver air better to the W16 Divo engine. The new active spoiler is pinned on the rear which is 23 percent wider than the Chiron wing. This active spoiler also functions as an air brake.
A new diffuser helps Divo have good grip on asphalt. This aerodynamic system is enhanced through various ventilation channels that are spread on the Divo floor. This aero system that changed drastically affected the addition of 90 kilograms of downforce compared to Chiron. Cooling system is also better for engines and brakes.
Buggati Divo is now lighter with carbon fiber intercooler and lighter wheels. The interior storage compartment is removed, and the stereo is also replaced. This causes Divo's weight to be 35 kilograms lighter than Chiron, which weighs 1,996 kg.
Bugatti said that Divo was 8 seconds faster than Chiron when tested on the Nardo circuit. The result was entirely an aerodynamic change in Divo. Because Divo's W16 engine which is also used on Chiron both are capable of boosting 1,500 hp.
Unfortunately, Divo is only able to run with a maximum speed of 380 kilometers per hour. While Chiron is 420 kilometers per hour with electronic limiter. However, many believe that Chiron is still able to go even faster up to 482 kilometers per hour.
