Bugatti Divo: Divo what!

27 August 2018

All instances of a unique hypercar is already sold out

Ferrari, Lamborghini and some other automotive luxury brands regularly produce not only a special version of their basic models, but also unique models. For example, Lamborghini has celebrated such unique projects as the Centenario, the Veneno, Egoista and Sesto Elemento. Initially, they were announced as concepts, although among loyal fans of the brand were sold out in a lot of these Hyper exclusive lounge cars. And everyone is happy: the rich, the fans got a unique toy, the company calculated the profit, but simply indifferent — enjoyed another creation of the Italian masters.

Now this is obvious from all points of view the way came in a Bugatti. It is hard to count how many special versions of the Bugatti Veyron appeared in the decade of its life cycle. The problem is that they mainly differed only in color, pattern wheels, and other small paraphernalia. By the standards of mere mortals and it's not bad, but discerning connoisseurs, spread over a million euros for one car, clearly wants more exclusivity. And now it appeared: a French company has introduced a new model Bugatti Divo. Technically and visually it is close to Chiron, but many elements were recycled.

In the Russian language name of the product sounds very extravagant and appropriate. But really the emphasis should be on the last syllable: novelty created in honor of French racing driver albert Divo. In the early twentieth century he raced Bugatti Type 35 and has twice won the Targa Florio race.

Doorways, roof struts and the overall proportions of the body implying that the basis lies Divo Bugatti Bugatti Chiron. At the same time, the designers of the brand have changed all the external elements, so the novelty looks very interesting. In addition to the new design, the car became lighter by 35 kg.

Contrary to expectations vosjmimetrovaya W16 engine with four turbochargers has not been modernized. He still develops a monstrous capacity — 1 500 horsepower. Do I need more? This question should be answered by the customers of the brand.

But Bugatti Divo suspension has been redesigned. The engineers also upgraded the aerodynamics. As a result, maximum downforce is increased by 90 kg. the Car was better cornering, but at the same time, the maximum speed decreased from 420 to 380 km/h.

On how many of the "pulled" would change Bugatti Divo in the world of conventional machines. Updated exterior, the filling and the cabin, slightly modified suspension. Usually in such circumstances produced a restyled version, which is or the same or is more expensive for a nominal sum. But Divo will be more exclusive! That's what the calculation: even with a doubled price tag (each machine will cost €5 000 000) all 40 copies were sold out at the first private screening.
