Bugatti Divo 2019 became the top model of the brand

French hypercar maker Bugatti has even eclipsed itself by ripping the veil off a high-performance bus-backed Divo flagship that's sharper and lighter than the current Chiron.

Named after French racing driver and two-time Targa Florio winner Albert Divo, the latest Bugatti car delivers 1103kW at 6700rpm and 1600Nm of torque from 2000-6000rpm thanks to an 8.0-litre W16 quad-turbo petrol engine.

Although the Divo delivers the same numbers as its donor Chiron car, aerodynamic changes increase downforce and suspension geometry tweaks improve handling, but the result is a top speed of just 40 km/h at 380 km/h compared to 420 km/h. h at Chiron. limit speed.

Bugatti reduced the weight of the Chiron by 35 kg and improved the bodywork, creating 90 kg more downforce than the donor car, which increased the lateral acceleration to 1.6 g.

The bodywork includes air intakes added to the nose that improve airflow up front and increase aerodynamic efficiency, while a new "air curtain" also helps to draw turbulent air through the body.

A wider front spoiler increases downforce and also directs more air towards the engine for improved cooling.

The brakes are also cooled by four independent air sources on each side - above the front bumper, air intakes on the front fenders, one air intake on the front radiator and diffusers in front of the tires - which direct cold air towards the discs while a heat shield expels hot air through the wheels.

Bugatti said the Divo's roof was designed to form a NACA air intake duct, which, in combination with a specially designed engine cover, "provides a very high air mass flow into the engine compartment."

The rear has a 1.83m wide height-adjustable spoiler that also doubles as an airbrake when turning forward and can be set at different angles for individual driving modes.

The total downforce generated by this body structure is 456 kg.

Technical innovations in the cabin include seats with more lateral support, but the rest of the interior is largely retained except for the lack of storage space.

Bugatti says it purposely built the Divo with a different character than the Chiron, and as a result, the brand's newest hypercar can clear the Nardo Circuit in southern Italy eight seconds faster than its already impressive donor car.

Bugatti Automobiles President Stefan Winkelmann said the Divo was created in response to customer requests.

“When I took up my position at Bugatti at the beginning of the year, I soon learned that our customers and fans were not only waiting for the Chiron, but also a special car that would tell a new story for the brand,” he said.

“Today, the modern Bugatti strikes the perfect balance between high performance, straight-line dynamics and luxurious comfort. Within our capabilities, we have shifted the balance in the case of the Divo towards lateral acceleration, agility and cornering. "The Divo is built to turn."

The bad news, however, is that the Bugatti Divo costs 5 million euros (7.93 million Australian dollars) and all 40 limited production cars were sold immediately after the model was announced.
