Overview
The Bugatti Divo is a special version of the Chiron hypercar, made to look more exotic and rare. Its name honors Albert Divo, a French racing driver who won the famous Targa Florio race twice in the 1920s while driving a Bugatti. Bugatti is only making 40 Divos, and all of them have already been sold. The Divo has some key upgrades compared to the Chiron, such as better suspension, lighter weight, and advanced aerodynamics to improve speed and handling. While both cars have wild designs, the Divo stands out with its unique dorsal fin, detailed hood, and taillights that look like a cheese grater under a large wing.
What’s New for 2020?
The Divo is a new model that started production earlier this year. The first cars were expected to reach buyers in 2021, but the COVID-19 pandemic might cause some delays.
Suggestion:Pricing and Which One to Buy
The 2020 Bugatti Divo starts at $5,800,000.
Base price:
$5,800,000
Choosing which one to buy is easy because there’s only one version and not many options. However, unless you have some special connections, it’s unlikely you’ll be able to get one. Before the Divo was officially revealed in Monterey, California, in 2018, Bugatti had already shown it to a small group of Chiron owners, who quickly bought them all.
Here’s a simple table summarizing the pricing information for the Bugatti Divo:
| Model | Starting Price |

Exterior
The Bugatti Divo has an eye-catching and aggressive design that sets it apart from other hypercars. It features a unique dorsal fin running along the top, which helps with stability at high speeds. The hood is carved with sharp lines for better airflow, and the large rear wing adds both style and function, providing extra downforce. The taillights are designed to look like a cheese grater, giving the rear a distinct and bold appearance. Every part of the Divo’s exterior is crafted to improve performance, making it not only a stunning car to look at but also an aerodynamic masterpiece.
Here’s a simple table summarizing the key features of the Bugatti Divo’s exterior:
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Dorsal Fin | Unique fin running along the top for stability |
| Carved Hood | Sharp lines on the hood to improve airflow |
| Rear Wing | Large wing for added downforce and better handling |
| Taillights | Bold design resembling a cheese grater |
| Aerodynamics | Designed to enhance performance and speed |
| Body Material | Lightweight materials for improved power-to-weight ratio |
Interior, Comfort, and Cargo
While the Divo’s exterior is stunning, its interior is almost just as impressive. The cabin has a symmetrical design with different colors on each side: the driver’s side is in Divo Racing Blue, and the passenger’s side is in black. The seats are said to offer great support, especially during sharp turns, and the steering wheel is partly covered in faux suede, with two large paddle shifters on each side. To save weight, Bugatti minimized sound insulation and storage spaces inside the car.

| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Cabin Design | Symmetrical layout with an asymmetrical color scheme |
| Driver’s Side Color | Divo Racing Blue |
| Passenger’s Side Color | Black |
| Seats | Designed for great lateral support |
| Steering Wheel | Partially wrapped in faux suede with large paddle shifters on each side |
| Sound System | Accuton sound system (optional to remove for weight savings) |
| Storage Space | Minimal to save weight |
Engine, Transmission, and Performance
In the center of this all-wheel-drive hypercar is an 8.0-liter W-16 engine with four turbochargers, giving the Divo an impressive 1500 horsepower. (For comparison, the Koenigsegg Jesko has 1600 horsepower, and the Lotus Evija has 1972 horsepower.) The Divo uses a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, just like the Chiron. Bugatti says the Divo can go from 0 to 62 mph in just 2.4 seconds, and it can handle sharp turns with an incredible 1.6 g’s of grip. Although we probably won’t get to drive the Divo, we’ve driven the Chiron and can imagine the Divo—being 77 pounds lighter and designed to control airflow even better—performs even more impressively on the track.

| Horsepower | 1500 horsepower |
| Transmission | Seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission |

| Cornering Grip | 1.6 g’s of grip in corners |
| Weight | 77 pounds lighter than the Chiron |
Safety and Driver-Assistance Features
The Bugatti Divo is not expected to go through crash testing by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) or the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). In terms of driver-assistance features, the Divo only offers push-button start, and that’s about all.
Key safety features include:
- Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
- Front and knee airbags
- Stability control
Infotainment and Connectivity
Bugatti focuses more on reducing weight and improving aerodynamics than adding high-tech features or modern infotainment systems with LED screens. The Divo does come with an Accuton sound system, but owners can choose to remove it to slightly improve the car’s power-to-weight ratio.
Warranty and Maintenance Coverage
Bugatti gives Divo owners a four-year warranty and includes four years of free maintenance.
- The limited warranty covers 4 years
- The powertrain warranty covers 4 years
- Free scheduled maintenance for 4 years
