The Bugatti Divo is a limited-production hypercar built as a coachbuilt evolution of the Chiron, designed for agility and cornering prowess rather than top-speed runs. Named after Albert Divo, a two-time Targa Florio winner, it marks Bugatti’s first coachbuilt model of the 21st century and was limited to just 40 units, all of which were pre-sold to Chiron owners before its public debut.
Though it shares its monstrous 8.0-liter quad-turbocharged W16 engine with the Chiron—delivering 1,500 horsepower and 1,180 lb-ft of torque—the Divo is a more focused machine. With a reworked suspension, stiffer chassis tuning, and a 77-pound weight reduction, the Divo was engineered for superior handling.
Aerodynamic changes, including a massive fixed rear wing, a reprofiled diffuser, and additional downforce elements, boost downforce to 456 kg—90 kg more than the Chiron. Top speed is electronically limited to 236 mph, and 0-60 comes in just 2.4 seconds.
The bodywork is aggressively sculpted with improved airflow and wider intakes. Inside, the Divo combines motorsport functionality with luxury: Alcantara, anodized metal, and carbon fiber dominate the interior, accented by Divo Racing Blue and a tribute to Rembrandt Bugatti, featuring a small elephant motif.
This rare 2020 Bugatti Divo is the first of its kind to be offered at auction and has seen fewer than 800 miles from two owners. Originally delivered to Florida, it was featured at the Petersen Museum’s “Hypercars: The Allure of the Extreme” exhibit. It is accompanied by its original wheels, manual, accessories, and supplemental book.
It will be offered by Bonhams Cars at their upcoming Quail Auction on August 15, with an estimated value of $7,000,000 to $9,000,000.
