Why you can't buy Bugatti’s Divo supercar – even if you have US$5.8 million
People who want one of 40 limited-edition vehicles, made by luxury French motoring brand owned by Volkswagen, face a major problem
Bugatti unveiled its stunning Divo supercar on Friday in Monterey, California – during the week of car events held in Pebble Beach – showcasing a vehicle that the French luxury motoring brand owned by Volkswagen has priced at US$5.8 million.
Yet already getting hold of one now is going to impossible – even if you have the money.
The Divo sports car, named after the French racing driver and two-time Targa Florio winner, Albert Divo, who won many races in the Type 35 Bugatti, looks to take Bugatti into the future.
“To date, a modern Bugatti has represented a perfect balance between high-performance, straight-line dynamics and luxurious comfort,” Stephan Winkelmann, Bugatti’s president, said.
Compared with the Bugatti Chiron, a hyper grand tourer, the Divo is much more focused on driving dynamics.
The hypercar is 77 pounds (34kg) lighter, while its aerodynamics generate an additional 198 pounds of downforce.
“The Divo has significantly higher performance in terms of lateral acceleration, agility, and cornering: the Divo is made for corners,” Winkelmann said.
