Bugatti seems to have put a lot of work into their
new hypercar, the Divo, which is a few weeks away from being officially
unveiled. However, and before its debut under the California sun at the 2018
Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, the new hypercar is still teased by the
Molsheim-based manufacturer.
The latest picture released by Bugatti on social
media previews the aero blade made from carbon fiber and adorned with the red,
white and blue colors of the French flag. It also tells us that this example is
dressed in black and contrasted by light blue accents.
Given the pace at which Bugatti drops teasers with
the Divo, and the significance it has for the automaker, we wouldn’t be
surprised if it will be way more than a Chiron with a different (or updated)
body.
And performance wise, it will definitely smoke the
‘regular’ Chiron, although it’s hard to tell yet whether the quad-turbo
8.0-liter W16 engine will be updated in any way to deliver more than the
existing 1,500 PS and 1,600 Nm of torque.
Bugatti previously described it as having a “strong
design language”, with performance that will “thrill people throughout the
world”. Of course, all this exclusivity and extreme engineering comes at a
steep price: € 5 million (US$ 5,83 million) in France, excluding tax and
optional gear.
Only 40 units of the Bugatti Divo will see the light
of day, but it’s unclear yet whether they will be part of the Chiron’s
500-example production run, or if this is indeed a standalone hypercar.
