The 2019 Bugatti Divo is a limited-edition, mid-engined track-focused hypercar based on the Bugatti Chiron. Named after French racing driver Albert Divo, who raced for Bugatti in the 1920s, scoring two victories in the Targa Florio race, Bugatti describes the Divo as their "most agile and dynamic car [they have] ever created".[1][2]
It is also one of the most expensive production cars in the world, with a price tag of US $2.3 million.[2]
Overview[edit | edit source]
Design details[edit | edit source]
The Divo takes inspiration from the Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic and Bugatti Vision Gran Turismo concept and mainly focuses on track performance. At the rear of the Divo is a redesigned exhaust system with quad exhaust outlets, a wide fixed carbon fiber rear wing (23% wider than the Chiron's retractable wing). In addition, the Divo features a NACA duct on the roof that channels air to the rear on a central fin and ultimately on the rear wing for improved downforce, a large front chin spoiler, more refined side skirts, larger air intakes on the front, new headlights and taillights, a bonnet vent for improved radiator cooling, and front wheel arch vents for brake cooling. The Divo's interior is relatively similar to the more luxurious Chiron's, but features Alcantara upholstery and carbon fiber as weight reduction measures. The dotted taillights are similar to those on the Bugatti Vision Gran Turismo concept and the Aston Martin Vulcan.
The Divo also features stiffer springs and dampers, carbon fiber windshield wiper blades and intercooler shroud, grooved wheel spokes, reduced sound insulation, a lighter sound system, and no storage lockers present in the doors and center console for a weight reduction of 77 lb (35 kg) over the Chiron.[1]
Technical specifications[edit | edit source]
The Divo retains the 7,993 cc quad-turbocharged W16 from the Chiron, including its specifications of 1,500 PS (1,479 hp; 1,103 kW) at 6,700 rpm and 1,600 N·m (1,180 ft·lb) of torque between 2,000 and 6,000 rpm, along with the seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.[3]
Performance[edit | edit source]
Still accelerating from a standing start to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 2.4 seconds, the Divo features a higher lateral acceleration of 1.6 g compared to 1.5 g for the Chiron. In addition, due to its more aggressive aerodynamic package, the Divo generates 198 lb (90 kg) more downforce than the Chiron, is 8 seconds faster than the Chiron on Volkswagen's Nardò handling circuit, and has a lower top speed of 380 km/h (236 mph).[1]
Gameplay[edit | edit source]
Forza Horizon 4[edit | edit source]
The Bugatti Divo was added in Series 15, unlockable by obtaining 50% completion for the Series 15 Horizon Autumn Season (October 31, 2019 14:30:00 GMT ~ November 7, 2019 14:29:59 GMT).
The Divo features drastically better handling and braking overall compared to previous Bugatti models, but noticeably has a lower top speed as a trade-off. With the correct tune, it is also competitive in Class S2 races, even during rainy conditions, but it is, all in all, still inferior to the Koenigsegg CCGT and Ferrari F40 Competizione. The Divo, at stock, has a higher top speed than in real life, with a top speed of 410 km/h (255 mph), which still makes it have decent top speed; out of all Bugatti cars in the series, only the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport (and possibly its base model, the Bugatti Veyron 16.4) and aforementioned Chiron have higher stock top speeds.

Trivia[edit | edit source]
- Despite being a hypercar, the Divo is classified as an Extreme Track Toy in Forza Horizon 4 due to its significantly more track-focused performance and appearance in comparison to the Chiron.
Mistakes[edit | edit source]
- Despite having a real life value of US$5.8 million, the Divo has an in-game value of 250,000 CR, like all the other seasonal reward cars.
- During the October 2019 edition of Forza Monthly, the Divo was wrongly classed as a Common car instead of a Legendary car like with the Chiron it is based on (the Chiron is rated with a Legendary rarity). This was fixed when the Series 15 update was released for everyone on October 23, 2019.
