Bugatti is working on a new model, the #Bugatti #divo, named after Albert #divo, the French racing driver who won the famous Targa Florio race on a mountainous circuit in Sicily for #Bugatti twice in the late 1920s. Based on the requirements for such a race, the #Bugatti #divo will be light and nimble and will boast enormous downforce and gforces. The result will be outstanding handling properties and the dynamic character of the car will be underlined by a new, strong design language.
“Happiness is not around the corner. It is the corner. The #divo is made for corners,” says
Stephan Winkelmann, President of #Bugatti Automobiles S.A.S.
“With the #divo, we want to thrill people throughout the world,” the #Bugatti President continues. “With this project, the #Bugatti team has an opportunity to interpret the brand DNA in terms of
agile, nimble handling in a significantly more performance-oriented way.”
With the #divo, #Bugatti is reviving its coachbuilding tradition. In the first decades of its history,
the French luxury brand had considerable success with bodies designed in-house under the
leadership of Jean #Bugatti and installed on existing chassis.
The #divo is being made in a limited series of only 40 vehicles. The net price is €5 million.
Bugatti plans to unveil the #divo as a world premiere at 11:20 a.m. (local time) on 24 August
2018 on the lawn at the renowned event “The Quail – A Motorsports Gathering“ in California,
USA.
