The Name名字的由来
Albert Divo — the French racing driver who won the Targa Florio twice for Bugatti.
This car carries a driver's name. In 1928 and 1929, Albert Divo won the Targa Florio back-to-back in a Type 35 B — 148 km of unguarded mountain roads through Sicily, no guardrails, only stone walls and cliffs.
At The Quail, August 2018, Bugatti unveiled the Divo: 35 kg lighter and 90 kg more downforce than the Chiron, top speed voluntarily limited to 380 km/h — every kilogram of drag traded for cornering grip.
First Win
Type 35 B · Sicilian roadsIn his first year with the Bugatti works team, Albert Divo won the toughest endurance circuit of its era.
Two in a Row
Six Grand Prix winsOver a 20-year career, Divo scored six Grand Prix victories and two Targa Florio wins for Bugatti.
Sold Out Before Unveiling
40 units · €5 millionThe Divo was shown to select Chiron customers in discreet one-to-one meetings — all 40 units were sold within weeks of the first appointment.
Design设计
Instantly recognizable as a Bugatti, impossible to confuse with a Chiron.
Design lead Jascha Straub gave his team a one-line brief: the Divo must be instantly recognizable as a Bugatti, yet impossible to confuse with a Chiron.
The roof is shaped as a NACA duct, channeling air along a central fin to the rear wing — a direct nod to the Type 57 Atlantic. The front end was completely remade; the 3D-printed rear light comes from a new manufacturing process.
NACA Roof Duct
At the center of the roof, feeding the W16 and reducing turbulence over the rear wing.
Central Fin
Running from nose to rear wing, a nod to the Type 57 Atlantic.
35 mm Headlights
The slimmest LED units ever fitted to a production Bugatti, with boomerang daytime running lights.
Widened Grille
One of Bugatti's three key design elements, widened and repositioned for the Divo.
We had a host of liberties when we developed the Divo because we limited the top speed to 380 km/h. As a result, we were able to generate more downforce and turn the Divo into a visually and technically independent model.
Aerodynamics空气动力学
456 kg of total downforce — 90 kg more than the Chiron.
The Divo's aero package isn't a few carbon canards. Front cover, front spoiler, side skirts, rear wing, diffuser — everything redesigned with one goal: downforce.
Every kilogram saved by weight reduction went back into downforce, up to the limit of the tyres. The final number: 456 kg, 90 kg more than the Chiron.

less turbulence · more downforce
As the car dives under heavy braking, the front splitter drops closer to the ground and downforce builds — engineers deliberately capped front-axle downforce to keep the aero balance stable under braking.

Top speed (limited)
Speed traded for air
Revised camber, harder springs, a more front-oriented balance
One purpose behind all of it — a faster response to steering input. Agility is the Divo's definition of speed.
Earned by those 90 extra kilograms of downforce
On the Nardò handling circuit, the Divo laps eight seconds faster than the Chiron — on the same W16 heart.
To date, a modern Bugatti has represented a perfect balance between high performance, straight-line dynamics and luxury. With the Divo, we are now shifting the focus to lateral dynamics.
The Interior座舱
Two colors, one cabin split in half.
The cabin carries the exterior's two-tone logic inside. The driver's side is almost entirely Divo Racing Blue — a bright turquoise developed exclusively for this car; the passenger side stays dark with selective accents.
The seats are a new design: stronger lateral support, thinner and lighter backs, no compromise on comfort. Every material mirrors the exterior spec — each car's colorway is signed off between customer and design team.

An exclusive color across the driver's side, split at the center console.
New Seats
Stronger lateral support, thinner backs, no compromise on comfort.
Material Match
Alcantara, carbon, Divo Grey leather — mirroring the exterior spec.
Details are Bugatti's other language
Deep blue carbon, bespoke badges, the French tricolour — details beyond the cabin, for the driver alone.
Bespoke定制
40 Divos. No two the same.
From paint color to stitch direction, every detail of the 40 Divos is co-developed one-to-one between customer and design team.
The "Lady Bug" is the most extreme of them all. The customer wanted a geometric-dynamic algorithmic fading pattern across the entire body — layered in the bespoke metallic tones of "Customer Special Red" and "Graphite". It took the team over a year and a half to make the CAD pattern fit the three-dimensional body without distortion.
We were close to giving up and saying: 'We cannot meet the customer's request.' However, it is our profound conviction that we should never give up and that our foremost motivation should always be to make the impossible possible for the customer.
Around 1,600 diamonds, each checked and realigned by hand; six-meter films pulled over deeply concave surfaces without a single fold. The multilayer paintwork finally sinks the ruby pattern into an anthracite gradient — months of hand craftsmanship for a depth and brilliance rarely seen in color.
Targa FlorioThe Return
Ninety years later, the Divo returns to Albert Divo's circuit.
In 2022, Bugatti drove the Divo back to the Targa Florio circuit in Sicily, joined by a Type 35 — two cars, 90 years apart, reunited where Albert Divo made his name.
The film "Following in Albert Divo's Footsteps" records the return: behind the blue Type 35, a modern Bugatti built for the same purpose — corners.
Return to Targa Florio
The Divo and the Type 35 — the same Sicilian mountain road, 90 years apart.
I am deeply impressed by how the Divo is able to get to grips with these roads, some of which are in very poor condition, and the very short distances between corners.
