MOTORING NEWS - Bugatti is getting ready to launch a limited edition version of their hyper-car. Named Chiron Divo, it will debut at a motor sport gathering in California on 24 August.
It is named after the French racing driver Albert Divo, who won the Targa Florio race twice for Bugatti in the late 1920s.
Described as being "made for corners" by Bugatti president Stephan Winkelmann, the Chiron Divo is built "to thrill people throughout the world with its nimble handling in a significantly more performance-oriented way".
Although it is unknown how Bugatti adapted the Chiron to turn it into a Divo, the company mentioned agility, higher downforce and greater g-forces. The car is also expected to be lighter than the current Chiron and to feature some aerodynamic updates.
"Its dynamic character will be underlined by a strong new design language," says Bugatti.
Production of the Bugatti Chiron Divo will be limited to only 40 examples. Each is expected to cost a significant €5 million (R78,2-million), without tax or any optional extras.
