Bugatti Divo (2019) Feature, Rating and Review
The Divo is a new Bugatti model based on the Chiron and of which only 40 units will be manufactured. All of them have already been sold for a price of about five million euros each.
It has modifications in the chassis and in the suspension, in addition to different aerodynamic solutions, all destined, according to Bugatti, to give a greater agility, greater effectiveness in circuit and a more precise driving experience. The engine is the same as Bugatti used in the Chiron; It has 16 cylinders arranged in W, 8.0 liters of displacement and gives 1500 HP of power. The traction is on all four wheels and the gearbox is automatic double clutch type and seven relations.
In order to improve agility, the angle of fall of the wheels has been modified. Due to this, the maximum speed is limited to 380 km / h (a driving mode specifically designed to achieve a higher speed is not available, the Chiron reaches 420 km / h). According to Bugatti, the Divo can achieve a greater lateral acceleration (1.6 g in the Handling mode, does not specify the value of the Chiron) and can complete a return to the circuit of Nardò (Italy) eight seconds faster. The official acceleration data between 0 and 100 km / h is 2.4 seconds, while in the Chiron, Bugatti says it is less than 2.5 seconds.
The Divo has a mass 35 kg lower than that of the Chiron (1995 kg compared to 2030). This reduction is due to several modifications, among which are new lighter tires, a cover for the intercooler that is now made of carbon fiber, a lighter sound system, a reduction of the insulating material of the passenger compartment, the withdrawal of several hollows slides and a few ailerons in the lower part of the bumper that are now fixed instead of mobile.
The Divo has a new rear spoiler that can be adjusted in height. Like that of the Chiron, it can act as an aid to braking by opposing more or less air resistance (it has several positions that correspond to the different driving modes). It measures 1.83 meters wide, 27% more than that of Chiron. This aileron increases the air pressure on the body of the vehicle (the improvement implies a total mass equivalent to 90 kg higher, reaches 456 kg). To this increase also contributes the rear diffuser, which has been resigned and keeps four exhaust outlets embedded.
At the front, Bugatti has installed a new bumper that also produces more downward pressure and diverts more air towards the front intake cooling system, which has a higher performance. The hood is also newly designed, with air intakes that, among other things, contribute to greater aerodynamic efficiency (no data on the aerodynamic coefficient).
To improve its performance, the brake cooling system has also been modified. The air used by the system comes from four sources: a high-pressure area in the upper part of the front bumper, some inlets in the front fins, an entrance in the front radiator and the diffusers that are located in the front part of the wheels . Some blades are responsible for redirecting cold air from these areas to the brake discs (420 mm in diameter front and 400 behind). As in the Chiron, the brake system of the Divo has a thermal screen designed to evacuate the heat but, in this case, is optimized by the suction effect that creates the air curtain of the wheels.
The roof has been designed to create an optimized air intake duct type NACA, which together with a cover for the newly designed engine, increase the mass of air that reaches the cooling system of the engine.
According to Bugatti, both the steering and the suspension have been modified to improve the driving feel. There are three driving modes; Bugatti calls them EB, Autobahn and Handling.
The Divo is named after Albert Divo, a French motor racing driver who won the Targa Florio race with Bugatti twice in the 1920s. The length of the vehicle is 4.64 meters, 10 cm more than the Chiron.
