The Bugatti Chiron has been the flagship speed demon for the automaker for some time now, but the recently teased Buggati Divo aims to claim the throne from its predecessor. Very little has been released on the upcoming hypercar, but we do know that it is based on the Chiron and will be track-focused. This focus lies in the vehicle's lightweight nature and focuses on handling. According to Bugatti president Stephan Winkelmann, "Happiness is not around the corner. It is the corner. The Divo is made for corners."
The car is being named after Albert Divo, the French driver who famously won the Targo Florio for Bugatti twice in the 1920s. Only 40 examples of the Bugatti Divo will be made available for purchase and will be priced at upwards of 5 million euros.
