Bugatti Divo
2020–2021 · Bugatti Divo — Hypercar, W16 Quad-Turbo, designed by Achim Anscheidt.
The Story
The Divo was Bugatti’s answer to the question its richest clients kept asking: what if the W16 hypercar could actually carve a corner? Revealed at The Quail in 2018 and named after Albert Divo — the works driver who won the Targa Florio twice for Bugatti in the 1920s — it is a Chiron reimagined for agility. Same 1,500 PS quad-turbo W16, but with a wider track, retuned suspension, 456 kg of downforce (90 kg more than a Chiron), and a top speed deliberately cut to 236 mph to free up cornering grip.
Only 40 were built, each ~€5 million, and all sold before the public ever saw the car. The Divo also reopened Bugatti’s coachbuilding chapter — the first of the limited ‘few-off’ specials (Centodieci, La Voiture Noire, Bolide, Mistral) that followed.
For Studio Motors it is the connoisseur’s Chiron: rarer, more focused, and the car that proved Bugatti could build for the road that bends, not just the road that’s straight.

Studio Motors POV
The most usable-as-intended of Bugatti’s coachbuilds — a W16 hypercar genuinely built to be driven hard where the road turns. Forty cars make it truly rare, and its ‘first of the modern coachbuilds’ status gives it a story the later cars borrow from.

Studio Buyer’s Brief
With only 40 built and all spoken for, condition and originality are paramount — delivery-mileage cars dominate.
