Bugatti is going to raise the bar in the hypercar segment with the all-new Divo, a model that builds upon the Chiron with a few styling and mechanical upgrades.
The new exotic will be unveiled today, at 11:20 AM PDT (2:20 PM EST or 20:20 CEST) at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance in California, and the premiere will be live streamed in the feed right below.
Visitors of the show who’d like to see the Divo in person will have to visit ‘Le Domaine Bugatti’, which will be in a new location this year, across from the Concours Office.
So far, Bugatti hasn’t given us much info concerning the Divo, except for a few quotes by President Stephan Winkelmann. The Molsheim brand’s official said that the hypercar is “made for corners”, is lighter, more agile and has higher downforce than the Chiron.
The Divo benefits from “a new and strong design language”, and it could offer a bit more power over the Chiron’s non-too-shabby 1,479 hp (1,500 PS / 1,103 kW) and 1,180 lb-ft (1,600 Nm) of torque.
Earlier sources indicated that Bugatti prepped a new, motorsport-derived transmission, too, so that would make for a more brutal experience – plus, it might also shave a few tenths of a second from the Chiron’s “less than 2.5 seconds” 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) sprint time.
Fortunately, we don’t have to wait that long to find out what the Divo is made of, as the curtain is about to be raised for one of the most exciting, and unexpected, launches of the year.
