Bugatti presents in California its latest creation: the Divo. With this car, the French luxury brand has developed a super sports car tuned for agility, nimbleness and optimum handling performance on winding roads. With the Divo, Bugatti is also reviving its coachbuilding tradition. \u201cThe Divo is a further example of our design philosophy \u2018Form follows Performance\u2018. In this case, the engineers and designers aimed to create a vehicle focusing on cornering speeds and lateral dynamics,\u201d says Achim Anscheidt, Director of Design of Bugatti Automobiles, describing the design language of the new car.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\u201cOur task was to develop a vehicle which would look different from the Chiron but still be immediately recognizable as a Bugatti\u201d, Anscheidt adds. \u201cFor us designers, this meant that the three key style elements of Bugatti had to remain in place: the horseshoe-shaped front grille, the typical Bugatti signature line along the sides of the vehicle and the characteristic fin that defines the longitudinal axis of the car when viewed from above, which was derived from the Type 57 Atlantic\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>

The slimmer side line of the Divo helps make the vehicle look lower and longer. The new proportions allow a visual horizontal division of the body, which is reinforced by a special colour scheme. The top, more elegant section is painted with a matt finish in a silver colour \u201cTitanium Liquid Silver\u201d developed especially for the Divo. This effectively underpins the sculptural, muscular form of the car. The long domed areas with their smooth surfaces along the C-pillar and the rear side sections optically shift the driver\u2019s cab forwards. This gives the Divo an extremely dynamic appearance even when the vehicle is standing still.<\/p>\n<\/div>

The distinctive \u201cDivo Racing Blue\u201d is also used as an Alcantara leather tone in the interior, where it plays a special role by providing an optical split in the interior surfaces. This colour is used almost throughout the driver\u2019s section while it only provides selected accents in the darker passenger\u2019s section. Another stylistic link between interior and exterior is created by the door trims and seat areas, which feature an embroidered three-dimensional rhomboid structure with an algorithmic configuration, reinterpreting the structure of the grille and rear lights.<\/p>\n<\/div>
