Bugatti
Bugatti was founded in 1909 in Molsheim, Alsace (then Germany, now France), by Italian-born constructor Ettore Bugatti. The automaker built its early reputation on lightweight chassis design and Grand Prix racing dominance, led by the Type 35, which won over 2,000 races during the 1920s and 1930s. Following decades of inactivity after the post-war era, Volkswagen Group acquired the rights to the brand in 1998, building a new assembly atelier back in Molsheim.

The EB110’s permanent all-wheel drive nominally splits torque 27% to the front and 73% to the rear.

The EB110 engine has 60 valves, five per cylinder, and revs to as much as 8,250 rpm.
The EB110 uses a 3.5-litre V12 with four turbochargers and intercoolers.
The Divo’s top speed was limited to 380 km/h because the car was optimized for cornering rather than maximum-speed records.
Bugatti states a maximum lateral acceleration of 1.6 g for the Divo.
The Divo’s aerodynamics generate 90 kg more downforce than the standard Chiron.
Bugatti reduced the Divo’s weight by 35 kg compared with the standard Chiron.
