Mayweather’s name is famous in the world of boxing as well as car collections. He is the owner of one of the most luxurious and famous car collections to date. Whichever classy and powerful car you think of, it is likely that he owns it. His collection is worth millions of dollars, showing how he spends his wealth on making his passion come to life.
While his collection has come of the best cars in the world, it is surely missing one car: Bugatti Divo. It is known as one of the fastest and most powerful cars one can ever find, with its popularity highlighted by the fact that it was sold out on the day of its release itself.
It is a huge surprise that Mayweather has not added this car to his collection as of now. If you are curious about what makes this car so special, here are 15 facts for you:
15 Said To Be The Most Agile Bugatti Ever Made
Bugatti is world-famous for the production of powerful and fast cars. So, if there is a car produced by them which is known for being the most agile out of them all - it is a must to buy. With the Divo being the most agile Bugatti out there, it is the most powerful one you can purchase.
14 It Costs $5.8 Million Dollars
At this price, the cost of the car is twice that of Chiron. This is not a surprise considering all the significant upgrades it has in comparison by being better in cornering, agility, acceleration. It is lighter as well. Besides, a car of this class and luxury can only come at such a price.
13 It Was Named After Albert Divo
Who is Albert Divo? A French man with the honor of winning the famous Targa Florio mountain race two times for Bugatti. The enormity of this achievement is showcased by how this man has one of the most powerful cars named after himself. It is truly a huge honor and is well deserved!
12 All 40 Units Sold Before It Was Even Unveiled
This car was unveiled on its 100th anniversary, on which just 40 units of it were released priced at €5-million each. It wasn’t a shocker that all 40 units had been sold before the day of the unveiling itself. One cannot expect anything different from a car as monumental as this one.
11 77 Pounds Lighter Than The Chiron, Weighing In At 4,398 Lbs
To create immense acceleration and greater downforce, Bugatti spent a long time upgrading the Chiron to make it as light as possible. One way this was done was through the removal of weight (a total of 77 pounds). Due to this difference, the car became much faster than the Chiron.
10 Produces 198 Pounds Of Extra Downforce.
In comparison to the Chiron, the Bugatti Divo produces up to 198 pounds more downforce. While it comes with the same quad-turbo eight-liter W16 and 1,479 horsepower engine, all the new aerodynamic elements it consists of result in the generation of 1,005 pounds of total downforce. The grip of the car is incredible as a result.
9 Six-Foot-Wide Hydraulic Wing
To get an upgrade from aerodynamics in comparison to the Chiron, Bugatti created a highly impressive six-foot-long rear wing. It is fully active and hydraulically assisted. The unique shape of the roof directs air towards the wing, and thus, ensures that everything is performing as efficiently as possible. Additionally, it also improves the aerodynamics of the car.
8 1.6G Lateral Acceleration Is Better Than The Chiron
In comparison to the Chiron, the Bugatti Divo is superior in agility, cornering and acceleration. This showcases that at last, Bugatti is concentrating on producing a car that can corner in just an impressive a manner as it accelerates. It also shows their shift towards focusing on track performance instead.
7 Top Speed Is Limited To 236 Mph
Strangely enough, the Bugatti Divo has a lower top speed in comparison to the Chiron. The Chiron has a top speed of 261 mph, while the top speed of the Bugatti Divo is 236 mph. It has been made clear that this difference is because 236 mph was too high a speed for tires to be able to handle.
6 Laps The 3.85-Mile Nardo Circuit 8 Seconds Faster Than Chiron
Nardo is one of the most challenging circuits in the world. It isn’t that long too, making the results of the Bugatti Divo even more awe-inspiring. It finished the 3.85 mile Nardo lap eight seconds faster than the Chiron. This is enough to show that there’s a significant performance difference between the Chiron and Divo.
5 Top Part Is Finished In Titanium Liquid Silver, Lower Part Is Divo Racing Blue
This unique color scheme is one that is available with just the Bugatti Divo. Although, of course, buyers have the option of customizing the car according to what they desire. This unique color scheme is just one of the numerous aspects which make it a stand-out model. It adds more to the allure of the vehicle.
4 Recalibrated Suspension Ensures Sportier Handling
This was a very useful and necessary change as it allowed for more ease and greater flexibility while driving, two aspects which are especially important when one is driving at an extremely high speed. It is features like this which make the Bugatti Divo a premium race car. The car absolutely darts around!
3 The Bugatti Name On The Rear End Instead Of The EB Logo.
It appears that this is a feature that might be found on all Bugatti limited edition cars from now. Considering everything the Divo has to offer, and how impressive it is in comparison to other Bugatti cars out there, it makes sense for the Divo to be like a sub-brand of its own.
2 All-New Front End With Larger Air Intakes
This all-new front end has a more pronounced splitter and is a wider and more dominant Bugatti horseshoe. The Divo comes with very thin light segments (their width being 35 millimeters) which are positioned at the edges to create the illusion of an even wider car. It ensures that the look of the car is imposing.
1 3-D Rear Lights With 44 LEDs
One of the best things about this car is that it looks like a concept car when all of its lights are switched on. There is only one car that can come close in comparison - the rear of the Aston Martin Vulcan, as that is the only other car that has been able to pull off something this astounding and futuristic.
