After several teasers, the Bugatti Divo was finally revealed at Pebble Beach. The Divo is essentially a Chiron but with completely overhauled exterior and aerodynamic bits to make it very agile.
July has been a month littered with tiny recalls by different manufacturers. Here is the list of all cars that were recalled in the past month.
There are two ways to make a car go faster. Add more power or lose some weight. In the case of the Bugatti Chiron, which is filled to the brim with power, the latter is the most favoured choice. So, at the ongoing Geneva Motor Show, Bugatti uncovered the Bugatti Chiron Sport, which is 18 kilos lighter, faster around corners, and preposterously more expensive.
There are certain things that happen only once in a lifetime. One of them is the chance to drive a Bugatti of any sort. When the Veyron was new in 2005, George W. Bush was still the U.S. president and the iPhone was still a passing thought in Steve Jobs’ mind. Of course, now we have the Chiron. Our resident journosaur Gautam Sharma drove one at the global launch event in Portugal last year. And this winter, I was offered an exclusive drive of the exact same car right here on the roads of the UAE, with 1988 24 Hours of Le Mans champion Andy Wallace as co-driver.
Here is a list of recalls that were initiated in December 2017.
VW-owned French hypercar manufacturer Bugatti have opened doors to their largest showroom in the world, in Dubai. The low-volume brand is sold in the UAE via Al Habtoor Motors.
This is a case where it would be all too easy to write a paint-by-numbers story. Every single measure and statistic relating to the Chiron is so plain absurd that the numerals in themselves make interesting reading. Fifteen hundred horsepower, 1600 Nm, 0-200 kph in 6.5 seconds, 420 kph (electronically limited for safety!), 16 cylinders, four turbochargers… and even that’s barely scratching the surface.
Bugatti has officially revealed the Chiron, set to debut at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show this week.
