Rule one of the Bugatti Divo: do not try to rationalise it your head will explode and you"ll ruin the carpet. At 5m a pop, it"s twice the price of a Bugatti Chiron, so unless the propshaft is forged in gold, dipped in unicorn poo and rolled in diamonds, it"s not a number that can be justified by any normal means. No, the key here is exclusivity. It might use the same 1,479bhp behemoth of an engine as the Chiron does, but everything else is stiffer, lighter and generally madder, refocusing the car not on top speed, but going around corners like an LMP1 race car. Only 40 will be produced (that"s 40 on top of the 500 Chirons Bugatti is already building), and you can"t have one. Despite buyers having to be proposed by a dealer and own a Chiron already, it sold out immediately. And yes, more than one of the 40 bought a Chiron just to get their hands on the 5m fruit.
