Few people will ever get the chance to drive one, but fortunately, the team at Top Gear have shared the experience with us all via their YouTube channel. Getting behind the wheel of multi-million dollar hypercars is a tough job, but someone has to do it. In this case, the team behind BBC\u2019s Top Gear get their hands on the ultra-exclusive Bugatti Divo hypercar. Not only does the sky-high price tag of $7.2m make it exclusive, but to qualify for ownership you have to already own a Bugatti Chiron which costs a cool $3m by itself. That\u2019s a total of $10.2m worth of hypercars! The Bugatti Divo Based on the Chiron, the Bugatti Divo shares the same 8l, quad-turbocharged W16 engine putting out a mind-bending 1479bhp. Despite sharing the same engine, the Divo is a completely different beast indeed. Getting behind the wheel of the Divo for the first time, Jack is quick to point out the \u201cinstant\u201d throttle response and \u201ctenacious\u201d grip of the Divo. Designed to maximize downforce, the Divo creates an incredible 456kg of downforce at its peak, thanks to it\u2019s unique and aggressive design. As expected, this 1479bhp hypercar is no slouch. Dispatching 0-60 in just 2.4s, Jack describes the driving sensation in a unique way. When the first pair of turbos spool up, it\u2019s \u201cnormal supercar quick\u201d but once the second pair begins to wind up, the sensation of speed is described as a \u201cblurry, new trousers please hit\u201d due to the sudden and aggressive increase in acceleration. The noise from the Divo\u2019s quad-exit exhaust pipes backs up these aggressive figures, producing a snarling \u2018howl\u2019 under heavy acceleration. This is accompanied by the induction noise of all four turbochargers sucking in as much air as possible, resulting in a unique and intimidating sound. Despite the size of the car, it handles far better than expected and will \u201cshatter assumptions\u201d of anyone that gets behind the wheel according to Jack. Cornering the Divo is apparently akin to steering an everyday family car, thanks to it\u2019s \u201clight and bright\u201d feel and clever suspension setup. Above all, this is an insane performance car that is apparently easy to drive. Jack sums it up perfectly by saying \u201cYou wouldn\u2019t, but you could drive it every single day.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>$7.2m Bugatti Divo blows away Top Gear hosts in insane test drive YouTube: Top GearThe incredible Bugatti Divo is the new \u2018halo\u2019 car for french manufacturers Bugatti, costing $7.2m.
