Imagine a car so rare that even having crores in your bank account isn’t enough to buy it. That is the Bugatti Divo. While car lovers in India often talk about the Bugatti Veyron or Chiron, the Divo is on a completely different level of exclusivity.

Recently, searches for the Bugatti Divo have spiked in India. People are curious: What is the price of the Bugatti Divo in India? Does any Indian own one? And is it actually road-legal here?

In this article, we break down everything you need to know about this multi-crore hypercar, its mind-blowing features, and why you will likely never see one on Indian roads.

What is the Bugatti Divo?

The Bugatti Divo is a mid-engine track-focused hypercar manufactured by Bugatti Automobiles S.A.S. in France. It was named after Albert Divo, a French racing driver who won the famous Targa Florio race twice for Bugatti in the 1920s.

Unlike the Bugatti Chiron, which is designed for top speed, the Divo is designed for agility and handling. It is made to conquer corners and winding roads. Bugatti made only 40 units of the Divo for the entire world, making it one of the rarest cars in history.

Bugatti Divo Price in India (Estimated)

If you look up the price of the Bugatti Divo, you will see a figure of $5.8 million. However, that is just the base price in the USA or Europe. If someone wanted to import this car to India, the cost would be shockingly higher due to taxes.

Here is the simple math for the Indian market:

• Base Price: Approx. ₹41 Crore (International price)
• Import Duty (Customs): India charges over 100% tax on imported luxury cars.
• Registration & Insurance: Crores more for RTO and insurance.

Total Estimated Price in India: ₹80 Crore to ₹100 Crore

Yes, you read that right. To park a Bugatti Divo in Mumbai or Delhi, you would likely need to spend nearly ₹100 Crore.

Engine and Performance Specs

The Bugatti Divo shares its heart with the Chiron, but it is tuned differently. It uses the legendary 8.0-liter Quad-Turbo W16 engine.

• Engine: 8.0L W16 (16 Cylinders)
• Power: 1,500 PS (1,479 Horsepower)
• Torque: 1,600 Nm
• 0 to 100 km/h: 2.4 Seconds
• Top Speed: 380 km/h (Electronically limited)

Why is it “Slower” than the Chiron?

Many fans notice that the Divo’s top speed (380 km/h) is lower than the Chiron’s (420 km/h). This is intentional. The Divo has specialized aerodynamics to create more downforce (grip). This makes it stick to the road better in sharp turns but creates more air resistance, which slightly lowers the top speed.

Who Owns a Bugatti Divo in India?

This is the most common question: “Does Mukesh Ambani or SRK own a Bugatti Divo?”

The answer is No.

Currently, there are no confirmed owners of the Bugatti Divo in India.

• Why? The car was limited to only 40 units worldwide. Bugatti only offered the Divo to customers who already owned a Bugatti Chiron. All 40 units were sold out immediately before the car was even shown to the public.
• Indian Connections: While no one in India owns one, some wealthy Indians living abroad (like real estate moguls in the USA or Dubai) are known for owning Bugattis, such as the Chiron. However, the Divo remains elusive.

Can You Buy a Bugatti Divo Now?

Unfortunately, you cannot walk into a showroom and buy a Divo.

1. Sold Out: All 40 units were sold instantly upon launch in 2018.
2. Discontinued: Production has ended.
3. Used Market: The only way to get one now is if one of the 40 original owners decides to sell. In the second-hand market, the price will likely be higher than the original price because it is a collector’s item.

Why Does It Matter?

The Bugatti Divo represents the peak of automotive engineering. It shows what is possible when money is no object. For Indian car enthusiasts, it remains a “poster car”—something to admire from a distance or in video games, as seeing one on our potholes-filled roads is technically and financially nearly impossible.
