Yes, absolutely. Beyond anything else so far as I'm concerned.

Well, each to their own. I guess it's personally subjective. I don't hear a sound that's anywhere near as "symphonic" as, say, the V12 in the GMA T50.

Interestingly, both engines are developed by Cosworth so the supplier's not the differentiator. I'm of the view that a V16 just can't match a V12 for pitch and range.

But it's a Bugatti bro. Neither the Chiron or Veyron were benchmarks for engine acoustics. It is not a deal breaker as the brand create hyper GTS - like a Continental GT that injects HRT and Tren to its buttocks twice a week.

No they weren't, more as a result of being quad-turbocharged than being a W16 but I'm pretty sure that any 16 cylinder engine can't match a high-revving NA V12 for acoustics.

Divo is not in the Production run of the Chiron like La Voiture Noire and Centodieci.
 
Mechanically there have been 3 variants. The standard Chiron, the Pur Sport and the Super Sport. Everything else is just meaningless marketing versions to pump up profit.

It's 250 of the base variant. For all we know, there might be another 250 units of various special (or "special") models. And even those 250 would be roughly double of most hypercars these days.

I expect there will be more in time, but this also depends on the base price. Maybe if this is something like 4M base, then they can only sell 250.
 
There was a "Sport" version too of the base model which slight mechanical upgrades. These were also confusingly retrofitted too to existing Bugatti Chiron's and I recall they had their VINS changed. I'd need to check.

Anyway couldn't careless they've sold out and Pagani apart in terms of current actual deliveried vehicles the rest are nowhere.

I'm more interested in the next vehicle.

There used to be a joke here that Bugatti made so many special editions that the base Veyron was the model exclusive model.

Agree. In some videos the W16, because of the turbos, sound like my kettle when water is boiling.

The special models are the variable production that provides Bugatti and rival elite brands great flexibility.

During covid they learned a big insight, rather than growing revenue 20-30% by increasing production or introducing new product lines, you can achieve the same by prioritising the production of flagship models or reskinning existing ones and charging 2-4x the money.

I expect to see stratospheric prices for some of the models that will be based on the new car.
 
Not much longer now. What do you think the name is gonna be?

A) named after a historical figure
B) fancy sounding French word(s)
C) return to Type ###
D) other combination of letters and numbers
E) English word(s)

Only the rear can save it for me. It definitely looks too close to Chiron, almost like a poor replica of it.

Just give it time old friend. Remember with the Pagani Utopia? Specifications etc will make vast differences.

Can anyone put a Red Bull Livery on her LOL!
