Bugatti Divo

This Bugatti Divo Paint Job Reportedly Cost R15 Million

Popular YouTuber TheStradMan recently managed to join his friend to take delivery of his very special Bugatti.

For starters, it is a Bugatti Divo which makes it one of just 40 units worldwide. The owner of this Divo, who owns some other very special Molsheim creations, decided to go to town on the spec. According to the YouTube cover shot the intricate paint job cost the owner an additional $1 million (approx. R15 million).

If this is accurate, that could make it the most expensive paint job in the automotive world. It is not that hard to imagine such an astronomical price tag when the Divo base price sits at €5 million.

R280 Million Bugatti Divo Trio Delivered In California

Bugatti will only be making 40 units of the Divo and the Bugatti Beverly Hills managed to get 10% of those as four units have come through them to the lucky clients.

We have already seen one of them nicknamed ‘Ladybug’ which sports the $1 million paint job and the next three (seen here) were all delivered together making for quite the photo and video opportunity.

While temperatures stagnate around zero in Molsheim, the headquarters of the French luxury brand, the three Divo fresh from production were able to demonstrate their skills under the Californian sun at the Thermal Club in Palm Desert, California.

Bugatti Divo Lady Bug

Bugatti customers appreciate the exceptional. With the Bugatti Divo 'Lady Bug', the French luxury brand has once again demonstrated its high level of expertise in outstanding bespoke application and hand craftsmanship. In the timeframe of around two years, a very special Divo was created in close collaboration with one Bugatti customer, tailored with a one-of-a-kind custom paint scheme among other truly unique features.

"Every Bugatti Divo is one of a kind. With the custom-made 'Lady Bug', Bugatti has demonstrated the full range of its customization expertise. What initially seemed impossible was executed to perfection by the designers and developers in collaboration with the customer," says Stephan Winkelmann, President of Bugatti. "We are proud to have matched the customer's personal taste and expectations with this unique Divo. The car really demonstrates what the marque is capable of in terms of creativity and craftsmanship." The work on this automotive masterpiece is a symbiosis of art, design and technology. Entirely in line with the philosophy of company founder Ettore Bugatti, who once said: "If it bears comparison with another car, it is not a Bugatti."

What Bugatti customers want, Bugatti customers get…

Welcome to an especially outrageous Bugatti Divo, with paintwork so complex the company nearly gave up trying to realise their customer’s request because it was simply too hard to get right.

Yup – the collector who ordered this Divo asked Bugatti to come up with a “geometric-dynamic algorithmic fading pattern” to make his car stand-out from the 39 others it’s building. The company obliged, and after a fraught development process lasting around two years, were able to deliver the “Lady Bug” to its lucky owner in the USA.

The tricky bit was precisely applying all the diamond stencils to the bodywork. Bugatti says that “owing to the three-dimensional, sculptural form of the Divo with its contours, curves and ribs, the 2D-printed diamonds became distorted”, and that it took weeks for designers “to match the CAD data with reality and pull the film over the deeply concave surface without the diamonds becoming distorted or developing folds”.

 
Final Bugatti Divo Delivered To Lucky Owner

The Bugatti Divo first showed its face to us in 2018 at the annual Pebble Beach gathering so it’s only fitting that the last example graces the world stage just a few weeks before the 2021 gala.

The final build of the 40-unit production run is heading to a lucky European based owner and although the spec is not out of this world it is still a sensational looking hypercar.

The exterior wears a primary shade of Bugatti EB 110 LM Blue, with Blue Carbon serving as the secondary contrast. Moving inside you’ll find more blue, specifically French Racing Blue with Deep Blue and flat grey carbon. According to Bugatti, there isn’t a single Divo in the entire production run that matches another.
