Bugatti Divo launched at €5 million. Only 40 to be produced; and sold out

French carmaker Bugatti has unveiled the Divo hypercar at the Monterey Car Week in California. Only 40 cars bearing the Divo name will be built and every car (based on the Chiron) costing €5 million has been spoken for.

The engine output is the same as the Chiron with the 8.0-litre quad-turbo W16 engine producing 1,479bhp and 1,600Nm of torque. However, despite the drop in weight, the top speed of the Divo is lower compared to the Chiron at just 380km/h due to its increased camber, downforce and the larger wing at the rear.

Inside, the Divo gets a dashboard finished in matte carbon, while the new seats which offer more lateral support are covered in Grey Alcantara.

The Divo takes its name from the legendary racing driver Albert Divo, who won the Targa Florio race twice in a Bugatti.

Mercedes-Benz S-Class Maybach uses digital light to compliment strangers

Mercedes-Benz S-Class Maybach uses digital light to compliment strangers

Mercedes-Benz has released a new video showcasing what its Digital Light system can do. Equipped on a Mercedes-Maybach S-Class, the video shows the car's headlights displaying various messages to passersby, tailoring each response to each person.

Digital Light packs over 1 million tiny reflectors inside the headlights that, when arranged a certain way, can display words or images on the ground ahead of the vehicle.

It can function as a different kind of heads-up-display, offering warnings about low-grip surfaces or blind-spot monitoring on the road ahead of the driver. It can also be used to let pedestrians know when they have the right of way, putting an arrow or crosswalk stripes on the road.
