Four special Bugatti hypercars meet at the Nürburgring: Chiron Super Sport 300+, Pur Sport, Divo and Centodieci

In places with the highest hypercar density per m² on the planet-Monaco, London or Dubai, for example-it is fairly easy to “spot” a Bugatti. Seeing four cars from Molsheim in the same place, all of them different, is another matter entirely-one that many of us petrolheads will never witness.

It sounds almost too good to be true. Yet anyone who has been at the Nürburgring in recent days could watch four of today’s most special Bugatti models running together-“La Voiture Noire”, as a “one-off”, does not count here: Chiron Super Sport 300+, Chiron Pur Sport, Divo and Centodieci.

Put the numbers together and Bugatti-headquartered in the French region of Alsace-brought a total of €19.5 million to the legendary German track, often nicknamed the Green Hell: €8 million for the Centodieci, €5 million for the Divo, €3.5 million for the Chiron Super Sport 300+ and €3 million for the Chiron Pur Sport.

Why Bugatti brought its hypercars to the Nürburgring

So what sparked this Bugatti “family gathering” at the Nürburgring? According to the French brand, which took six engineers to “The Ring”, the German circuit hosted a full programme of testing across the range, allowing the team to gather precise data on each model.

Nürburgring Nordschleife: a demanding engineering test

The Nordschleife’s unusual layout is exactly what makes it one of the toughest circuits on the planet. At 20.8 km long, it features 33 left-hand bends, 40 right-hand bends, gradients up to 17% and 300 metres of elevation change. In practice, that combination creates a kind of “perfect recipe” for engineers to assess multiple parameters at the same time.

The four Bugatti “jewels”

The most exclusive car in this quartet is the Centodieci. Just 10 units will be built, each with a pre-tax base price of €8 million, placing it among the most exclusive hypercars available today.

Positioned as a sort of successor to the EB110, the Centodieci uses the same quad-turbo W16 found in the Chiron, but with output increased by 100 hp to 1600 hp (at 7000 rpm).

With that figure, the Centodieci can complete the familiar sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.4s, reach 200 km/h in 6.1s and hit 300 km/h in just 13.1s. Top speed, meanwhile, is electronically limited to 380 km/h.

Slightly less exclusive-production is capped at 30 examples-the Chiron Super Sport 300+ is no less significant. It is the road-going production version of the Chiron that reached 304.773 mph (or 490.484 km/h), becoming the first road car to break the 300 mph barrier.

It runs the same 1600 hp quad-turbo W16 specification as the Centodieci, but pairs it with a longer body designed for “high extreme speeds beyond 420 km/h”.

The Divo, on the other hand, was created with a single mission: “to be sportier and more agile in corners, but without sacrificing comfort”.

To achieve this, Bugatti’s engineers reworked everything from the chassis to the aerodynamics, alongside the always-crucial “diet”, which trimmed 35 kg compared with the Chiron.

Mechanically, however, it carries over the Chiron’s hardware unchanged. In other words, the Bugatti Divo retains the 8.0-litre W16 and 1500 hp.

Less extreme than the Divo and more focused on driving, the Chiron Pur Sport received updates to aerodynamics, suspension and transmission, and also went through a weight-loss programme that allowed it to “cut” 50 kg versus other Chirons.

With production limited to 60 units, the Chiron Pur Sport is powered by the 8.0-litre W16 producing 1500 hp and needs just 2.3s to reach 100 km/h and under 12s to get to 300 km/h.
