There is no S-Works Diverge 4. For the first time in over a decade, Specialized's gravel range has no flagship tier above the Pro LTD, and that's not a rumor of one coming later — it's the whole lineup as released.
Specialized says the Pro LTD has already proven itself with athletes and shown its capabilities in races, which is the stated reason for cutting S-Works rather than adding a cheaper option beneath it. The Pro LTD sits at £8,499 with a claimed 8.01kg weight, and all carbon Diverge 4 frames now share FACT 9r carbon that used to be reserved for lower-tier bikes. Consolidating the range around one carbon layup instead of splitting it between S-Works and everything else is a rationalization move, not an expansion.
