Discover the exclusive Bugatti F.K.P. Hommage, a handcrafted homage to the legendary Veyron and Ferdinand Karl Piëch. Explore its unique features now!
Bugatti has unveiled the second masterpiece of its Programme Solitaire – the one‑off Bugatti F.K.P. Hommage. Inspired by the very first Bugatti Veyron and created as a heartfelt tribute to Ferdinand Karl Piëch, the visionary who laid the foundations for the W‑16 power‑unit, this hypercar blends unparalleled craftsmanship with cutting‑edge engineering.
Design Philosophy
The F.K.P. Hommage reinterprets the Veyron’s silhouette while introducing bold, contemporary touches. Massive air intakes dominate the front, framed by an expanded, 3‑D horse‑shoe grille machined from a single block of aluminium. The result is a strikingly aggressive face that still respects the classic Bugatti language.
Exterior Craftsmanship
Wrapped in a bespoke deep‑red paint, the body features a multi‑layer coating system. A silver‑aluminium base lies beneath a transparent, high‑gloss red lacquer, creating depth and a vivid three‑dimensional effect that changes with the light. Exposed carbon‑fibre elements in matte black replace traditional black paint, offering a subtle contrast enhanced by a 10% black pigment mixed into the clear coat.
Rolling on bespoke 12‑spoke chrome wheels – 20 inches up front and 21 inches at the rear – the car is shod with specially reserved Michelin tyres, ensuring grip that matches its monstrous power.
Lighting and Aerodynamics
The front and rear light clusters have been modernised, echoing the Veyron’s iconic shape while embracing LED technology. Two large rear air scoops, a nod to classic hypercars, maintain the vehicle’s aerodynamic balance and give the silhouette an unmistakable presence.
Interior – A Bespoke Sanctuary
Inside, the F.K.P. Hommage departs from the leather‑laden cabins of the Veyron and Chiron. The seats and trim are upholstered in Bugatti’s exclusive Paris‑crafted Car Couture fabric, first showcased on the Bugatti Tourbillon. This textile delivers a luxurious tactile experience while reducing weight.
The dashboard features a round, Bauhaus‑inspired steering wheel reminiscent of the original Veyron. Door panels inherit the Car Couture finish from the Chiron, accented with premium brown leather. A fully bespoke centre console and transmission tunnel are machined from solid aluminium blocks, housing a limited‑edition 41 mm Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Tourbillon watch.
Personal touches abound: the knee‑area garnish bears Pierre Veyron’s signature, while an inscription honours Ferdinand Karl Piëch with his initials and birthdate. The front bumper proudly displays the “Solitaire” coach‑build logo.
Powertrain – The Same Heart, New Soul
Under the sleek bonnet roars an 8.0‑litre W‑16 engine with four turbochargers, the same powerhouse that fuels the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport. It delivers a staggering 1,600 hp and 1,600 Nm of torque, paired with a seven‑speed dual‑clutch transmission and an all‑wheel‑drive system.
While exact 0‑100 km/h times and top‑speed figures remain under wraps, the caliber of the engine guarantees performance on par with the most extreme hypercars on the market.
Limited Production & Legacy
The F.K.P. Hommage is the second exclusive vehicle from Programme Solitaire, a coach‑build initiative that caps production at two units per year. Each car is entirely re‑imagined – from bodywork and interior to bespoke details – to narrate a chapter of Bugatti’s rich heritage.
The identity of the inaugural owner has not been disclosed, preserving the aura of mystery that surrounds this singular masterpiece.
With the Bugatti F.K.P. Hommage, the French legend not only commemorates a pivotal figure in its history but also reaffirms its commitment to crafting automotive art that transcends time.
