Bugatti has unveiled the second masterpiece from its ultra‑exclusive Programme Solitaire: the Bugatti F.K.P. Hommage. Inspired by the very first Bugatti Veyron and created as a heartfelt salute to Ferdinand Karl Piëch—the visionary behind the W16 engine—this one‑off hypercar pushes the limits of craftsmanship, performance, and bespoke luxury.
Design Inspiration
The Hommage draws directly from the iconic silhouette of the 2005 Veyron, yet every surface has been re‑engineered for modern relevance. Large, aerodynamic air intakes dominate the front, while a 3‑D horse‑shoe grille—machined from a solid block of aluminium—pays homage to Bugatti’s heritage.
Exterior Highlights
- Exclusive red paint: A multi‑layer coating combines a silver‑aluminium base with a translucent ruby‑red finish, delivering a striking depth‑perception effect.
- Carbon‑fiber accents: Contrasting black carbon elements replace conventional black paint, enhanced by a 10 % black pigment in the clear coat for a tactile visual richness.
- Chrome‑plated 12‑spoke wheels: 20‑inch front and 21‑inch rear wheels, true to the original Veyron design, are paired with bespoke Michelin tires.
- Modern lighting: Updated front and rear light clusters echo the Veyron’s aesthetic while incorporating the latest LED technology.
Interior Luxury
The cabin is a complete departure from the Chiron and the forthcoming W16 Mistral. It features a round, Bauhaus‑style steering wheel reminiscent of the classic Veyron, while traditional leather is replaced by Car Couture fabric—a Paris‑crafted textile first introduced on the Bugatti Tourbillon.
Door panels inherit the Car Couture surface, blended with premium brown leather for a sophisticated contrast. The central console and drivetrain covers are handcrafted from solid aluminium blocks, each bespoke element reflecting meticulous attention to detail.
A highlight is the integration of an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Tourbillon 41 mm watch, mounted on the center console, underscoring the car’s watch‑maker level of precision.
Personal touches include a knee‑side plaque signed by racing legend Pierre Veyron, alongside Ferdinand Karl Piëch’s initials and birthdate. The front bumper proudly displays the “Solitaire” coach‑build program logo.
Powertrain
At the heart of the Hommage lies the legendary 8.0‑litre W16 engine with four turbochargers—the same powerplant that fuels the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport. It churns out a jaw‑dropping 1,600 hp and 1,600 Nm of torque, paired with a 7‑speed dual‑clutch transmission and permanent all‑wheel drive. Acceleration figures and top‑speed numbers remain under wraps, adding to the car’s mystique.
Limited Production & Heritage
Programme Solitaire is designed to produce a maximum of two cars per year, each a fully unique reinterpretation of Bugatti’s legacy. The F.K.P. Hommage is the second such creation, celebrating the brand’s storied past while offering a canvas for modern artistry.
The owner’s identity is being kept confidential, preserving the aura of exclusivity that surrounds this collectible hypercar.
Conclusion
With its blend of historic reverence, cutting‑edge engineering, and unrivaled personalization, the Bugatti F.K.P. Hommage stands as a testament to the enduring spirit of the Veyron and the visionary genius of Ferdinand Karl Piëch. It is not merely a car—it is a moving museum piece designed for the most discerning collectors.
