Bugatti has unveiled the second masterpiece of its exclusive Programme Solitaire – the Bugatti F.K.P. Hommage. Inspired by the very first Bugatti Veyron and conceived as a heartfelt homage to Ferdinand Karl Piëch, the engineer who laid the foundations for the iconic W16 power unit, this hyper‑car is a singular, hand‑crafted work of automotive art.
Design Inspiration
The F.K.P. Hommage draws directly from the original Veyron’s silhouette while reinterpreting every element with modern craftsmanship. Large aerodynamic intakes dominate the front, feeding a newly forged 3‑D horse‑shoe grille machined from a solid block of aluminium. The design pays respect to the classic silhouette but pushes the boundaries of aerodynamics and visual impact.
Exterior Highlights
Finished in an exclusive deep‑red lacquer, the paintwork employs a multi‑layer process: a silver‑aluminium primer lies beneath a transparent, high‑gloss red coat, creating a striking three‑dimensional depth. Exposed carbon‑fiber panels are left in their natural black hue, contrasted by a subtle 10% black pigment mixed into the clear coat for a tactile and visual richness.
The car rides on bespoke 12‑spoke chrome wheels – 20 inches up front and 21 inches rear – shod with dedicated Michelin tires. Updated front and rear light clusters echo the Veyron’s styling while featuring contemporary LED technology. The rear retains the classic large vent that characterises the original hyper‑car.
Interior Luxury
Inside, the F.K.P. Hommage abandons traditional leather for a Paris‑crafted, exclusive fabric called Car Couture, originally showcased on the Bugatti Tourbillon concept. The cabin showcases a round, Bauhaus‑style steering wheel reminiscent of the Veyron, while door panels combine the Car Couture material with premium brown leather for a refined touch.
Materials & Craftsmanship
The central console and drivetrain housing are entirely bespoke, milled from solid aluminium billets. A 41 mm Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Tourbillon watch is integrated into the console, underscoring the watchmaker‑car collaboration.
Personal touches abound: the knee‑rest bears the signature of racing legend Pierre Veyron, alongside Ferdinand Karl Piëch’s initials and birth date. The front apron proudly displays the coach‑build “Solitaire” logo.
Powertrain
At its heart lies an 8.0‑litre W16 engine, the same powerhouse that fuels the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport. Delivering a staggering 1,600 hp and 1,600 Nm of torque, the engine is paired with a 7‑speed dual‑clutch transmission and an all‑wheel‑drive system that operates continuously, ensuring unparalleled traction and performance.
Specific acceleration figures and top‑speed numbers have not been disclosed, preserving the mystique of this one‑off creation.
Exclusivity & Legacy
The F.K.P. Hommage is the second automobile produced under the ultra‑exclusive Programme Solitaire, which limits production to a maximum of two cars per year. Each vehicle is a wholly new reinterpretation of the body, interior, and bespoke details, aiming to tell a new chapter of Bugatti’s storied heritage.
The identity of the private owner remains confidential, adding to the allure of this singular masterpiece that celebrates both the legendary Veyron and the visionary Ferdinand Karl Piëch.
