Bugatti has unveiled the second masterpiece of its exclusive Programme Solitaire: the Bugatti F.K.P. Hommage. Inspired by the very first Bugatti Veyron, this ultra‑rare hypercar pays heartfelt tribute to Ferdinand Karl Piëch, the visionary who laid the groundwork for the iconic W16 engine.
Design Inspiration and Aerodynamics
The Hommage reinterprets the classic Veyron silhouette with a dramatically larger front air intake and a 3‑D horse‑bit grille, all milled from a single block of aluminium. A bespoke, oversized rear diffuser and enlarged venturi tunnels preserve the original hypercar’s signature airflow, delivering both visual drama and functional downforce.
Exterior Finish and Materials
The body is cloaked in a special two‑tone paint scheme: a radiant red topcoat sits over a silver‑aluminium base, creating an eye‑catching depth effect. Exposed carbon‑fiber accents are finished in matte black, contrasting with a subtle 10% black pigment blended into the transparent lacquer for a tactile, multi‑dimensional appearance.
Chrome‑plated 12‑spoke wheels echo the Veyron’s original design, measuring 20‑inches at the front and 21‑inches at the rear, paired with bespoke Michelin tires.
Interior – A Modern Bauhaus Revival
Inside, the Hommage departs from the leather‑heavy cabins of the Chiron and W16 Mistral, opting for Bugatti’s exclusive Car Couture fabric, first introduced on the Tourbillon concept. The steering wheel returns to the round Bauhaus‑style of the original Veyron, while door panels combine Car Couture with premium brown leather for a refined tactile experience.
centerpiece elements include a hand‑crafted aluminium centre console, a bespoke gearbox tunnel, and an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Tourbillon 41 mm watch integrated into the dashboard. The knee‑side panels display Pierre Veyron’s signature alongside Ferdinand Karl Piëch’s initials and birthdate, underscoring the car’s commemorative purpose.
Powertrain – The Legendary W16
At its heart lies the 8.0‑litre W16 engine, taken directly from the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport. The power unit delivers a staggering 1,600 hp and 1,600 Nm of torque, paired with a 7‑speed dual‑clutch transmission and all‑wheel drive. Performance figures such as 0‑60 mph time and top speed remain under wraps, preserving the mystery surrounding this singular creation.
Limited Production and Heritage
The F.K.P. Hommage is the second offering from Programme Solitaire, a coach‑building initiative that caps production at just two units per year. Each vehicle is a completely bespoke reinterpretation of Bugatti’s chassis and interior, crafted to tell a unique chapter of the marque’s storied heritage.
While the identity of the owner of this one‑off masterpiece remains undisclosed, the Hommage stands as a rolling tribute to a pioneer and a model that shaped the future of hyper‑performance automobiles.
For enthusiasts and collectors alike, the Bugatti F.K.P. Hommage represents the ultimate fusion of history, craftsmanship, and cutting‑edge engineering.
