Introduction
Bugatti has unveiled the F.K.P. Hommage, the second masterpiece of its ultra‑exclusive Programme Solitaire. Built as a singular, coach‑built hypercar, this model honors Ferdinand Karl Piëch – the visionary behind the original W16 power unit – and the very first Bugatti Veyron ever produced.
Design inspiration and exterior styling
The Hommage draws directly from the iconic silhouette of the 2005 Veyron, re‑interpreting classic cues with modern craftsmanship. A massive front air intake, a three‑dimensional horse‑shoe grille machined from a solid block of aluminium, and an enlarged wind tunnel channel give the car a commanding presence.
- Rich, deep‑red paint finished with a multi‑layer process that sandwiches a silver aluminium base beneath a clear lacquer for a three‑dimensional visual effect.
- Exposed black carbon fibre replaces traditional black paint, creating subtle contrast with a 10% black pigment blended into the transparent clear coat.
- Chrome‑plated 12‑spoke wheels – 20‑inch at the front, 21‑inch at the rear – paired with bespoke Michelin tires.
- Updated front and rear light clusters echo the Veyron’s signature look while incorporating contemporary LED technology.
Two large rear air vents, a hallmark of classic hypercars, remain intact, reinforcing the car’s aerodynamic heritage.
Interior – bespoke luxury redefined
Inside, the Hommage abandons the traditional leather of the Veyron in favour of an exclusive Car Couture fabric, a Paris‑designed textile first introduced on the Bugatti Tourbillon concept. The dashboard and door panels feature the same Car Couture material combined with premium brown leather accents.
A round Bauhaus‑style steering wheel, reminiscent of the original Veyron, sits beneath a centre console crafted from solid aluminium. The console houses a limited‑edition Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Tourbillon 41 mm timepiece, underscoring the car’s watch‑maker level of precision.
Special touches include Pierre Veyron’s signature on the knee‑rest area and the initials with birthdate of Ferdinand Karl Piëch, while the front apron proudly displays the “Solitaire” coach‑build badge.
Powertrain and performance
At its heart lies an 8.0‑litre W16 engine with four turbochargers – the same architecture that powers the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport. The power output remains a staggering 1,600 hp and 1,600 Nm of torque, mated to a seven‑speed dual‑clutch gearbox and an all‑wheel‑drive system.
While official acceleration and top‑speed figures have not yet been disclosed, the engine’s lineage promises performance that rivals the fastest production cars on the planet.
Exclusivity and legacy
The F.K.P. Hommage is the second creation of the Programme Solitaire, a project limited to just two units per year. Each car is fully bespoke, with a completely reimagined body, interior, and personalised details that tell the story of Bugatti’s heritage.
The identity of the inaugural owner remains confidential, adding an extra layer of mystique to this living piece of automotive history.
Conclusion
With its reverent nod to the original Veyron, masterful use of carbon fibre, and luxurious Car Couture interiors, the Bugatti F.K.P. Hommage stands as a timeless tribute to both a legendary engineer and an iconic supercar. It exemplifies how the brand continues to blend cutting‑edge performance with unparalleled craftsmanship for a privileged few.
