Discover the exclusive Bugatti FKP Hommage, a handcrafted tribute to Ferdinand Karl Piëch and the first Veyron. Explore its design, specs, and legacy today!
Bugatti has unveiled the second masterpiece of its exclusive Programme Solitaire: the Bugatti FKP Hommage. This one‑off hypercar celebrates both the legendary engineer Ferdinand Karl Piëch and the very first Bugatti Veyron, blending historic DNA with today’s cutting‑edge craftsmanship.
Design inspiration rooted in history
While the original Veyron set a benchmark for speed, the FKP Hommage draws its lines directly from that iconic silhouette. Every curve, from the massive front air intakes to the twin rear vent portals, echoes the classic hypercar while adding a modern, aggressive flair.
Exterior – a showcase of bespoke engineering
The front grille has been re‑imagined as a 3D horse‑shoe lattice, machined from a solid block of aluminium and widened for an even more commanding presence. A special layered‑paint process coats the body in a deep, glossy red over a silver‑aluminium underlayer, creating a striking three‑dimensional visual effect.
Exposed carbon‑fiber strips replace traditional black paint, contrasting with a subtle 10% black pigment mixed into the transparent red lacquer for a tactile, high‑tech finish. The car rolls on 20‑inch chrome‑plated 12‑spoke wheels up front and 21‑inch at the rear, shod with dedicated Michelin tyres.
Interior – luxury redefined
Inside, the FKP Hommage abandons conventional leather for a proprietary Paris‑made fabric called Car Couture, first introduced on the Bugatti Tourbillon concept. The round, Bauhaus‑style steering wheel pays homage to the Veyron’s original cockpit.
Door panels feature Car Couture upholstery accented with premium brown leather, while the central console and gearbox housing are hand‑crafted from solid aluminium billets. A bespoke 41 mm Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Tourbillon watch crowns the centre console, underscoring the car’s horological ties.
Personal touches include Pierre Veyron’s signature on the knee‑rest, alongside Ferdinand Karl Piëch’s initials and birthdate, and the “Solitaire” coach‑build logo emblazoned on the front fascia.
Powertrain – relentless performance
At its heart lies the 8.0‑litre W16 engine, the same powerhouse that drives the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport. Delivering a staggering 1,600 hp and 1,600 Nm of torque, the engine is paired with a seven‑speed dual‑clutch gearbox and an all‑wheel‑drive system that provides continuous traction.
While official acceleration figures and top‑speed numbers remain under wraps, the FKP Hommage is built to match the blistering performance standards of Bugatti’s flagship models.
Limited production – a living legacy
The FKP Hommage is the second exclusive model under the Programme Solitaire, which caps production at just two units per year. Each vehicle is a fully bespoke creation, with a unique body, interior, and personalized details that tell the story of Bugatti’s heritage.
The identity of the inaugural owner has not been disclosed, preserving the mystique that surrounds this collector’s dream.
Conclusion
With its blend of historic homage, avant‑garde design, and uncompromising performance, the Bugatti FKP Hommage stands as a tribute not only to a visionary engineer but also to the timeless allure of the Veyron. It reinforces Bugatti’s reputation as the ultimate steward of automotive artistry.
