Bugatti has once again pushed the boundaries of automotive artistry with the unveiling of the Bugatti F.K.P. Hommage. The one‑off hypercar is the second masterpiece from the exclusive Programme Solitaire – a coach‑build initiative that produces no more than two cars per year.
Why the F.K.P. Hommage Matters
Inspired by the very first Bugatti Veyron, the Hommage serves as a heartfelt tribute to Ferdinand Karl Piëch, the visionary who championed the original W16 engine architecture. Piëch’s engineering foresight laid the groundwork for the Veyron’s record‑shattering performance, and this bespoke model celebrates his legacy in every detail.
Exterior: A Modern Take on Classic Elegance
- Massive air intakes and an enlarged front grille echo the iconic horse‑shaped 3D mesh, now machined from a single block of aluminium for a razor‑sharp finish.
- The paintwork features a deep, vibrant red coat laid over a silver‑aluminium primer. Multiple advanced layers create a striking depth effect that shifts with the viewer’s angle.
- Exposed carbon‑fiber weave in matte black replaces traditional black paint, contrasted by a subtle 10% black pigment blended into the clear coat, delivering tactile and visual richness.
- Chrome‑plated 12‑spoke wheels, true to the original Veyron design, measure 20 inches up front and 21 inches at the rear, wrapped in bespoke Michelin tires.
- Updated front and rear light clusters retain the classic hypercar silhouette while adopting a cleaner, more contemporary aesthetic.
Interior: Bespoke Craftsmanship Meets Bauhaus Flair
The cabin is a departure from the Chiron and the W16 Mistral, offering a fresh design language centered around the original Veyron’s round steering wheel. Key interior highlights include:
- A round, Bauhaus‑inspired steering wheel that pays homage to the 2005 Veyron.
- Premium “Car Couture” woven fabric, developed in Paris, replaces traditional leather. The exclusive material debuted on the Bugatti Tourbillon concept.
- Door‑panel inserts borrowed from the Chiron, wrapped in the same Car Couture fabric combined with high‑grade brown leather.
- Centre console and transmission tunnel machined from solid aluminium, each piece handcrafted to bespoke specifications.
- An Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Tourbillon 41 mm watch mounted on the centre console, underscoring the car’s horological pedigree.
- Personal touches such as Pierre Veyron’s signature on the knee‑rest area, alongside Ferdinand Karl Piëch’s initials and birthdate, and the Programme Solitaire logo on the front apron.
Powertrain: Pure Bugatti Fury
At its heart lies the legendary 8.0‑liter W16 engine, the same power‑plant that fuels the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport. Delivering an astonishing 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 for uninterrupted traction.
While exact 0‑to‑100 km/h times and top‑speed figures remain under wraps, the performance envelope is expected to rival, if not surpass, that of the Chiron.
Exclusivity and Heritage
The F.K.P. Hommage is more than a limited‑run hypercar; it is a storytelling vehicle. Each unit is built from the ground up – chassis, bodywork, interior and personalization – to narrate Bugatti’s rich heritage. Ownership details are deliberately confidential, adding an aura of mystique to this collector’s masterpiece.
Conclusion
With the Bugatti F.K.P. Hommage, the French marque fuses historic reverence with cutting‑edge technology, delivering a singular masterpiece that honors both the Veyron’s legacy and the visionary Ferdinand Karl Piëch. For connoisseurs of automotive art, this hypercar represents the pinnacle of bespoke luxury.
