Discover the Bugatti F.K.P. Hommage, an exclusive Veyron tribute honoring Ferdinand Karl Piëch with a handcrafted W16 engine and bespoke luxury. Explore now!
Bugatti has unveiled its newest ultra‑exclusive hypercar, the Bugatti F.K.P. Hommage. This unique project, the second creation under the Programme Solitaire coach‑building initiative, celebrates the iconic Bugatti Veyron and the visionary Ferdinand Karl Piëch, the engineer who pioneered the W16 power‑unit.
Design & Exterior
The Hommage draws direct inspiration from the original 2005 Veyron while adding modern, bespoke touches. Front and rear air intakes are dramatically enlarged, and the signature 3D horse‑shoe grille is sculpted from a solid aluminum block, giving the car an aggressive breathing face.
Its paintwork is a layered masterpiece: a vivid, custom‑mixed red coat sits atop a reflective silver‑aluminum primer. This dual‑layer finish creates a striking depth effect that shifts with the light, while exposed carbon‑fiber elements in matte black provide a subtle, high‑tech contrast.
Rolling on bespoke 12‑spoke chrome wheels—20‑inch at the front and 21‑inch at the rear—paired with single‑make Michelin tyres, the Hommage blends classic Bugatti cues with contemporary craftsmanship. Updated LED clusters at both ends of the car echo the Veyron’s style but with a sharper, modern aesthetic.
Interior & Luxury Details
The cabin is a departure from the Chiron and W16 Mistral, featuring a round, Bauhaus‑style steering wheel reminiscent of the original Veyron. Instead of traditional leather, Bugatti opted for an exclusive Paris‑crafted “Car Couture” fabric, first introduced on the Tourbillon concept. Door panels combine this fabric with premium brown leather for a rich tactile experience.
Every surface is bespoke: the central console and transmission tunnel are machined from solid aluminum, housing a limited‑edition Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Tourbillon watch with a 41 mm dial. The knee‑rest bears the signature of racing legend Pierre Veyron alongside the initials and birthdate of Ferdinand Karl Piëch. The front apron displays the “Solitaire” coach‑build logo, underscoring the car’s singular heritage.
Powertrain
At its heart lies the 8.0‑litre W16 engine with four turbochargers, carried over from the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport. The powertrain delivers an astonishing 1,600 hp and 1,600 Nm of torque, mated to a seven‑speed dual‑clutch gearbox and permanent all‑wheel drive. While official acceleration and top‑speed figures remain under wraps, performance expectations are in line with Bugatti’s most extreme models.
Exclusivity & Programme Solitaire
The F.K.P. Hommage is part of the highly selective Programme Solitaire, which limits production to a maximum of two units per year. Each vehicle is a one‑off work of art, redesigned from the ground up—including bodywork, interior, and personalized details—to tell a new chapter in Bugatti’s storied legacy. The identity of the inaugural owner has not been disclosed.
Conclusion
With its reverent design language, hand‑crafted materials, and the raw power of an 8.0‑litre W16, the Bugatti F.K.P. Hommage stands as a dazzling tribute to automotive history and the man who helped shape it. For collectors seeking the ultimate blend of heritage and hypercar performance, this masterpiece offers an unmatched opportunity.
