Bugatti has unveiled the second masterpiece of its exclusive Programme Solitaire – the Bugatti F.K.P. Hommage. Built as a heartfelt homage to Ferdinand Karl Piëch and the very first Bugatti Veyron, this hyper‑car blends historic reverence with cutting‑edge craftsmanship.
Design Inspiration
The Hommage draws directly from the original Veyron’s silhouette, celebrating the pioneering spirit of the W16 engine that Piëch helped bring to life. While the overall shape remains recognizably Bugatti, every surface has been re‑engineered for modern performance and visual impact.
Exterior Highlights
- Massive front air intakes: Enlarged to improve cooling and create a bold stance.
- 3‑D horse‑shoe grille: Expanded and machined from a solid block of aluminium for a striking, sculptural effect.
- Special red paintwork: Multi‑layer coating with a silver‑aluminium base beneath a transparent ruby‑red gloss, delivering deep‑color depth and a three‑dimensional shimmer.
- Exposed black carbon fibre accents: Replacing conventional black paint, these elements contrast with a 10% black pigment blend in the clear coat, adding tactile richness.
- Chrome‑plated 12‑spoke wheels: 20‑inch at the front and 21‑inch at the rear, paired with dedicated Michelin tires.
- Modernised lighting: Updated front and rear light clusters echo the Veyron’s heritage while employing the latest LED technology.
- Signature rear air ducts: Two large openings behind the cockpit preserve the classic hyper‑car cooling signature.
Interior Luxury
The cabin is a clean‑sheet design that departs from the Chiron and the upcoming W16 Mistral, yet it retains the iconic round steering wheel first seen on the Veyron.
Materials & Craftsmanship
- Seat and upholstery surfaces are wrapped in Car Couture fabric – a Paris‑created, exclusive textile introduced on the Bugatti Tourbillon concept.
- Door panels echo the Chiron’s styling but are covered in the same Car Couture material blended with premium brown leather.
- The central console and transmission tunnel are bespoke aluminium blocks, hand‑finished for flawless fit.
- A 41 mm Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Tourbillon watch module is integrated into the central console, underscoring the watch‑maker partnership.
- Knee‑side plaques display Pierre Veyron’s signature alongside Ferdinand Karl Piëch’s initials and birthdate; the front footwell bears the “Solitaire” coach‑build logo.
Powertrain
At its heart lies the 8.0‑litre W16 engine, directly derived from the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport. The power unit delivers the legendary 1,600 hp and 1,600 Nm of torque, mated to a 7‑speed dual‑clutch transmission and all‑wheel drive.
Performance figures such as 0‑100 km/h acceleration or top speed have not been disclosed, and the identity of the exclusive owner remains under wrap.
Limited Production & Legacy
The F.K.P. Hommage is the second creation under the Programme Solitaire, a highly exclusive series limited to a maximum of two units per year. Each vehicle is a completely bespoke reinterpretation of Bugatti’s chassis, interior, and personalisation options, crafted to tell a unique chapter of the brand’s storied heritage.
With only a handful ever to be built, the Hommage stands as a rolling tribute to the engineering vision of Ferdinand Karl Piëch and the timeless allure of the original Veyron.
