Introducing the F.K.P. Hommage
Bugatti has unveiled the F.K.P. Hommage, the second ultra‑exclusive project from its Programme Solitaire umbrella. Drawing direct inspiration from the very first Bugatti Veyron, the car serves as a personal salute to Ferdinand Karl Piëch – the visionary behind the W‑16 engine architecture that powered the Veyron into legend.
Design that Turns Heads
The Hommage’s exterior is a study in bold contrasts. A massive front air‑intake cavity dominates the nose, while a 3‑D horse‑shoe grille, machined from a single aluminium billet, is enlarged and re‑styled for maximum visual impact. The body is finished in a unique two‑tone paint scheme: a silver aluminium primer is sealed beneath a clear, high‑gloss red coat, delivering a three‑dimensional depth that shimmers from every angle.
Carbon‑Fiber Accents & Fabric Details
Exposed carbon‑fiber elements are left in their natural black finish, replacing conventional black paint and creating a subtle yet striking visual tension. Ten percent of black pigment is blended into the transparent red layer, adding a tactile richness both to the eye and the hand.
Wheels, Tires & Lighting
Each Hommage rides on bespoke 12‑spoke chrome‑plated wheels that echo the original Veyron design – 20‑inch up front and 21‑inch at the rear – fitted with dedicated Michelin tires. The front and rear light clusters have been modernised, respecting the classic Veyron silhouette while incorporating contemporary LED technology. The signature large rear air‑exhaust ducts remain, preserving the hypercar’s iconic silhouette.
Interior – A New Take on a Classic Layout
The cabin abandons traditional leather in favour of a Paris‑crafted Car Couture fabric, a material first showcased on the Bugatti Tourbillon concept. The steering wheel returns to the round Bauhaus style first seen on the Veyron, while the door panels combine Car Couture upholstery with premium brown leather inserts, echoing the sumptuous feel of the Chiron.
Bespoke Details & Horology
At the centre of the dashboard sits an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Tourbillon 41 mm timepiece, hand‑installed for the sole owner. The knee‑side panel bears the signature of racing legend Pierre Veyron alongside the initials and birthdate of Ferdinand Karl Piëch. The front bumper is adorned with the “Solitaire” coach‑building badge, reinforcing the car’s artisanal pedigree.
Heart of the Beast – The W‑16 Engine
Under the bonnet, the Hommage houses an 8.0 L W‑16 powerplant – the same architecture that powers the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport. Tuned to deliver a staggering 1,600 hp and 1,600 Nm of torque, the engine is paired with a 7‑speed dual‑clutch gearbox and an all‑wheel‑drive system, ensuring instantaneous power delivery.
Performance & Production
While acceleration figures and top‑speed numbers remain under wraps, the powertrain specifications suggest performance on par with Bugatti’s most extreme offerings. The F.K.P. Hommage is part of Programme Solitaire’s limited‑run philosophy – only two units are produced per year, each entirely re‑designed from the chassis up, with bespoke interior and personalization options.
Legacy and Exclusivity
Beyond its technical prowess, the Hommage tells a story – a narrative of Bugatti’s heritage, of the engineers and visionaries who shaped its destiny. The car’s very existence is a tribute to Ferdinand Karl Piëch’s foundational work and to the original Veyron that redefined what a road‑legal hypercar could be.
Conclusion
For collectors seeking the ultimate in automotive artistry and historical significance, the Bugatti F.K.P. Hommage represents a singular opportunity: a hand‑crafted masterpiece that bridges past and future, performance and poetry.
