Discover the ultra‑limited Bugatti F.K.P. Hommage, a handcrafted Veyron tribute honoring Ferdinand Karl Piëch. Explore its specs now!
Bugatti has unveiled the F.K.P. Hommage, the second masterpiece of its exclusive Programme Solitaire series. Inspired by the very first Bugatti Veyron and dedicated to Ferdinand Karl Piëch, the visionary behind the W16 engine, this one‑off hypercar blends historic reverence with cutting‑edge craftsmanship.
Design philosophy and exterior styling
The Hommage reinterprets the iconic Veyron silhouette while adding modern, performance‑focused touches. A massive front air inlet and an expanded three‑dimensional horse‑cheek grille, milled from a solid block of aluminium, dominate the nose. A bespoke two‑tone paint scheme—deep metallic red over a silver‑aluminium base—creates a striking visual depth that changes with the light.
Exposed black carbon‑fiber elements replace conventional black paint, contrasting with a subtly infused 10% black pigment in the transparent red clear coat. The result is a tactile, high‑contrast finish that feels as much as it looks premium.
Wheels, brakes and aerodynamics
Wheel design stays true to the Veyron heritage: chrome‑plated 12‑spoke rims, 20‑inch at the front and 21‑inch at the rear, paired with dedicated Michelin tires. Updated front and rear light clusters adopt a sleeker language while preserving the classic hypercar’s signature large air scoops behind the cockpit.
Interior – bespoke luxury reimagined
Inside, the Hommage departs from the carbon‑fiber‑rich cabins of the Chiron and Mistral. It adopts the round, Bauhaus‑style steering wheel of the original Veyron and swaps traditional leather for an exclusive Paris‑crafted fabric called Car Couture, first showcased on the Bugatti Tourbillon concept.
Door panels echo the Chiron’s design but are wrapped in Car Couture blended with premium brown leather. The central console and transmission tunnel are hand‑crafted from solid aluminium, housing a 41 mm Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Tourbillon watch face. Personal touches include Pierre Veyron’s signature on the knee‑rest area, alongside a Piëch monogram and birth date, while the front “Solitaire” coach‑building badge adds a subtle brand statement.
Powertrain – pure W16 performance
At its heart lies the legendary 8.0‑litre W16 engine, the same powerplant that fuels the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport. Delivering 1,600 hp and 1,600 Nm of torque, it is mated to a seven‑speed dual‑clutch transmission and permanent four‑wheel drive, promising the unmistakable acceleration and top‑speed pedigree expected of a Bugatti.
Production, exclusivity and legacy
F.K.P. Hommage is a master‑built, single‑unit creation—one of only two cars Programme Solitaire will produce each year. Every element, from chassis to upholstery, is re‑engineered to tell a new chapter of Bugatti’s heritage. The identity of the purchaser remains undisclosed, adding an air of mystery to this collector’s dream.
Conclusion
The Bugatti F.K.P. Hommage is more than a tribute; it is a living museum piece that celebrates the engineering marvel of the original Veyron and the legacy of Ferdinand Karl Piëch. For connoisseurs of ultra‑luxury hypercars, it stands as a benchmark of bespoke artistry and unrivaled performance.
