Discover the Bugatti F.K.P. Hommage, a one‑off tribute to Ferdinand Karl Piëch and the iconic Veyron. Explore its exclusive design and power today.
Bugatti has officially unveiled the Bugatti F.K.P. Hommage, the second masterpiece of its exclusive Programme Solitaire. This unique hypercar pays homage to Ferdinand Karl Piëch – the visionary behind the W16 engine – and celebrates the very first Bugatti Veyron ever built.
Design Philosophy: A Modern Take on a Classic
While the original Veyron set the benchmark for ultra‑high performance, the Hommage reinterprets its legendary silhouette with contemporary flair. A massive front air‑intake, a 3‑D horse‑shaped grille milled from a solid block of aluminium, and a strikingly deep red paint finish give the car an unmistakable presence.
Exterior Highlights
- Large, aerodynamic vent openings that echo the Veyron’s heritage.
- Three‑dimensional grille with extended horse‑head motif, machined from a single aluminium billet.
- Special “Red‑on‑Silver” multilayer coating: a reflective aluminium base beneath a transparent ruby‑red lacquer creates a vivid, three‑dimensional visual depth.
- Exposed carbon‑fiber accents in matte black, contrasted with a subtle 10% black pigment blended into the clear coat for a tactile, premium feel.
- Chrome‑plated 12‑spoke wheels – 20″ up front, 21″ rear – paired with bespoke Michelin tires.
- Modernised front and rear light clusters that retain the classic hypercar’s signature silhouette.
Interior Craftsmanship
The cabin is a departure from the Chiron and W16 Mistral, featuring a round, Bauhaus‑inspired steering wheel reminiscent of the original Veyron. Instead of traditional leather, Bugatti opted for a proprietary Paris‑made fabric called Car Couture, first introduced on the Tourbillon concept.
Door panels borrow the luxurious Car Couture material from the Chiron, combined with premium brown leather inserts. The centre console and transmission tunnel are handcrafted from solid aluminium blocks, each piece bespoke to the client’s wishes.
A highlight is the integration of a 41 mm Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Tourbillon watch, further underscoring the car’s horological pedigree.
Personal touches include Pierre Veyron’s signature on the knee‑rest, alongside Ferdinand Karl Piëch’s initials and birth date, and the Programme Solitaire “coach‑build” logo on the front apron.
Powertrain: Pure W16 Might
At its heart lies the 8.0‑litre W16 engine, the same powerhouse found in the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport. With four turbochargers delivering a staggering 1,600 hp and 1,600 Nm of torque, the Hommage is paired with a 7‑speed dual‑clutch transmission and permanent all‑wheel drive.
Performance figures such as 0‑100 km/h acceleration and top speed have not been disclosed, preserving the mystique of this one‑off creation.
Exclusivity & Legacy
The F.K.P. Hommage is the second limited‑run vehicle under Programme Solitaire, a bespoke coach‑building initiative that produces no more than two cars per year. Each model receives a completely re‑imagined body, interior, and personalised details, all designed to narrate a unique chapter of Bugatti’s storied heritage.
The identity of the private owner remains confidential, adding another layer of intrigue to this already legendary automobile.
Why It Matters
Beyond its breathtaking aesthetics and raw performance, the Bugatti F.K.P. Hommage stands as a rolling tribute to the engineering genius of Ferdinand Karl Piëch and the historic Veyron that redefined supercar limits. For collectors and enthusiasts alike, it embodies the pinnacle of automotive artistry and exclusivity.
