Bugatti has unveiled the ultra‑exclusive Bugatti F.K.P. Hommage, the second masterpiece from its highly secretive Programme Solitaire. Limited to just one unit per year, this one‑off hypercar celebrates both the legendary engineer Ferdinand Karl Piëch and the very first Bugatti Veyron.
Heritage and Inspiration
The F.K.P. Hommage draws its DNA from the original 2005 Veyron, the model that first proved the viability of Bugatti’s 8.0‑litre W16 power‑train. By honoring Piëch, who championed the W16 architecture, Bugatti aims to showcase the brand’s historic craftsmanship while pushing its design language forward.
Exterior – A Modern Take on a Classic
- Enlarged front air intakes and a 3‑D “horse‑bit” grille milled from a solid block of aluminium.
- Special‑edition deep‑red paint applied over a silver‑aluminium primer, creating a vivid three‑dimensional visual depth.
- Exposed black carbon‑fiber accents replace traditional black paint, complemented by a 10 % black pigment mixed into the clear coat for a tactile contrast.
- Chrome‑plated 12‑spoke wheels – 20‑inch at the front, 21‑inch at the rear – shod with bespoke Michelin tyres.
- Updated LED head‑ and tail‑light clusters that echo the Veyron’s signature style, while retaining the iconic rear air‑ducts.
Interior – Bespoke Luxury Redefined
The cabin is a fresh reinterpretation, distinct from the Chiron and the forthcoming W16 Mistral. Highlights include:
- A round, Bauhaus‑inspired steering wheel reminiscent of the original Veyron.
- Exclusive Car Couture fabric, woven in Paris, replaces the traditional leather upholstery throughout the interior.
- Door panels wrapped in the same Car Couture material, accented with premium brown leather inserts.
- A fully bespoke centre console machined from solid aluminium, featuring a 41 mm Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Tourbillon watch as the instrument cluster.
- Personal‑touch elements such as Pierre Veyron’s signature beside Ferdinand Piëch’s initials and birthdate, and the “Solitaire” coach‑build logo on the front apron.
Powertrain – The Heart of a Legend
Under the sleek bonnet lies the same 8.0‑litre W16 engine with four turbochargers that powers the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport. Delivering an astonishing 1,600 hp and 1,600 Nm of torque, it is paired with a seven‑speed dual‑clutch transmission and permanent all‑wheel drive. Acceleration figures and top‑speed figures remain unrevealed.
Production and Legacy
The F.K.P. Hommage is the second vehicle in Programme Solitaire, a project that creates no more than two cars annually, each fully re‑engineered inside and out to tell a new chapter of Bugatti’s heritage. The identity of the current owner has not been disclosed.
With its blend of historic reverence and cutting‑edge craftsmanship, the Bugatti F.K.P. Hommage stands as a living tribute to the visionary spirit that birthed the Veyron.
