Bugatti has once again turned heads with the launch of the FKP Hommage, the second masterpiece from its exclusive Programme Solitaire series. Crafted as a single‑unit tribute to Ferdinand Karl Piëch – the visionary who laid the groundwork for the legendary W16 engine – the car also celebrates the very first Bugatti Veyron ever built.
Exterior: Timeless Aggression Reimagined
The FKP Hommage revives the iconic silhouette of the original Veyron while injecting fresh, avant‑garde details. Massive air intakes dominate the front, feeding a 3‑D horse‑shoe grille that has been enlarged and machined from a solid block of aluminum.
A striking, deep‑red paint finish sits atop a reflective silver‑aluminum base, creating a three‑dimensional visual depth that changes with the light. Exposed carbon‑fiber elements are finished in a sleek black, contrasting with a translucent clear coat that contains 10 % black pigment for a tactile, high‑gloss effect.
The wheel package pays homage to the Veyron’s heritage: a set of 12‑spoke chrome‑plated rims, 20 inches up front and 21 inches at the rear, wrapped in bespoke Michelin tires. Updated front and rear light clusters adopt a contemporary aesthetic while respecting the classic Veyron language.
Interior: Bespoke Luxury Meets Bauhaus Simplicity
Inside, the Hommage diverges from the Chiron and the newer W16 Mistral, embracing a wholly new cabin layout centered around a round, Bauhaus‑style steering wheel reminiscent of the original Veyron.
Instead of traditional leather, the seats and panels are upholstered in Car Couture – an exclusive woven fabric crafted in Paris and first showcased on the Bugatti Tourbillon. The door panels inherit the Car Couture treatment, accented with premium brown leather for a sophisticated contrast.
The centre console and transmission tunnel are hand‑crafted from solid aluminum blocks, each piece uniquely bespoke. Adding to the exclusivity, the console houses an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Tourbillon watch with a 41 mm dial.
Personal touches abound: the knee‑side garnish bears the signature of legendary driver Pierre Veyron alongside the initials and birthdate of Ferdinand Karl Piëch. The front apron is emblazoned with the “Solitaire” coach‑build logo, underscoring the project’s singular nature.
Powertrain: Pure, Unadulterated Performance
At its heart lies the 8.0‑liter W16 engine sourced from the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport, delivering a jaw‑dropping 1,600 hp and 1,600 Nm of torque. Power is routed through a seven‑speed dual‑clutch gearbox to an all‑wheel‑drive system, ensuring relentless acceleration and stability.
While the exact 0‑100 km/h (0‑62 mph) time and top‑speed figures remain under wraps, the engine’s output mirrors that of Bugatti’s most potent hypercars, promising an experience that is unmistakably Bugatti.
Production & Legacy
The FKP Hommage is the second creation under the Programme Solitaire umbrella, which limits production to a maximum of two units per year. Each vehicle is a wholly new reinterpretation of the chassis, interior, and bespoke details, purpose‑built to narrate a chapter of Bugatti’s rich heritage.
Ownership of this singular piece has not been disclosed, preserving the mystique that surrounds Bugatti’s most exclusive commissions.
