Bugatti has unveiled the F.K.P. Hommage, the second masterpiece of its ultra‑exclusive Programme Solitaire. Limited to a single unit each year, this hypercar is a heartfelt salute to Ferdinand Karl Piëch – the visionary who helped bring the original Bugatti Veyron to life – and to the very first Veyron model.
Design Inspiration and Heritage
Drawing directly from the 2005 Veyron prototype, the Hommage blends classic Bugatti cues with modern, handcrafted artistry. Every surface, from the massive front air intakes to the iconic horse‑shaped 3D grille, has been re‑imagined in a single block of machined aluminium, underscoring the brand’s commitment to precision engineering.
Exterior Highlights
- Signature Red Paintwork: A multilayer coating that sandwiches a silver‑aluminium base beneath a transparent, high‑gloss ruby finish, delivering striking depth and a three‑dimensional visual effect.
- Exposed Black Carbon Fibre: Replaces traditional black paint, creating a subtle contrast with a 10% black pigment blended into the clear coat for a rich tactile and visual feel.
- Chrome‑Plated 12‑Spoke Wheels: 20‑inch front and 21‑inch rear, echoing the original Veyron’s design and fitted with bespoke Michelin tires.
- Modernised Lighting: Updated front and rear light clusters retain the classic hypercar silhouette while incorporating contemporary LED technology.
- Large Rear Aero Air Ducts: Two prominent scoops behind the cabin preserve the Veyron’s aerodynamic heritage.
Interior Craftsmanship
The cabin marks a departure from the Chiron and W16 Mistral line‑ups. It features a round, Bauhaus‑styled steering wheel reminiscent of the early Veyron era. Instead of conventional leather, Bugatti employs an exclusive Paris‑produced fabric called Car Couture, first showcased on the Tourbillon concept. Door panels combine this fabric with premium brown leather, while the center console and transmission tunnel are hand‑crafted from solid aluminium blocks.
A unique touch includes an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Tourbillon 41 mm watch face integrated into the central console, and a bespoke plaque bearing the signature of racing legend Pierre Veyron alongside the initials and birthdate of Ferdinand Karl Piëch. The front apron is embellished with the “Solitaire” coach‑build logo.
Powertrain
Under the sleek bonnet lies an 8.0‑liter W16 engine, the same powerhouse that drives the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport. Twin‑turbocharged across four banks, it delivers a jaw‑dropping 1,600 hp and 1,600 Nm of torque, paired with a dual‑clutch 7‑speed gearbox and permanent all‑wheel drive. Performance figures such as 0‑100 km/h acceleration and top speed remain under wraps, as does the identity of the exclusive owner.
Programme Solitaire & Production Philosophy
The F.K.P. Hommage is the second commissioned vehicle from Bugatti’s Programme Solitaire, a bespoke coach‑building initiative that creates a maximum of two cars per year. Each project involves a complete redesign of the body, interior, and personalized details, aiming to tell a new chapter of Bugatti’s storied legacy.
With its singular blend of heritage, artisan craftsmanship, and blistering performance, the Bugatti F.K.P. Hommage stands as a moving tribute to the engineers and visionaries who shaped the modern supercar era.
