Bugatti has unveiled the second masterpiece from its ultra‑exclusive Programme Solitaire – the Bugatti F.K.P. Hommage. Inspired by the very first Bugatti Veyron and dedicated to Ferdinand Karl Piëch, the visionary who laid the groundwork for the legendary W16 power unit, this hypercar is a celebration of engineering heritage and artistic craftsmanship.
Design Inspiration and Exterior Evolution
The Hommage draws directly from the original Veyron’s silhouette while introducing bold new elements. A massive front air intake, widened to improve airflow, sits behind an expanded 3‑D horse‑shoe grille machined from a solid block of aluminium. The result is a striking, aggressive face that remains unmistakably Bugatti.
Specialty red paint is applied using a multi‑layer technique: a silver‑aluminium base under a transparent ruby‑red coat creates depth and a three‑dimensional visual effect that changes with the light. Exposed black carbon fibre replaces traditional black paint, offering subtle contrast and a tactile surface that feels as premium as it looks.
Wheels, Tires, and Lighting
Chrome‑plated 12‑spoke wheels echo the original Veyron design – 20‑inch at the front and 21‑inch at the rear – and are paired with bespoke Michelin tires. Updated front and rear light clusters adopt a modern aesthetic while staying true to the classic Veyron language, and the signature large rear air inlets are retained for that hypercar heritage feel.
Bespoke Interior Craftsmanship
Inside, the Hommage diverges from the Chiron and the W16 Mistral with a completely new cabin. The steering wheel returns to the round Bauhaus‑style knob made famous by the Veyron. Instead of conventional leather, the seats and panels are upholstered in Car Couture – an exclusive Paris‑crafted woven fabric first seen on the Bugatti Tourbillon.
The door trim borrows from the Chiron, featuring Car Couture‑wrapped surfaces accented with premium brown leather. The central console and transmission tunnel are hand‑crafted from solid aluminium blocks, and a 41 mm Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Tourbillon watch graces the centre, underscoring the car’s haute‑horology pedigree.
Personal touches include Pierre Veyron’s signature on the knee‑rest, alongside Ferdinand Karl Piëch’s initials and birthdate. The front apron proudly displays the “Solitaire” coach‑build logo.
Heart of the Beast – The W16 Powertrain
At its core, the F.K.P. Hommage houses the 8.0‑litre W16 engine ripped from the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport, delivering a staggering 1,600 hp and 1,600 Nm of torque. Power is sent through a seven‑speed dual‑clutch gearbox to an all‑wheel‑drive system, ensuring seamless acceleration and grip.
While official top‑speed and 0‑to‑100 km/h figures remain under wraps, the provenance of the engine guarantees performance on par with the world’s fastest production cars.
Exclusivity and Legacy
The F.K.P. Hommage is the second vehicle in the Programme Solitaire, a coach‑build initiative that caps production at just two units per year. Each car is a fully bespoke project, with unique bodywork, interior and personalized details that tell a new chapter of Bugatti’s storied legacy.
Ownership details have not been disclosed, adding an air of mystery to this already elusive masterpiece.
For enthusiasts and collectors, the Bugatti F.K.P. Hommage represents not only a triumph of engineering but also a heartfelt homage to the pioneers who made the Veyron legend possible.
