Bugatti has unveiled the second masterpiece of its exclusive Programme Solitaire – the Bugatti F.K.P. Hommage. This one‑off hypercar pays homage to Ferdinand Karl Piëch, the visionary who laid the groundwork for the legendary W16 engine, and to the very first Bugatti Veyron produced in 2005.
Design that echoes the original Veyron
The F.K.P. Hommage draws its silhouette from the inaugural Veyron, but every surface has been reimagined. A massive front air intake, a 3‑D horse‑shaped grille milled from a solid block of aluminium, and a sweeping bonnet accentuated by a deep‑red, multi‑layer paint finish give the car a striking presence. Beneath the translucent ruby coat lies a silver aluminium base that creates a vivid depth effect.
Exterior details and bespoke wheels
Carbon‑fiber trim exposed in black replaces the conventional matte finish, while a subtle 10 % black pigment within the clear coat adds a tactile richness. The car rides on custom 12‑spoke chrome‑plated wheels – 20 inches at the front and 21 inches at the rear – wrapped in dedicated Michelin tires. Updated head‑ and tail‑light clusters retain the classic hypercar lines but benefit from modern LED technology.
Interior – a blend of heritage and couture
Inside, the F.K.P. Hommage departs from the leather‑laden cabins of recent Bugatti models. The cockpit is wrapped in Car Couture, a proprietary woven fabric introduced on the Bugatti Tourbillon, offering a luxurious yet breathable feel. A round, Bauhaus‑inspired steering wheel reminiscent of the original Veyron completes the driver‑focused ambience.
The door panels feature the same Car Couture material, paired with premium brown leather inserts taken from the Chiron’s design language. The centre console and transmission tunnel are handcrafted from solid aluminium and host a bespoke 41 mm Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Tourbillon watch face, underscoring the car’s horological ties.
Personal touches include a knee‑high plaque signed by racing legend Pierre Veyron, alongside Piëch’s initials and birth date, and the “Solitaire” coach‑build logo on the front apron.
Powertrain – the heart of a legend
Under the hood lies the same 8.0‑litre W16 powerhouse that drives the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport: four turbochargers delivering a jaw‑dropping 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 that the F.K.P. Hommage matches its predecessor’s blistering performance, even if exact 0‑60 mph times and top speed have yet to be disclosed.
Exclusivity and legacy
Programme Solitaire limits production to a maximum of two cars per year, each built from a clean‑sheet exterior, interior, and a suite of personalized details. The F.K.P. Hommage therefore stands as a singular tribute to Bugatti’s heritage, celebrating the engineer who made the Veyron a reality.
The identity of the lucky owner remains under wraps, but the car’s sheer craftsmanship and historical significance speak for themselves.
Conclusion
With its handcrafted aluminium chassis, exclusive Car Couture upholstery, and a W16 engine that still roars at 1,600 hp, the Bugatti F.K.P. Hommage sets a new benchmark for bespoke hypercars. It is not just a vehicle; it is a rolling museum piece that honors the pioneers of automotive excellence.
