Discover the ultra‑rare Bugatti F.K.P. Hommage, a handcrafted tribute to Ferdinand Karl Piëch and the original Veyron. Explore its bespoke design now!
Bugatti has unveiled the Bugatti F.K.P. Hommage, the second masterpiece from its ultra‑exclusive Programme Solitaire. Limited to just two examples per year, this 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 ever built.
Design Inspiration and Exterior Highlights
Taking cues from the original Veyron, the F.K.P. Hommage blends classic Bugatti DNA with contemporary craftsmanship:
- A massive front air intake and an expanded 3D horse‑shoe grille milled from a single block of aluminium.
- A proprietary two‑tone red finish: a glossy transparent red coat over a silver‑aluminium base that creates a striking depth and three‑dimensional visual effect.
- Exposed black carbon‑fiber accents replace traditional black paint, adding tactile contrast while a subtle 10% black pigment is blended into the clear coat.
- Custom 12‑spoke chrome wheels – 20 inches at the front, 21 inches at the rear – fitted with bespoke Michelin tires.
- Modernised headlights and taillights that echo the Veyron’s silhouette while offering a fresher, sharper look.
- Retained large rear air intakes behind the cockpit, a signature element of classic Bugatti hypercars.
Bespoke Interior Experience
The cabin is a departure from the Chiron and the upcoming W16 Mistral, featuring:
- A round, Bauhaus‑style steering wheel reminiscent of the original Veyron.
- Exclusive Car Couture woven fabric sourced from Paris, first introduced on the Bugatti Tourbillon, used for the seats and door panels.
- Premium brown leather accents paired with Car Couture‑treated surfaces on the door trims.
- A fully bespoke centre console and transmission tunnel, machined from solid aluminium blocks.
- An integrated Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Tourbillon 41 mm watch‑face, adding haute‑horlogerie flair to the driver’s area.
- Personalised touches: Pierre Veyron’s signature on the knee‑rest, Ferdinand Karl Piëch’s initials and birth‑date, and the “Solitaire” coach‑build logo on the front apron.
Powertrain – The Heart of the Hommage
Under the sculpted bonnet lies the same 8.0 L W16 power unit with four turbochargers that fuels the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport. Delivering a staggering 1,600 hp and 1,600 Nm of torque, it is paired with a 7‑speed dual‑clutch gearbox and an all‑wheel‑drive system that operates full‑time.
Performance metrics such as 0‑100 km/h (0‑62 mph) times and top‑speed have not been disclosed, preserving the mystique around this singular creation.
Exclusivity and Legacy
As the second vehicle in the Programme Solitaire lineup, the F.K.P. Hommage continues Bugatti’s tradition of crafting one‑off masterpieces that tell a story of heritage and innovation. Only two units will be produced each year, each meticulously re‑engineered from the ground up – body, interior, and even the most minute personalised details.
The identity of the first owner remains confidential, adding another layer of intrigue to this automotive work of art.
Why It Matters
For collectors and enthusiasts, the Bugatti F.K.P. Hommage represents more than raw performance; it is a rolling tribute to the engineers and visionaries who shaped Bugatti’s legend. By marrying historic reverence with cutting‑edge materials and bespoke craftsmanship, Bugatti reaffirms its place at the pinnacle of hypercar artistry.
Stay tuned for updates on the limited‑run production schedule and the unveiling of the next Programme Solitaire masterpiece.
