Bugatti has unveiled the second masterpiece from its exclusive Programme Solitaire – the Bugatti F.K.P. Hommage. Limited to a single unit per year, this hyper‑car pays homage to Ferdinand Karl Piëch and the very first Bugatti Veyron, blending historic reverence with cutting‑edge craftsmanship.
Design Inspiration
The F.K.P. Hommage draws directly from the original 2005 Veyron, the model that first proved the feasibility of Bugatti’s 8.0‑litre W16 powerhouse. It serves as a visual and engineering salute to the visionary who championed the W16 architecture.
Exterior Craftsmanship
Key visual updates include a dramatically enlarged front air intake and an expanded 3‑D horse‑shoe grille milled from a solid block of aluminum. The vehicle’s paint is a layered masterpiece: a base of silver‑toned aluminum lies beneath a translucent ruby‑red coat, creating depth and a striking three‑dimensional shimmer.
Exposed carbon‑fiber elements are finished in matte black rather than traditional gloss, offering a subtle contrast enhanced by a 10 % black pigment blended into the clear coat for tactile and visual richness.
- 20‑inch chrome‑plated 12‑spoke front wheels, 21‑inch at the rear, fitted with bespoke Michelin tires.
- Modernised head‑ and tail‑light clusters that echo the Veyron’s classic silhouette while adding contemporary LED technology.
- Two large rear air vents retained for the signature hyper‑car cooling performance.
Unique Interior
The cabin is a departure from the Chiron and the W16 Mistral, featuring a round, Bauhaus‑inspired steering wheel reminiscent of the original Veyron. Instead of conventional leather, Bugatti uses an exclusive Paris‑crafted fabric called Car Couture, first seen on the Tourbillon concept. Door panels combine this textile with premium brown leather for a luxurious yet distinctive feel.
Hand‑crafted aluminum inserts dominate the center console and transmission tunnel, each machined from solid billets. A 41 mm Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Tourbillon watch face is embedded within the console, underscoring the vehicle’s bespoke character.
Personal touches include Pierre Veyron’s signature on the knee‑area trim, alongside Ferdinand Karl Piëch’s initials and birth date. The front apron bears the “Solitaire” coach‑build badge.
Powertrain
At its heart lies the same 8.0 L W16 engine with four turbochargers that powers the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport. The output remains an astonishing 1,600 hp and 1,600 Nm of torque, channeled through a seven‑speed dual‑clutch gearbox and permanent all‑wheel drive.
Performance figures such as 0‑60 mph time and top speed have not been disclosed, and the identity of the exclusive owner remains under wraps.
Legacy and Production
The F.K.P. Hommage is the second creation under Programme Solitaire, which aims to produce no more than two vehicles per year. Each project is a fully re‑imagined chassis, interior, and suite of personalized details, designed to tell a new chapter of Bugatti’s storied heritage.
With its limited production run, tailored craftsmanship, and reverent nod to Bugatti’s past, the F.K.P. Hommage stands as a collector’s dream and a living tribute to automotive legend Ferdinand Karl Piëch.
