Bugatti has unveiled the second masterpiece of its exclusive Programme Solitaire – the Bugatti F.K.P. Hommage. This singular hypercar draws direct inspiration from the very first Bugatti Veyron, serving as a heartfelt tribute to Ferdinand Karl Piëch, the visionary who laid the foundation for the legendary W16 power‑unit.
Exterior: Sculpted for Speed and Elegance
The Hommage’s bodywork is reimagined with a massive front air intake, a widened 3D horse‑shaped grille milled from a solid block of aluminium, and aggressive aerodynamic vents that echo the original Veyron’s silhouette. A bespoke dual‑tone paint finish coats the car: a shimmering red coat sits atop a silver‑aluminium base, creating a striking depth effect that changes with the light.
Exposed carbon‑fiber panels in matte black replace conventional black paint, delivering a tactile contrast enhanced by a subtle 10% black pigment blended into the transparent clear coat. The result is a visual and tactile richness that feels both modern and timeless.
Wheels, Tires & Lighting
- Front wheels: 20‑inch chrome‑plated, 12‑spoke design faithful to the original Veyron.
- Rear wheels: 21‑inch, same iconic styling.
- Tyres: Dedicated Michelin blind‑side‑run compounds for optimal grip.
- Lighting: Updated front and rear clusters employ a contemporary aesthetic while preserving the classic Veyron silhouette, including the signature large rear air vents.
Interior: Bespoke Luxury Meets Bauhaus Heritage
The cabin is a complete departure from the Chiron and W16 Mistral line‑ups. A round, Bauhaus‑style steering wheel reminiscent of the Veyron anchors the driver’s position. Instead of traditional leather, Bugatti partnered with Paris‑based Car Couture to craft an exclusive woven‑fabric upholstery, first showcased on the Tourbillon concept.
Door panels borrow the Car Couture leather‑blend used on the Chiron, while the central console and transmission tunnel are handcrafted from solid aluminium blocks. A 41 mm Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Tourbillon watch face—custom‑made for this model—graces the central panel, underscoring the car’s watch‑maker level of precision.
Personal touches include a knee‑side plaque bearing the signature of racing legend Pierre Veyron, alongside Ferdinand Karl Piëch’s initials and birthdate. The front apron proudly displays the “Solitaire” coach‑build program logo.
Powertrain: The Same Heart, New Ambitions
Under the hood lies the 8.0‑litre W16 engine with four turbochargers, directly carried over from the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport. It continues to deliver a staggering 1,600 hp and 1,600 Nm of torque, paired with a seven‑speed dual‑clutch transmission and permanent four‑wheel drive.
While official acceleration and top‑speed figures remain under wraps, the technical specifications suggest performance on par with the world’s most extreme hypercars.
Production Philosophy & Legacy
The F.K.P. Hommage is the second exclusive model from Programme Solitaire, a bespoke coach‑building initiative that caps production at two units per year. Each car is a fully reimagined body, interior, and personalization package, designed to narrate a distinct chapter of Bugatti’s heritage.
Ownership details have not been disclosed, preserving the mystique that surrounds Bugatti’s most elusive creations.
Conclusion
With its handcrafted aluminium chassis, limited‑edition Car Couture materials, and a reverent nod to both Ferdinand Karl Piëch and the original Veyron, the Bugatti F.K.P. Hommage stands as a timeless celebration of automotive art. It reminds enthusiasts that true luxury is not just about speed, but about preserving and re‑interpreting a storied legacy for future generations.
