Discover the exclusive Bugatti F.K.P. Hommage, a one‑off hypercar honoring Ferdinand Karl Piëch and the original Veyron. Explore its design, specs, and heritage now.
Bugatti has unveiled the second masterpiece from its ultra‑exclusive Programme Solitaire: the Bugatti F.K.P. Hommage. Inspired by the very first Veyron and conceived as a heartfelt salute to Ferdinand Karl Piëch – the engineering visionary behind the 8.0‑litre W16 powerplant – this hypercar is a showcase of craftsmanship, heritage, and sheer excess.
Exterior: A New Take on a Classic Silhouette
The Hommage’s body is a rebirth of the original Veyron lines, amplified with a massive front air inlet and a sculpted, three‑dimensional horse‑shoe grille milled from a solid block of aluminium. A special dual‑layer paint finish cloaks the car in a deep, glossy red. Underneath, a silver‑metallic aluminium primer creates a visual depth that shifts as the light moves across the surface.
Exposed carbon‑fiber elements are finished in a sleek black, contrasting with a subtle 10% black pigment blended into the clear coat for a tactile, multi‑dimensional effect. The wheel set mirrors the Veyron’s iconic 12‑spoke design, fitted with chrome‑plated rims – 20 inches up front, 21 inches at the rear – wrapped in Michelin tires crafted exclusively for this model.
Lighting and Aerodynamics
Both front and rear light clusters have been modernised while staying true to the Veyron’s heritage. The vehicle retains the signature large rear air vents that define the classic hypercar’s aerodynamic character.
Interior: Bespoke Luxury Meets Bauhaus Simplicity
The cabin is a departure from the usual Bugatti leather opulence. Instead, Bugatti partnered with Paris‑based Car Couture to introduce an exclusive woven fabric that debuted on the Tourbillon concept. This material wraps the seats, doors, and surrounding trims, delivering a sumptuous yet novel texture.
Door panels borrow from the Chiron’s design language but are upholstered in Car Couture combined with premium brown leather for a refined contrast. The central console and transmission tunnel are handcrafted from solid aluminium blocks, each piece bespoke to the vehicle.
Adding to the exclusivity, the dashboard hosts an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Tourbillon watch with a 41 mm dial – a true collector’s item integrated into the driving experience.
Personal touches continue with a knee‑support badge signed by racing legend Pierre Veyron, alongside the initials and birthdate of Ferdinand Karl Piëch. The front apron bears the Solitaire coach‑build logo, underscoring the car’s handcrafted lineage.
Powertrain: Pure Bugatti Muscle
Under the bonnet sits the heart of the Hommage – an 8.0 L W16 engine equipped with four turbochargers, directly derived from the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport. The power output mirrors its predecessor: 1,600 horsepower and 1,600 Nm of torque. This powerhouse is mated to a seven‑speed dual‑clutch transmission and Bugatti’s permanent all‑wheel‑drive system.
Performance figures such as 0‑100 km/h acceleration and top speed remain under wraps, preserving the mystique of this one‑off creation.
Exclusivity and Production Philosophy
The F.K.P. Hommage is the second unique vehicle in the Programme Solitaire, a venture that limits production to a maximum of two cars per year. Each project undergoes a complete redesign of bodywork, interior, and bespoke details, aiming to narrate a distinct chapter of Bugatti’s storied legacy.
Ownership of the Hommage is undisclosed, adding another layer of intrigue to an already legendary automobile.
