Discover the exclusive Bugatti F.K.P. Hommage, a handcrafted tribute to Ferdinand Karl Piëch and the original Veyron. Explore its bespoke design now!
Bugatti has unveiled its second masterpiece under the Programme Solitaire umbrella – the Bugatti F.K.P. Hommage. Built as a one‑off homage to Ferdinand Karl Piëch, the visionary behind the original W‑16 engine, this hypercar reimagines the very first Bugatti Veyron while pushing the brand’s craftsmanship to new heights.
Design Inspiration and Exterior Details
The Hommage draws its DNA from the inaugural Veyron, yet its silhouette is boldly modernised. Massive air intakes dominate the front fascia, feeding a signature 3D horse‑shoe grille that has been enlarged and machined from a solid block of aluminium. The body is cloaked in a special two‑tone red finish: a transparent, high‑gloss coat sits atop a silver‑aluminium primer, creating a striking depth and three‑dimensional visual effect.
Carbon‑fiber trim is left exposed in a deep black, contrasting with a subtle 10 % black pigment blended into the clear lacquer for a tactile, rich appearance. The wheels echo the original Veyron’s design – 12‑spoke chrome‑plated rims, 20‑inch up front and 21‑inch at the rear, mated to bespoke Michelin tires.
Modern Lighting and Aerodynamics
Both the front and rear light clusters have been refreshed with contemporary LED technology while retaining the classic Veyron aesthetic. The rear retains the iconic large dorsal air scoops that have become a hallmark of Bugatti’s hypercars.
Interior Craftsmanship
Inside, the Hommage departs from the Chiron and W16 Mistral playbook. The steering wheel returns to the round, Bauhaus‑styled wheel first seen on the Veyron, offering a nostalgic feel. Instead of traditional leather, the cabin is upholstered with Car Couture – an exclusive woven fabric produced in Paris and originally showcased on the Bugatti Tourbillon concept.
Door panels inherit the Car Couture treatment, accented with premium brown leather inserts. The centre console and transmission tunnel are handcrafted from solid aluminium billets, each piece bespoke‑machined to exacting tolerances. Adding an extra layer of luxury, the console houses an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Tourbillon 41 mm timepiece.
Personal touches include a knee‑rest engraved with the signature of racing legend Pierre Veyron, alongside the initials and birthdate of Ferdinand Karl Piëch. The front sub‑frame proudly displays the “Solitaire” coach‑build logo.
Powertrain – The Heart of the Hommage
At its core lies the 8.0‑liter W16 engine – a direct descendant of the unit that powered the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport. The powerplant delivers a staggering 1,600 hp and 1,600 Nm of torque, coupled to a seven‑speed dual‑clutch transmission and permanent all‑wheel drive.
While official acceleration figures and top‑speed numbers remain under wraps, the engine’s raw output promises performance on par with the most extreme hypercars on the planet.
Exclusivity and Programme Solitaire
The F.K.P. Hommage is the second creation from Programme Solitaire, a bespoke coach‑building initiative that produces a maximum of two cars per year. Each vehicle is a total redesign – from chassis to interior – intended to tell a new chapter of Bugatti’s storied heritage. The identity of the exclusive owner has not been disclosed.
For collectors who cherish automotive art as much as speed, the Bugatti F.K.P. Hommage represents a once‑in‑a‑lifetime fusion of history, craftsmanship, and uncompromising performance.
