Discover the Bugatti F.K.P. Hommage, a one‑off hypercar honoring Ferdinand Karl Piëch and the original Veyron, with a W16 engine and bespoke luxury. Explore
Bugatti has unveiled the second masterpiece of its exclusive Programme Solitaire – the Bugatti F.K.P. Hommage. This ultra‑rare hypercar, limited to just one unit per year, is a heartfelt 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
The F.K.P. Hommage draws its DNA directly from the original 2005 Veyron. While the silhouette remains recognisably Bugatti, every line has been re‑imagined to celebrate the model’s heritage. Large aerodynamic vents dominate the front, and the classic horse‑shaped 3D grille has been expanded and machined from a single aluminium block, giving the car a sculptural presence that feels both historic and futuristic.
Exterior Craftsmanship
Finish is where the Hommage truly shines. A special metallic red paint is applied over a silver‑aluminium primer, creating a depth that changes with the light. Exposed carbon‑fibre weave is left in jet‑black rather than being painted, delivering a subtle contrast enhanced by a 10% black pigment mixed into the transparent topcoat.
- Chrome‑plated 12‑spoke wheels – 20″ front, 21″ rear – paired with bespoke Michelin tires.
- Modernised front and rear light clusters echo the Veyron’s signature look while adding contemporary LED touches.
- Two large dorsal air intakes behind the cockpit maintain the classic hypercar silhouette.
Interior Luxury
Inside, the F.K.P. Hommage departs from the leather‑laden cabins of the Chiron and the W16 Mistral. Instead, Bugatti has partnered with Paris‑based Car Couture to hand‑weave an exclusive fabric that first appeared on the Tourbillon concept. The door panels echo the Chiron’s design but are wrapped in the same Car Couture material, complemented by premium brown leather accents.
Key bespoke touches include:
- A round Bauhaus‑style steering wheel, a direct nod to the original Veyron.
- A centre console and transmission tunnel machined from solid aluminium, housing a 41 mm Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Tourbillon watch.
- Knee‑side plaques bearing Pierre Veyron’s signature alongside Ferdinand Karl Piëch’s initials and birth date.
- The front apron emblazoned with the “Solitaire” coach‑build logo.
Powertrain
At the heart of the Hommage lies the 8.0‑litre W16 engine, the same powerhouse that drives the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport. It delivers a staggering 1,600 hp and 1,600 Nm of torque through a 7‑speed dual‑clutch gearbox and permanent all‑wheel drive. While official acceleration and top‑speed figures are still under wraps, the performance is expected to match the legendary capabilities of its Chiron sibling.
Limited Production & Legacy
F.K.P. Hommage is the second bespoke creation from Programme Solitaire, a secretive initiative that produces no more than two cars per year. Each project re‑imagines the entire vehicle – from chassis to interior – to tell a new chapter of Bugatti’s storied legacy. The identity of the fortunate buyer remains undisclosed, adding an extra layer of mystique to this collector’s dream.
With its blend of historic reverence, cutting‑edge engineering, and unrivalled craftsmanship, the Bugatti F.K.P. Hommage stands as a timeless tribute to both a pioneering engineer and an automotive icon.
