Bugatti has unveiled the second masterpiece of its ultra‑exclusive Programme Solitaire: the Bugatti F.K.P. Hommage. Conceived as a reverent salute to the first Bugatti Veyron and to Ferdinand Karl Piëch – the visionary who championed the W16 power‑unit – this one‑off hypercar pushes the brand’s craftsmanship to new heights.
Heritage and Inspiration
The F.K.P. Hommage draws its DNA from the iconic 2005 Veyron, the first production car to break the 1 000 km/h barrier. While the original set a benchmark for speed, the Hommage celebrates the engineering legacy that made it possible. Every line, curve, and material choice is a nod to the pioneering spirit of Piëch, who laid the groundwork for the W16 engine that still powers Bugatti’s top models.
Exterior – Sculpted for Presence
Visually, the Hommage is a modern reinterpretation of the Veyron’s silhouette. Key highlights include:
- A massive front air‑intake beneath a widened 3‑D horse‑head grille, CNC‑machined from a solid block of aluminum.
- Special‑edition red paint applied in multiple layers: a silver‑metallic base, over‑coated with a translucent ruby finish that creates a striking depth effect.
- Exposed black carbon‑fiber accents replace traditional black paint, contrasted with a subtle 10% black pigment infused in the clear coat for a tactile visual play.
- Chrome‑plated 12‑spoke wheels – 20 in front, 21 in rear – paired with bespoke Michelin tires, mirroring the original Veyron’s wheel design.
- Updated front and rear light clusters that retain the classic hypercar silhouette while employing modern LED technology.
Interior – Bespoke Luxury Redefined
The cabin is a departure from the Chiron and W16 Mistral, featuring the iconic round Bauhaus‑style steering wheel once seen on the Veyron.
Instead of conventional leather, the Hommage uses Car Couture – an exclusive woven fabric developed in Paris and first introduced on the Bugatti Tourbillon. Door panels inherit the Car Couture surface, accented with premium brown leather inserts, delivering a tactile and visual richness.
A central console and transmission tunnel are hand‑crafted from solid aluminum, each piece bespoke. A 41 mm Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Tourbillon watch sits proudly within the console, underscoring the car’s horological ties.
The knee‑area is emblazoned with the signature of legendary driver Pierre Veyron, alongside the initials and birth date of Ferdinand Karl Piëch. The front apron bears the Programme Solitaire “coachbuild” logo, emphasizing the project’s limited‑run nature.
Powertrain – The Heart of a Legend
Under the sleek bonnet lies an 8.0 L W16 engine equipped with four turbochargers – the same power‑plant lineage that fuels the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport. The unit delivers an astonishing 1 600 hp and 1 600 Nm of torque, channeled through a 7‑speed dual‑clutch transmission and an all‑wheel‑drive system.
Performance figures such as 0‑100 km/h time and top speed remain under wraps, preserving the mystique surrounding this singular model.
Limited Production & Legacy
The F.K.P. Hommage is the second creation of the Programme Solitaire, which caps production at just two cars per year. Each vehicle is a fully bespoke project – reimagining the bodywork, interior, and personalization options to tell a unique chapter of Bugatti’s heritage.
While the identity of the buyer remains confidential, the Hommage stands as a testament to Bugatti’s unwavering commitment to artistry, performance, and the celebration of its founders.
