Discover the Bugatti F.K.P. Hommage, a unique hypercar honoring the original Veyron and Ferdinand Karl Piëch. Explore its bespoke design and power today.
Bugatti has unveiled the second masterpiece of its exclusive Programme Solitaire – the Bugatti F.K.P. Hommage. Limited to just two units per year, this one‑off hypercar celebrates the original Bugatti Veyron and the engineer who made the W16 engine possible, Ferdinand Karl Piëch.
Design philosophy – a modern reinterpretation of a classic
The Hommage draws its silhouette from the 2005 Veyron, but every detail has been re‑engineered for today’s standards. A massive front air intake, a widened nose and a three‑dimensional 3D‑printed horse‑shaped grille dominate the façade, all machined from a solid aluminum block.
Exterior finish – depth and drama
The body is cloaked in an exclusive, multi‑layer red paint. A silver‑aluminum base sits beneath a clear, high‑gloss red coat, giving the surface a striking three‑dimensional depth that changes with the light. Exposed carbon‑fiber elements in matte black replace conventional black paint, creating a subtle contrast enhanced by a 10% black pigment mixed into the clear coat.
Wheels, tyres and aerodynamics
- Front: 20‑inch, 12‑spoke chrome‑plated wheels inspired by the original Veyron design.
- Rear: 21‑inch, 12‑spoke chrome‑plated wheels.
- Tyres: Bespoke Michelin tires, hand‑selected for each wheel.
- Air intakes: Two large dorsal scoops behind the cockpit retain the classic hypercar silhouette while feeding the massive W16 engine.
Interior – Bauhaus elegance meets Parisian couture
The cabin departs from standard Bugatti leather, opting for an exclusive Paris‑made fabric called Car Couture. The round, Bauhaus‑style steering wheel is a direct homage to the Veyron. Door panels blend Car Couture fabric with premium brown leather, while the central console and transmission tunnel are hand‑crafted from solid aluminum blocks.
Special touches include a 41 mm Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Tourbillon watch face embedded in the centre console, and a personalised knee‑rest bearing Pierre Veyron’s signature alongside Ferdinand Karl Piëch’s initials and birth date. The front fascia proudly displays the Solitaire coach‑build logo.
Powertrain – the heart of a legend
Under the bonnet lies the legendary 8.0‑liter W16 engine with four turbochargers, the same power unit found in the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport. It delivers a staggering 1,600 hp and 1,600 Nm of torque, paired with a seven‑speed dual‑clutch transmission and permanent all‑wheel drive.
Performance figures such as 0‑100 km/h time and top speed have not been released, preserving an air of mystery around this unique machine.
Programme Solitaire – bespoke storytelling
The F.K.P. Hommage is the second creation in Bugatti’s Programme Solitaire, a bespoke project that rebuilds the entire car – body, interior, and personalisation – to tell a new chapter of Bugatti’s heritage. Only two cars are produced each year, each tailored to a collector’s vision.
Conclusion – a living tribute
With its blend of cutting‑edge engineering, handcrafted artistry, and reverence for the pioneers of the brand, the Bugatti F.K.P. Hommage stands as a rolling monument to the Veyron’s legacy and to Ferdinand Karl Piëch’s visionary contributions. It is more than a hypercar; it is a statement of timeless luxury and automotive passion.
