Discover the Bugatti F.K.P. Hommage, a one‑off hypercar honoring Ferdinand Karl Piëch and the original Veyron. Explore its design, specs, and exclusivity now.
Bugatti has unveiled the second masterpiece from its exclusive Programme Solitaire – the Bugatti F.K.P. Hommage. This singular hypercar draws inspiration from the very first Bugatti Veyron and serves as a heartfelt homage to Ferdinand Karl Piëch, the engineering visionary who laid the groundwork for the iconic W16 power unit.
Design language that re‑defines a classic
While echoing the silhouette of the original Veyron, the Hommage pushes the envelope with a massive roof‑mounted air intake and a dramatically enlarged, 3‑D horse‑shoe grille machined from solid aluminium. The exterior is painted in a special metallic red, built up with a multi‑layer coating that sandwiches a shimmering silver‑aluminium base beneath a transparent crystal‑clear lacquer, giving the body an eye‑catching depth and three‑dimensional effect.
Exposed carbon‑fiber strips in a deep black replace the traditional black paint, contrasting with a subtle 10 % black pigment blended into the clear coat. This creates a rich tactile and visual experience that differentiates the Hommage from any other Bugatti.
- Front and rear 12‑spoke chrome‑plated wheels, 20″ up front and 21″ at the rear, shod with bespoke Michelin tires.
- Modernised front and rear light clusters that subtly reinterpret the Veyron’s classic styling.
- Signature large dorsal vents behind the cockpit, a nod to the hypercar’s heritage.
Interior – couture meets heritage
The cabin is a departure from the Chiron and the W16 Mistral, featuring a round, Bauhaus‑style steering wheel reminiscent of the original Veyron. Instead of conventional leather, Bugatti opts for its exclusive Paris‑made Car Couture woven fabric, first introduced on the Tourbillon concept.
Door panels borrow the refined Car Couture surface from the Chiron, blended with premium brown leather. The central console and drivetrain tunnel are hand‑crafted from solid aluminium blocks, each piece bespoke. At the heart of the console sits a 41 mm Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Tourbillon watch, underscoring the car’s horological inspiration.
Personal touches include a knee‑pad plate signed by racing legend Pierre Veyron, alongside the initials and birthdate of Ferdinand Karl Piëch. The front fascia bears the Solitaire coach‑build logo, cementing its place in the exclusive programme.
Powertrain – the same soul, a new beast
Under the hood, the Hommage houses the legendary 8.0‑litre W16 engine equipped with four turbochargers – the same heart that powers the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport. Output remains 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 0‑60 mph times and top speed have not yet been disclosed, preserving an element of mystery around this one‑off masterpiece.
Exclusivity and legacy
F.K.P. Hommage is the second creation from Programme Solitaire, a venture that limits production to just two vehicles per year. Each car is a wholly new interpretation of Bugatti’s chassis, interior, and bespoke details, crafted to narrate a unique chapter of the brand’s storied heritage.
The identity of the buyer remains confidential, adding to the aura of this singular collector’s item.
Conclusion
With its combination of avant‑garde design, luxurious bespoke materials, and the raw power of the 8.0 L W16, the Bugatti F.K.P. Hommage stands as a moving tribute to both the first Veyron and the engineering legend Ferdinand Karl Piëch. It reaffirms Bugatti’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of automotive artistry while honouring the rich legacy that makes the marque timeless.
