Discover the Bugatti F.K.P. Hommage, a one‑off hypercar honoring Ferdinand Karl Piëch and the original Veyron. Explore its exclusive design now!
Bugatti has once again turned heads with the unveiling of the F.K.P. Hommage, a singular hyper‑car that pays homage to both the legendary engineer Ferdinand Karl Piëch and the very first Bugatti Veyron produced in 2005. Conceived under the exclusive Programme Solitaire, the vehicle is a bespoke masterpiece limited to just one unit per year.
Heritage and Inspiration
The design language borrows heavily from the original Veyron, the car that defined a new era of speed and engineering excellence. Ferdinand Karl Piëch, the visionary who championed the W16 engine architecture, is honored through subtle details that trace back to his groundbreaking work.
Exterior Highlights
The F.K.P. Hommage showcases a host of visual upgrades that distinguish it from its predecessor:
- Massive front air intakes designed to feed the hungry W16 engine.
- A 3‑D horse‑shoe grille crafted from a single block of machined aluminium, enlarged for a more aggressive stance.
- Special dual‑tone paint – a deep ruby‑red clear coat over a reflective silver‑aluminium primer, creating a striking three‑dimensional effect.
- Exposed black carbon‑fibre trims that replace traditional black paint, adding tactile contrast.
- Chrome‑plated 12‑spoke wheels (20″ front, 21″ rear) modeled after the original Veyron, paired with bespoke Michelin tires.
Lighting and Aerodynamics
Both the front and rear clusters have been reimagined with a modern aesthetic while retaining the classic Veyron silhouette. The car also keeps the iconic large dorsal air vents behind the cockpit, a hallmark of the historic hyper‑car.
Interior Craftsmanship
Inside, the Hommage diverges from the Chiron and W16 Mistral, introducing an entirely new cabin:
- A round, Bauhaus‑style steering wheel that echoes the original Veyron layout.
- Upholstery made from Car Couture woven fabric, a Paris‑exclusive material first shown on the Bugatti Tourbillon, replacing the conventional leather.
- Door panels wrapped in Car Couture combined with premium brown leather, an homage to the Chiron’s treatment.
- A bespoke centre console and transmission tunnel machined from solid aluminium, featuring an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Tourbillon 41 mm watch face.
- Personal touches such as Pierre Veyron’s signature on the knee‑support pads and Ferdinand Karl Piëch’s initials and birth date on the surrounding trim.
- The “Solitaire” coach‑build badge proudly displayed on the front apron.
Powertrain – The Heart of the Hommage
Under the sculpted bonnet sits the same 8.0 L W16 engine found in the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport, delivering a staggering 1,600 hp and 1,600 Nm of torque. Power is sent through a seven‑speed dual‑clutch transmission to all‑wheel drive, ensuring the car remains as thrilling as it is exclusive.
Performance Figures
Official acceleration and top‑speed numbers have not been released, in keeping with the secretive nature of this unique build. What is certain is that the F.K.P. Hommage inherits the hyper‑car’s raw potential.
Limited Production & Legacy
The F.K.P. Hommage is the second creation of the Programme Solitaire, which caps output at two cars per year. Each project involves a total redesign of bodywork, interior, and personalization options to tell a distinct chapter of Bugatti’s storied heritage.
Conclusion
With its blend of historic reverence and cutting‑edge craftsmanship, the Bugatti F.K.P. Hommage stands as a moving tribute to the engineers and visionaries who forged the brand’s legend. It is not just a car, but a collectible work of automotive art destined to captivate enthusiasts for generations.
