Bugatti has unveiled the F.K.P. Hommage, the second creation under the ultra‑exclusive Programme Solitaire coachbuild series. Limited to a single unit per year, this hypercar is a heartfelt homage to Ferdinand Karl Piëch and the very first Bugatti Veyron, the model that set the benchmark for modern supercars.
Design Inspiration
The Hommage draws directly from the original 2005 Veyron, reinterpreting its iconic silhouette with modern engineering flair. Every line and surface is a nod to the pioneering spirit of Piëch, who championed the revolutionary W16 power unit that made the Veyron a legend.
Exterior Craftsmanship
Key highlights of the exterior include:
- Massive, functional air intakes that echo the Veyron’s breath‑taking cooling arches.
- A 3‑D‑finished, horse‑shoe‑shaped front grille, milled from a solid block of aluminium and enlarged for a more aggressive stance.
- A dual‑layer paint system: a deep, glossy ruby red over a silver‑aluminium primer, creating a striking depth‑of‑field effect.
- Exposed carbon‑fiber trim finished in black, set against a subtly tinted clear coat that adds tactile richness.
- Chrome‑plated 12‑spoke wheels (20″ front, 21″ rear) wrapped in bespoke Michelin tires, faithfully reproducing the classic Veyron design.
Interior Luxury
Inside, the Hommage breaks with tradition. Instead of the usual full‑leather upholstery, Bugatti uses a proprietary Paris‑crafted fabric called Car Couture, first showcased on the Tourbillon concept. The steering wheel returns to the round, Bauhaus‑inspired shape of the original Veyron.
Additional bespoke touches include:
- Door panels wrapped in Car Couture‑treated leather for a sumptuous, tactile finish.
- A central console and gearbox housing machined from solid aluminium, each bearing an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Tourbillon 41 mm watch dial.
- Personalized engravings: the driver’s knee‑area displays Pierre Veyron’s signature, while the passenger side carries Piëch’s initials and birthdate.
- The front footwell is adorned with the “Solitaire” coachbuild logo, underscoring the project’s exclusivity.
Powertrain & Performance
At its heart lies the legendary 8.0‑litre W16 engine, the same 1,600 hp, 1,600 Nm powerplant found in the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport. Coupled with a 7‑speed dual‑clutch transmission and a permanent all‑wheel‑drive system, the Hommage promises performance figures on par with the world’s fastest hypercars, though official acceleration and top‑speed numbers remain unrevealed.
Exclusivity & Heritage
Only two units of the Programme Solitaire are produced each year, each fully bespoke from chassis to cabin. The F.K.P. Hommage is the second such masterpiece, created to celebrate Bugatti’s heritage and the engineers who made it possible. The identity of the private owner has not been disclosed, adding an extra layer of mystique to this automotive work of art.
With its fusion of historic design cues, cutting‑edge materials, and an unrivalled powertrain, the Bugatti F.K.P. Hommage stands as a living tribute to the Veyron’s legacy—and a testament to the brand’s relentless pursuit of perfection.
