Bugatti has unveiled the second masterpiece of its exclusive Programme Solitaire – the Bugatti F.K.P. Hommage. This ultra‑rare hypercar is a meticulously crafted salute to the very first Bugatti Veyron and to Ferdinand Karl Piëch, the engineering visionary who laid the groundwork for the iconic W16 power unit.
Limited Production, Unlimited Passion
Only a single example is produced each year, with a maximum of two units annually, making the Hommage one of the most exclusive cars on the planet. Each project under Programme Solitaire re‑imagines the bodywork, interior, and every bespoke detail to tell a new chapter of Bugatti’s heritage.
Exterior Design – A Modern Take on a Classic Silhouette
The F.K.P. Hommage draws direct inspiration from the original 2005 Veyron while introducing fresh, avant‑garde elements:
- Massive, aerodynamic air intakes that dominate the front fascia, paired with an enlarged, 3‑D‑printed horse‑bit grille machined from solid aluminium.
- A high‑gloss, double‑layer paint finish: a vivid scarlet base covered by a transparent red coat over a silver‑aluminium primer, generating striking depth and a three‑dimensional visual effect.
- Exposed black carbon‑fiber trim replaces the traditional black paint, contrasting with a 10% black pigment added to the clear coat for a tactile, multi‑sensory impact.
- Chrome‑plated 12‑spoke wheels echo the original Veyron design—20 inches at the front and 21 inches at the rear—fitted with bespoke Michelin tyres.
- Updated front and rear light clusters maintain the classic hypercar silhouette while employing modern LED technology.
Interior – Bespoke Luxury Meets Bauhaus Heritage
The cabin is a departure from the Chiron and W16 Mistral, featuring a round, Bauhaus‑style steering wheel reminiscent of the 2005 Veyron. Instead of traditional leather, Bugatti employs an exclusive Paris‑crafted fabric called Car Couture, first introduced on the Tourbillon concept. Door panels are wrapped in the same material, accented with premium brown leather.
The central console and transmission tunnel are handcrafted from solid aluminium blocks and host a 41 mm Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Tourbillon watch, underscoring the car’s dedication to haute horology.
Personal touches include:
- A signature from racing legend Pierre Veyron on the knee‑rest.
- Ferdinand Karl Piëch’s initials and birth date engraved nearby.
- The Programme Solitaire “Solitaire” coach‑build logo emblazoned on the front apron.
Powertrain – The Same Beast Under the Hood
At its heart lies the 8.0 L W16 engine with four turbochargers, the same powerhouse that drives the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport. The engine delivers a staggering 1,600 hp and 1,600 Nm of torque, paired with a 7‑speed dual‑clutch transmission and permanent all‑wheel drive.
While exact acceleration figures and top‑speed numbers have not been disclosed, the performance envelope is expected to match or exceed that of the Chiron Super Sport.
Heritage and Exclusivity
The Bugatti F.K.P. Hommage is more than a car; it is a rolling tribute to the engineering courage of Ferdinand Karl Piëch and the timeless allure of the first Veyron. Its ultra‑limited production, bespoke craftsmanship, and narrative‑driven design position it as a collector’s dream and a benchmark for future hypercar tributes.
Stay tuned for the unveiling of its future owner and the official performance stats – the legend continues to evolve.
