Discover the Bugatti F.K.P. Hommage, a one‑off hypercar honoring Ferdinand Karl Piëch and the original Veyron. Explore its unique design and specs now!
Bugatti has just revealed the second masterpiece of its exclusive Programme Solitaire: the Bugatti F.K.P. Hommage. Inspired by the very first Bugatti Veyron ever built, the car pays homage to Ferdinand Karl Piëch – the visionary who laid the foundation for the iconic W16 engine.
Exterior: A Modern Take on a Classic Silhouette
The Hommage features an enlarged air‑intake opening and an expanded 3‑D horse‑shaped grille machined from a solid aluminium block. A special two‑tone paint finish combines a deep metallic silver base with a translucent ruby‑red top coat, creating a striking depth effect that changes with the light.
Exposed black carbon‑fiber accents replace the traditional black paint, adding a subtle contrast that is further enhanced by a 10% black pigment blended into the clear coat. The result is a richer visual texture and a tactile experience that feels both high‑tech and handcrafted.
Rolling on bespoke 12‑spoke chrome‑plated wheels – 20 inches at the front and 21 inches at the rear – the car is shod with dedicated Michelin tires. Updated front and rear light clusters echo the Veyron’s design language while delivering a more contemporary aesthetic.
Interior: Bespoke Luxury Reimagined
Inside, the Hommage breaks away from the Chiron and W16 Mistral playbooks. It adopts the round, Bauhaus‑style steering wheel first seen on the original Veyron, pairing it with the exclusive Car Couture woven fabric developed in Paris. This material debuted on the Bugatti Tourbillon and replaces conventional leather for a fresh, tactile feel.
The door panels inherit the Car Couture treatment from the Chiron, over‑laid with premium brown leather. A fully bespoke center console and transmission tunnel are forged from solid aluminium, each bearing a 41 mm Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Tourbillon dial.
Personal touches include a knee‑rest plate signed by racing legend Pierre Veyron, alongside the initials and birthdate of Ferdinand Karl Piëch. The front bumper proudly displays the “Solitaire” coach‑build logo.
Powertrain: The Heart of a Hypercar
Under the hood lies an 8.0‑liter W16 engine equipped with four turbochargers – the same powerplant that propels the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport. It delivers a staggering 1,600 hp and 1,600 Nm of torque, mated to a dual‑clutch seven‑speed gearbox and permanent all‑wheel drive.
While exact acceleration figures and top‑speed numbers remain under wraps, the engine’s performance is expected to match the legendary capabilities of its Chiron sibling.
Exclusivity & Legacy
The F.K.P. Hommage is an ultra‑limited creation – Programme Solitaire aims to produce no more than two units per year, each completely re‑designed from chassis to interior. The project’s purpose is to tell a new chapter in Bugatti’s heritage, celebrating the brand’s engineering milestones and the people behind them.
The identity of the inaugural owner remains confidential, adding an extra layer of mystique to this collector’s item.
Conclusion
With the Bugatti F.K.P. Hommage, the French maison blends cutting‑edge technology, handcrafted artistry, and a heartfelt tribute to one of its most influential architects. It stands as a testament to Bugatti’s enduring commitment to pushing the boundaries of luxury performance while honoring the legacy that made the Veyron an icon.
