Bugatti has just revealed the second masterpiece of its ultra‑exclusive Programme Solitaire – the Bugatti F.K.P. Hommage. Inspired by the very first Bugatti Veyron and created as a tribute to the late Ferdinand Karl Piëch, the car embodies the pinnacle of the brand’s artisanal craftsmanship.
Design and Aerodynamics
The F.K.P. Hommage adopts the iconic silhouette of the original Veyron while introducing a dramatically enlarged front air intake and a 3‑D horse‑shoe grille milled from a solid block of aluminium. A special two‑tone paint finish – a deep red clearcoat over a silver‑aluminium primer – adds depth and a three‑dimensional visual effect that shifts with the light.
Exposed carbon‑fiber accents are finished in a glossy black, contrasting with a subtle 10% black pigment blended into the transparent lacquer, delivering a rich tactile and visual experience.
Wheels and Tyres
Wheel designers revisited the classic Veyron 12‑spoke chrome layout, fitting 20‑inch rims at the front and 21‑inch rims at the rear, each paired with single‑piece Michelin tyres crafted specifically for this model.
Lighting and Aerodynamic Details
Both front and rear light clusters receive a modern reinterpretation that still echoes the Veyron’s signature look. The hypercar retains the massive rear vent that characterises the classic design, enhancing cooling and adding a dramatic visual cue.
Interior – A New Chapter
Inside, the F.K.P. Hommage diverges from the Chiron and the upcoming W16 Mistral, opting for a round, Bauhaus‑style steering wheel reminiscent of the Veyron era. Instead of traditional leather, the cabin is upholstered in a proprietary Paris‑crafted fabric called Car Couture, first seen on the Bugatti Tourbillon concept.
Doors feature Car Couture‑covered panels combined with premium brown leather, while the central console and transmission tunnel are hand‑crafted from solid aluminium blocks. A bespoke 41 mm Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Tourbillon watch adorns the console, underscoring the car’s horological heritage.
Personal touches include a plaque bearing the signature of racing legend Pierre Veyron, alongside the initials and birthdate of Ferdinand Karl Piëch. The front of the vehicle proudly displays the “Solitaire” coach‑build badge.
Powertrain – Pure W16 Heritage
At its heart lies an 8.0‑litre W16 engine, identical to the powerhouse found in the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport. The engine delivers a staggering 1,600 hp and 1,600 Nm of torque, mated to a dual‑clutch 7‑speed gearbox and permanent all‑wheel drive.
Performance figures such as 0‑100 km/h acceleration and top speed remain under wraps, adding to the aura of exclusivity surrounding this unique prototype.
Limited Production and Legacy
The F.K.P. Hommage is the second vehicle in the Programme Solitaire line, which caps production at just two units per year. Each car is a completely bespoke re‑imagining of the chassis, interior, and personalised details, aimed at chronicling Bugatti’s storied legacy.
Owner identity has not been disclosed, preserving the mystery that surrounds this singular piece of automotive art.
For enthusiasts and collectors alike, the Bugatti F.K.P. Hommage represents a rare convergence of history, engineering brilliance, and luxurious craftsmanship – a true tribute to the visionary Ferdinand Karl Piëch.
