Discover the exclusive Bugatti F.K.P. Hommage, a handcrafted tribute to the original Veyron and Ferdinand Karl Piëch. Explore its bespoke design now!
Bugatti has unveiled its second masterpiece from the ultra‑exclusive Programme Solitaire – the Bugatti F.K.P. Hommage. This one‑off hypercar is a heartfelt homage to the very first Bugatti Veyron and to Ferdinand Karl Piëch, the visionary who championed the W16 engine that made the Veyron possible.
Design inspiration
The F.K.P. Hommage draws every line from the historic 2005 Veyron prototype. While honoring the original silhouette, the new model features a dramatically enlarged front air intake and a re‑engineered 3‑D horse‑shoe grille milled from a solid block of aluminium, giving it a futuristic yet unmistakably Bugatti presence.
Exterior highlights
- Paint: A deep, multi‑layered red finish with a silver aluminium base creates a stunning depth‑of‑field effect.
- Carbon fibre: Exposed black carbon‑weave replaces traditional black paint, contrasting with a 10% black pigment mixed into the transparent lacquer for a tactile visual appeal.
- Wheels: Hand‑finished 12‑spoke chrome rims – 20″ at the front, 21″ at the rear – paired with bespoke Michelin tires.
- Lighting: Updated front and rear clusters echo the Veyron’s signature style while incorporating modern LED technology.
Interior craftsmanship
The cabin is a clean break from the Chiron and the recent W16 Mistral. It returns to the classic round steering wheel of the original Veyron and replaces conventional leather with an exclusive Paris‑crafted woven fabric called Car Couture, first seen on the Bugatti Tourbillon.
Door panels, originally from the Chiron, are re‑upholstered with a premium Car Couture‑leather blend in rich brown. The central console and transmission tunnel are machined from solid aluminium blocks, housing a limited‑edition 41 mm Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Tourbillon watch.
Personal touches include a knee‑board bearing the signature of racing legend Pierre Veyron, alongside Ferdinand Karl Piëch’s initials and birthdate. The front bumper proudly displays the “Solitaire” coach‑build badge.
Powertrain
Under the bonnet lies the heart of the hypercar – an 8.0‑litre W16 engine with four turbochargers, borrowed directly from the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport. It delivers a jaw‑dropping 1,600 hp and 1,600 Nm of torque, paired with a seven‑speed dual‑clutch gearbox and permanent four‑wheel drive.
Performance figures such as 0‑60 mph acceleration and top speed remain under wraps, preserving the mystique of this singular creation.
Limited production & legacy
The F.K.P. Hommage is the second piece in the Programme Solitaire series, which caps production at only two cars per year. Each vehicle is a fully bespoke reinterpretation of Bugatti’s legacy, designed to tell a unique story of heritage and innovation.
While the owner’s identity remains confidential, the car stands as a rolling tribute to the engineering brilliance of Ferdinand Karl Piëch and the timeless allure of the original Veyron.
Conclusion
With its blend of historic reverence, cutting‑edge materials, and uncompromising performance, the Bugatti F.K.P. Hommage redefines what a tribute hypercar can be. It is not merely a car; it is a masterpiece of automotive art awaiting its elite custodian.
