Bugatti FKP Hommage: 1,578 HP Veyron Tribute

Bugatti has just unveiled another ultra-rare one-off hypercar—and this time it’s a love letter to the model that reshaped modern performance benchmarks. Called the Bugatti FKP Hommage, the latest creation from the brand’s most exclusive personalization tier honors the legendary Veyron and the man who championed its return: Prof. Dr. Ferdinand Karl Piëch.

A one-off Bugatti, built to celebrate the Veyron era

Arriving shortly after the striking Bugatti Brouillard, the FKP Hommage becomes the second vehicle commissioned under Programme Solitaire—Bugatti’s top-shelf bespoke program that sits above the already-extensive Sur Mesure offering. The idea is simple: fewer cars, more freedom, and craftsmanship taken to extremes. Bugatti plans to create just two Programme Solitaire cars per year, underscoring how rare these commissions really are.

W16 power with Chiron Super Sport muscle

While the design nods to the past, the engineering is firmly modern Bugatti. The FKP Hommage is based on Bugatti’s W16 platform and uses the quad-turbocharged W16 engine from the Chiron Super Sport.

Key performance and hardware highlights

Bugatti’s updated W16 package brings:

• Larger turbochargers for higher output
• Improved cooling for sustained high-speed performance
• A reinforced gearbox to handle the immense torque and power

The result is an eye-widening 1,578 horsepower—placing the FKP Hommage solidly in today’s top tier of hypercar performance, even if Bugatti hasn’t published acceleration or top-speed figures for this one-off.

Design: modern cues, classic Veyron proportions

Bugatti didn’t attempt a literal Veyron replica. Instead, the FKP Hommage reinterprets the familiar rounded silhouette with contemporary details—most notably slimmer, slit-like headlights that instantly reveal its modern origins.

Bespoke bodywork is paired with a purposeful stance on staggered wheels: 20 inches up front and 21 inches at the rear. The paintwork also plays directly into Veyron nostalgia. The exterior wears a red finish laid over a silver aluminum base coat with a red-tinted clearcoat. The contrasting darker sections are exposed carbon fiber with a tinted treatment, echoing the Veyron’s iconic two-tone look in a more technical, modern way.

Cabin details that only a coachbuilt Bugatti would attempt

Inside, the theme continues with a clear nod to the original Veyron’s character. The FKP Hommage features a circular steering wheel reminiscent of the early Veyron interior design, complemented by a bespoke center console machined from solid aluminum.

Then there’s the standout flourish: a 41 mm Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Tourbillon integrated into the dashboard—an automotive-and-horology flex that perfectly fits the world of one-off Bugatti commissions.

Why the tribute matters: Veyron legacy, 20 years on

It’s hard to overstate the Veyron’s impact. When it launched roughly two decades ago, it arrived with 1,001 horsepower, all-wheel drive traction, and a then-unthinkable 253 mph top speed. Just as importantly, it helped relaunch Bugatti as a 21st-century engineering icon—an effort closely associated with Piëch’s vision.

The FKP Hommage doesn’t try to live in the past; it translates that landmark moment into today’s language of extreme horsepower, advanced materials, and truly bespoke craftsmanship. In an era where ultra-limited hypercars are as much about identity as speed, Bugatti’s Programme Solitaire is positioning the brand at the very top of the one-off market.

Quick takeaways

• Second one-off from Bugatti’s Programme Solitaire after the Brouillard
• Chiron Super Sport-derived quad-turbo W16 with 1,578 hp
• Modernized Veyron-inspired design with bespoke bodywork and two-tone finish
• High-end interior details, including an AP Royal Oak Tourbillon on the dash
