Bugatti is back to redefining exclusivity with its latest masterpiece, the FKP Hommage. This isn’t just another limited edition, it’s an engineering tribute to Professor Ferdinand Karl Piëch, the mastermind who brought Bugatti roaring back to life in the 21st century. Built as a salute to the Veyron that changed speed forever, the FKP Hommage is both a technical marvel and a collectible dream, designed for those who see automotive engineering as a legacy.
Solitaire is Bugatti’s most elite customization program, sitting above even the Sur Mesure service. With only two cars created per year, this program transforms each build into an instant investment piece for collectors. The FKP Hommage is only the second car to come from Solitaire, fusing Bugatti’s historic design language with raw, modern power. The program is a direct reflection of Ferdinand Piëch’s uncompromising vision, combining classic beauty with the latest in mechanical force. For Bugatti clients, Solitaire means having a car that stands completely apart, with rarity built into its DNA.
Underneath the FKP Hommage’s sculpted body sits the legendary W16 engine, borrowed from the Chiron Super Sport. This powerhouse is tuned for 1,578 horsepower thanks to four massive turbochargers and a newly engineered cooling system. The transmission has also been beefed up to handle the enormous torque, ensuring acceleration worthy of the Veyron legacy. To put it in perspective, the original Veyron packed 1,001 horsepower when it first stunned the world in 2005—the FKP Hommage takes that benchmark to a whole new level.
Every detail on the FKP Hommage pays respect to the Veyron, but with a daring futuristic edge. The signature curves and rounded forms are instantly recognizable, now sharpened for 2026 and beyond. Ultra slim headlights, custom 20 inch front and 21 inch rear wheels, and a breathtaking bi color finish all help the car stand out as a modern icon. The paint is a masterclass in craftsmanship, blending a silver aluminum base with transparent red layers and exposed carbon fiber elements that echo the famous Veyron two tone look.
Step inside, and the craftsmanship gets even more obsessive. The round steering wheel is a throwback to the original Veyron, while the center console is machined from a solid block of aluminum for that ultimate mechanical touch. The centerpiece is a 41 millimeter Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Tourbillon, seamlessly built into the dashboard—a detail aimed squarely at collectors of the world’s finest things. This collaboration between Bugatti and Audemars Piguet is a showcase of how the worlds of luxury watches and hypercars are more intertwined than ever.
Solitaire is now the peak of Bugatti’s customization pyramid, focusing on one of a kind creations that will never be repeated. With last year’s Broir setting the stage, the FKP Hommage proves Bugatti’s ability to innovate while staying true to its roots. In a world racing toward electrification, these ultra rare editions keep the brand in the spotlight and in the hearts of global collectors. The FKP Hommage isn’t just fast, it’s a bridge between the 253 miles per hour Veyron and an even more powerful, exclusive future.
