Bugatti has unveiled the FKP Hommage, a one-off hyper-GT designed as the “ultimate Veyron”, according to the brand’s design chief.
Named after Ferdinand Karl Piëch - the former Volkswagen Group chairman who drove the original Veyron project – the FKP Hommage is based on the Chiron and powered by Bugatti’s iconic quad-turbo W16 engine.
While it features clear nods to the original Veyron, Bugatti says the car shows what a modern-day Veyron could look like. It is the second bespoke model created by Bugatti’s Solitaire division, following the Mistral-based Brouillard, and was built as a one-off commission.
Power comes from the 1,578bhp version of the W16 engine first used in the Chiron Super Sport. This setup includes an upgraded cooling system, improved intercoolers and a reinforced gearbox to handle the extra performance.
The design takes inspiration from the 2005 Veyron 16.4 – named for its 16 cylinders and four turbochargers - but has been heavily refined. Bugatti design boss Frank Heyl said every surface has been reworked to improve the car’s proportions and aerodynamics.
He explained: “Designing a car like this is a huge honour, but also a challenge. When you work on an icon, you have to be very careful. Authenticity matters. Some of the design themes we used were ideas we originally sketched years ago, which makes the car feel legitimate and true to Bugatti’s history.”
Key updates include a more upright, three-dimensional horseshoe grille and new L-shaped LED headlights, giving the car a sharper, more focused look. The front air intakes are significantly larger than those on the Veyron, allowing more air to reach the more powerful engine.
The FKP Hommage also uses staggered wheel sizes - 20 inches at the front and 21 inches at the rear – a feature originally planned for the Veyron but only introduced later on the Chiron.
Like the Veyron, the car features a two-tone paint finish. The deep red colour is created using advanced layering techniques, while the rear section is finished in exposed carbon fibre. The unnamed owner chose the red and black colour scheme to match their existing Veyron.
Inside, the focus is firmly on craftsmanship. The centre console is machined from a single block of aluminium, the fabrics are woven by a specialist company in Paris, and the dashboard houses a 43mm Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Tourbillon watch.
The watch is fully functional and automatic, meaning it keeps itself wound by rotating several times an hour, despite having no mechanical connection to the car.
Bugatti has not confirmed the exact price, but says the FKP Hommage cost more than €10 million (£8.8m), placing it in the same territory as the £11.3m La Voiture Noire unveiled in 2019.
