20 years ago, Dr. Ferdinand Karl Piech dreamt of a new supercar that would not only set new performance benchmarks, but would also create an entirely new category of hypercars. Today, Bugatti has revealed a new one-off model in honor of this visionary engineer and head of the VW Group who conceived the legendary Veyron.
Created under the Solitaire programme, the Bugatti FKP Hommage pays tribute to the contributions of Dr. Piech, with a design that’s heavily inspired by the original Veyron 16.4.
As expected, the FKP Hommage is more like a restomod of the Veyron. The car features a similar shape with smooth surfaces all around. It has a three-dimensional horseshoe grille, machined from a solid block of aluminium, horizontal headlamp units and four circular LED taillights. The polished wheels, too, have a familiar design.
Unlike the original Veyron, which had a cream interior, the FKP Hommage uses brown interior upholstery. The dashboard, although new, is clearly inspired by the Veyron. Bugatti has also integrated a 41 mm Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Tourbillon timepiece into the dashboard.
The Bugatti FKP Hommage is based on the Chiron. It is powered by the latest and greatest iteration of the 8.0-liter W16 engine, which makes 1600 hp.
