Bugatti Unveils Stunning F.K.P. Hommage, a Veyron Recreation
Bugatti has unveiled an exceptional one-off creation called the F.K.P. Hommage, a tribute to the iconic Veyron. Named after Ferdinand Karl Piëch, the visionary behind the Veyron, this model honors the 20th anniversary of the original hypercar.
Overview of the F.K.P. Hommage
The F.K.P. Hommage represents a blend of nostalgia and modern engineering, constructed using the foundations of Bugatti’s latest model, the Chiron. It is the second vehicle produced under Bugatti’s Solitaire program, which specializes in bespoke commissions characterized by unique design and bespoke interiors.
A Nod to the Past
The groundwork for this creation stems from the Bugatti Mistral, which enables a distinctive design language. This allows for a flatter rear side window and a design that pays homage to the original Veyron.
Performance Specifications
- Engine: 1,578bhp, 8.0-litre quad-turbo W16
- Turbochargers: Upgraded for increased power
- Cooling Systems: Enhanced cooling for optimal performance
- Gearbox: Reinforced to handle the increased output
This powerhouse engine elevates the F.K.P. Hommage well beyond the original Veyron, which had 987bhp. It incorporates improvements first introduced with the Bugatti Super Sport model.
Design Highlights
The F.K.P. Hommage features a striking black and red color palette, evoking the original customer Veyron delivered in 2005. The bodywork is made from exposed carbon, adding depth and a unique aesthetic.
Key design elements include:
- Red-tinted clear coat over silver paint
- Refined front fascia with slimmer headlights
- Larger, more pronounced horseshoe grille
- Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires mounted on 20-inch and 21-inch wheels
At the rear, upgraded exhaust tips and circular LED taillights accentuate its aggressive stance.
Interior Features
The interior is a fusion of Chiron functionality and Veyron aesthetics. It combines modern interface elements with classic design traits:
- Circular steering wheel reminiscent of the Veyron
- Updated center console with traditional Veyron dials
- Luxurious materials including bespoke fabrics sourced from Paris
Additionally, the headrests feature a tribute to Piëch, with his signature and birthdate stitched into the leather upholstery.
Exclusive Collaborations
As part of its luxury appeal, the F.K.P. Hommage displays a bespoke Audemars Piguet timepiece integrated into the interior. This unique feature adds an element of craftsmanship befitting its status.
The F.K.P. Hommage transcends typical supercar status, merging advanced engineering with tailored design. With an estimated price between £15 million and £20 million, this model makes a bold statement in the world of hypercars, marking a significant point in automotive history.
