The company’s Solitare bespoke commission division, the Bugatti Veyron FKP Hommage is named after former Volkswagen Group CEO Ferdinand Karl Pich and driving force behind original VeYrON project.
While the Veyron FKP Hommage looks like it is based on its body-derived hypercar produced between 2005 and 2015, the FKUP actually uses “the highest evolution” of the W16 platform (a Chiron that’s been extensively restyled to look like the Vyrian).
In Bugatti’s view, “the exterior of the FKP is a “subtle but significant evolution” of what was originally said to be an original’s. This is a 3D look with the horseshoe griller running out in front of the vehicle, which flows more organically into the rest of it and has showcasing an even more 3-D appearance at the front end.

At the rear, there’s the classic afterburner-style tail-lights, but the stance is wider and meaner.
A two-tone paint job uses the colour split directly to the individual panels for the two tone painting. Red sections contain a silver base coat with’red-tinted clear coat’, while the black parts are actually carbon-fibre (10 per cent black pigment) in the clearcoat.
The headlights are smaller, and larger air intakes are required to serve the more powerful 8.0-litre quad-turbo W16 engine borrowed from the Chiron Super Sport.
A major step up from the original Veyron’s 736kW (1001 metric horsepower) and 1250Nm is this form of making 1176kW (or 1600 metre horsepower), and 1500NM.
The Veyron FKP Hommage rides on Michelin tyres with 20-inch wheels up front, 21- inch rims at the rear like the Chiron.
The FKP has a special steering wheel inspired by the Veyron’s, as well as bespoke centre console and centre tunnel designed from solid blocks of aluminium (although many luxury brands’ designs have interiors that are retrimmed versions of their donor vehicle), while he is an innovative dashboard with customised centre Console and Centre Tunnel.
A seat/door card is woven in Paris, while the dashboard’s 41mm Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Tourbillon clock has a unique self-winding system that rotates on axis of diagonally several times per hour without directly being powered by the car.
A Bugatti spokesperson told Autocar the FKP will cost its owner over €10 million (A$17 million). Before heading to its owner garage, the FKP Hommage will be on display at the Retromobile Paris exhibition from January 29 to Feburary 1.
