Bugatti F.K.P Hommage: When A French Brand Pays Tribute To Old German Leadership

The Bugatti F.K.P Hommage is pays tribute to the old German head of VW Group.

2026 Bugatti F.K.P Hommage - 13

While the exterior design is inspired by the Veyron, the F.K.P. Hommage is constructed on the Chiron Super Sport chassis.

  • Engine: It is equipped with an 8.0-liter quad-turbocharged W16 engine.
  • Output: The powertrain produces 1,600 hp (1,193 kW) and 1,600 Nm of torque.
  • Transmission: A reinforced seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox manages the increased output.
  • Performance: The vehicle maintains a top speed capability exceeding 400 km/h.

The bodywork is a modern reinterpretation of the Veyron’s “Bauhaus-inspired” design.

  • Dimensions and Cooling: The front features larger air intakes and a widened horseshoe grille to meet the higher cooling requirements of the 1,600 hp engine.
  • Lighting: The front is fitted with slim LED headlights, while the rear features three-dimensional circular LED taillights.
  • Wheels and Tires: The car uses 20-inch wheels at the front and 21-inch wheels at the rear, fitted with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires.
  • Paint and Materials: The exterior features a two-tone color scheme. The red sections use a silver aluminum-based coat beneath a red-tinted clear coat for depth. The black sections of the original Veyron are replaced here with exposed carbon fiber featuring a 10% black pigment tint.

The cabin is customized according to the specific requirements of the client, who is unnamed.

  • Upholstery: It features “Custom Car Couture” fabrics woven in Paris and brown leather.
  • Dashboard Integration: A 41mm Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Tourbillon watch is integrated into the dashboard. It features a mechanical rotating mount powered by the vehicle to maintain the self-winding mechanism.
  • Commemorative Details: Ferdinand Piëch’s signature is embroidered into the headrests.

The F.K.P. Hommage will debut as a show car at Retromobile Paris in 2026. Final production and delivery to the owner are scheduled for 2027.
