"The result is the F.K.P. Hommage, a one-off hypercar that channels the Veyron's iconic silhouette while hiding Chiron Super Sport mechanicals beneath its red and black bodywork. Named for Ferdinand Karl Piëch, the Volkswagen Group patriarch who championed the original project, this creation incorporates design elements from an abandoned Veyron facelift that never reached production. It's automotive archaeology meeting cutting-edge engineering, wrapped in a package that costs north of €10 million."
"The F.K.P. Hommage takes a different approach entirely. It asks a simple question: what if Bugatti had kept refining the Veyron on the Chiron's platform instead of replacing it? Chief designer Frank Heyl actually had sketches for a Veyron facelift back in 2008, concepts that never materialized because Piëch wanted something more radical. Those sketches became the foundation for this car. The headlights, those hollowed-out "light tunnel" taillights, even the adjusted proportions all stem from that unrealized project."
The 2005 Veyron debuted with 1,000 horsepower, four turbochargers, and a top speed that stunned competitors. A one-off called the F.K.P. Hommage pairs a Veyron-inspired exterior with Chiron Super Sport mechanicals under red-and-black bodywork. The car is named for Ferdinand Karl Piëch and integrates design elements from an abandoned Veyron facelift, carrying bespoke body panels and an altered, slightly wider stance. Bugatti's Programme Solitaire produced the car as its second ultra-custom build, following the Brouillard. Chief designer Frank Heyl used 2008 facelift sketches as the foundation, including hollowed-out "light tunnel" taillights and adjusted proportions. The package sells for north of €10 million.
