Bugatti didn’t just build a car.

📍 ‘It built a farewell letter.’
 
Carbon fibre, W16 thunder, and a name that reads like a whispered apology: F.K.P. Hommage.
 
Not a model.
 
A monument.

 

The full story

 
Some cars arrive with noise.
 
Others arrive with meaning.
 
The Bugatti F.K.P. Hommage is firmly the latter.
 
❖ A deeply personal tribute to Ferdinand Karl Piëch, the man who dragged Bugatti back from history and turned it into the most improbable supercar project of the modern era.
 
Without Piëch, there is no Veyron. No Chiron.
 
No obsessive pursuit of four-digit horsepower wrapped in haute couture.
 
The Hommage exists because Piëch believed something outrageous: that engineering should occasionally ignore common sense entirely.
 
❖ Just one example was built.
 
Finished in a restrained, almost defiant specification, it quietly celebrates everything Piëch stood for — over-engineering, elegance, and the polite refusal to accept limits.
 
Under the carbon lies the now-mythical W16, a powertrain so complex it feels less like an engine and more like a philosophical statement.
 
❖ Not because it was necessary. Because it was possible.
 
In a world drifting towards silence, software and sustainability metrics, the F.K.P. Hommage feels like the last handwritten letter before email took over.
 
• No press circus.
• No influencer unveiling.
• No algorithm.
 
Just one car, built for one man, by a brand that knows it will never be allowed to be this irrational again.
 

❖ Why it matters

The F.K.P. Hommage isn’t about speed or scarcity. It’s about legacy.
 
📍 ‘A reminder that the greatest machines are often built not for markets — but for individuals bold enough to ignore them.’
