He needed a brand with enough stature to host such an engine and purchased Bugatti in 1998 to enable it to happen. Prototypes quickly followed, with the Veyron 18.4 Concept being shown at the 1999 Tokyo Motor Show.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/car-images.bauersecure.com\/wp-images\/246680\/480x0\/084-bugatti-fkp-hommage.jpg?scale=down\" alt class=\"wp-image-246698\" data-interchange=\"[https:\/\/car-images.bauersecure.com\/wp-images\/246680\/480x0\/084-bugatti-fkp-hommage.jpg?scale=down, (default)], [https:\/\/car-images.bauersecure.com\/wp-images\/246680\/720x0\/084-bugatti-fkp-hommage.jpg?scale=down, (medium)], [https:\/\/car-images.bauersecure.com\/wp-images\/246680\/1040x0\/084-bugatti-fkp-hommage.jpg?scale=down, (large)]\"><\/figure>\n<div class=\"mpu-inject hide-for-medium-up\">\n<div class=\"mpu-ad advert\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p>Though Bugatti eventually had to settle on only 16 cylinders, Piech soon set out his vision to create a car capable of 1001hp (987bhp), 400km\/h (249mph), that could accelerate from 0-62mph in under three seconds and yet still be comfortable enough to take him and his wife to the opera. It was a highly ambitious project, and Piech wouldn\u2019t ever for settle for anything less than his vision, with the Veyron being shown in production form in 2005 and customer cars arriving a year later.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What\u2019s the FKP Hommage based on?<\/h2>\n<p>Bugatti\u2019s Solitaire programme uses the firm\u2019s latest technical platforms, so rather than the FKP Hommage being a restomod version of an existing Veyron, it is based on the last W16 underpinnings, the same as the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.carmagazine.co.uk\/car-reviews\/bugatti\/chiron-super-sport\/\">Chiron Super Sport<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.carmagazine.co.uk\/car-news\/first-official-pictures\/bugatti\/mistral\/\">Mistral<\/a>.

It introduces some design details that were penned to go on a facelift version of the Veyron, which never materialised as Bugatti instead decide to focus on the development of the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.carmagazine.co.uk\/car-reviews\/bugatti\/bugatti-chiron-2017-review\/\">Chiron<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>These include new LED daytime running lights, as well as tinted \u2018tunnel\u2019 LED rear lights.

New digitalised controls are introduced but not at the expense of style, while the seat fabric is borrowed from the Tourbillon but the pattern for the FKP Hommage has been specifically created for this car and won\u2019t be used again.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/car-images.bauersecure.com\/wp-images\/246680\/480x0\/090-bugatti-fkp-hommage.jpg?scale=down\" alt class=\"wp-image-246703\" data-interchange=\"[https:\/\/car-images.bauersecure.com\/wp-images\/246680\/480x0\/090-bugatti-fkp-hommage.jpg?scale=down, (default)], [https:\/\/car-images.bauersecure.com\/wp-images\/246680\/720x0\/090-bugatti-fkp-hommage.jpg?scale=down, (medium)], [https:\/\/car-images.bauersecure.com\/wp-images\/246680\/1040x0\/090-bugatti-fkp-hommage.jpg?scale=down, (large)]\"><\/figure>\n<div class=\"mpu-inject hide-for-medium-up\">\n<div class=\"mpu-ad advert\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>But the centrepiece of the FKP Hommage\u2019s interior is the clock \u2013 a 43mm Audemars Piguet Royal Oak watch custom created for the car at the request of the owner. Bugatti wouldn\u2019t tell us how much but a quick search shows it\u2019s likely to be somewhere in the region of half a million pounds. Just for the clock\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Other noteworthy details include Ferdinand Piech\u2019s date of birth etched into the knee rest of the footwell, while the Veyron\u2019s renowned aluminium steering wheel has been retained.\u00a0<\/p>\n<div class=\"mpu-inject show-for-medium-up hide-for-xlarge-up\">\n<div class=\"mpu-ad advert\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/car-images.bauersecure.com\/wp-images\/246680\/480x0\/091-bugatti-fkp-hommage.jpg?scale=down\" alt class=\"wp-image-246704\" data-interchange=\"[https:\/\/car-images.bauersecure.com\/wp-images\/246680\/480x0\/091-bugatti-fkp-hommage.jpg?scale=down, (default)], [https:\/\/car-images.bauersecure.com\/wp-images\/246680\/720x0\/091-bugatti-fkp-hommage.jpg?scale=down, (medium)], [https:\/\/car-images.bauersecure.com\/wp-images\/246680\/1040x0\/091-bugatti-fkp-hommage.jpg?scale=down, (large)]\"><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p>Schmid adds: \u2018This is a remix. It\u2019s not the same but it\u2019s still the same. The Hommage doesn\u2019t make the Veyron look bad, they look really good together. To pull that off was equally difficult as coming up with an original design.\u2019<\/p>\n<div class=\"mpu-inject hide-for-medium-up\">\n<div class=\"mpu-ad advert\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How much does it cost and who owns it?<\/h2>\n<p>Good question, and one we can\u2019t answer. The fact it pays so much tribute to have Ferdinand Piech you might assume the idea came from his family, though Bugatti said the name of the car was an idea from them.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>We do know the car will be staying in Europe, though whether the owner is publicly announced remains to be seen. Bugatti Solitaire\u2019s first creation, the Brouillard, went to a well-known collector of the brand\u2019s models based in The Netherlands.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<aside class=\"about-author\">\n<h2 class=\"about-author-heading\">About the author<\/h2>\n<div class=\"about-author-inner\">\n<div class=\"main-author-summary-container\">\n\t\t\t<a class=\"main-author-image\" href=\"https:\/\/www.carmagazine.co.uk\/author\/ted-welford\/\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/car-images.bauersecure.com\/wp-images\/179402\/120x120\/ted_welford.jpg?quality=90)\"><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"main-author-name-container\">\n<div class=\"main-author-name\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carmagazine.co.uk\/author\/ted-welford\/\">Ted Welford<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"main-author-job-title\">New Cars Editor<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"main-author-byline\">New cars editor, car reviewer, news hound, avid car detailer<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/aside><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"column show-for-xlarge-up xlarge-2 xlarge-pull-10\">\n<figure class=\"author-info clearfix\">\n<p>\t\t\t<a class=\"author-image\" href=\"https:\/\/www.carmagazine.co.uk\/author\/ted-welford\/\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/car-images.bauersecure.com\/wp-images\/179402\/85x85\/ted_welford.jpg?quality=90)\"><\/a><figcaption>\n<p class=\"author-name\">\n\t\t\tBy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carmagazine.co.uk\/author\/ted-welford\/\">Ted Welford<\/a>\n\t\t<\/p>\n<p class=\"author-quote\">New cars editor for CAR and Parkers.
