The Breakdown
- Bugatti will allegedly reveal a new one-off car this month.
- It’ll pay homage to the original Veyron 16.4 chassis no. 001.
- It’ll be its Programme Solitaire’s second car after the Brouillard.
It’s been 20 years since Bugatti began building new cars, launching the 1,000-horsepower Veyron 16.4 in 2005. Capable of reaching 253 miles per hour with its quad-turbocharged 8.0-liter W-16 engine, the Veyron redefined what was possible in a production vehicle. Now a special one-off from Bugatti will allegedly honor the original hypercar.
It’s the next creation from the company’s Programme Solitaire, which will supposedly debut on January 22, according to a new report from The Supercar Blog. The one-off will pay homage to chassis number 001, which wears a two-tone red-and-black exterior and a shockingly subdued beige interior.
The new car will likely feature the same color scheme inside and out, and like the recently unveiled Brouillard, wear unique body panels. It’ll still ride on Bugatti’s W-16 platform, utilizing the latest iteration of the W-16 engine, which can produce up to 1,800 hp.
This would be Programme Solitaire’s second one-of-one after the Brouillard, which debuted last August. That car drew heavily on the Mitral, featuring similar lighting elements, and added a roof. It’s unclear which Bugatti will underpin the next car.
Bugatti said it plans to build just two vehicles per year under its new Programme Solitaire, which is an option above the company’s Sur Mesure personalization offering. The high-end hypercar company, like others, has expanded its one-off and personalization programs in recent years, giving customers new ways to spend even more money.
We guessed that the Brouillard cost over $30 million, and the program’s second car will likely be just as expensive. When you’re asking Bugatti to make you something special, it’s going to cost a lot.
If you had the cash, what would you ask Bugatti to build you?
