Bugatti’s next one-off hypercar could pay tribute to the Veyron

It has been twenty years since Bugatti started building new cars and launched the 1,000 hp Veyron 16.4 in 2005. Featuring a quad-turbocharged 8.0-liter W-16 engine that could reach speeds of 250 miles per hour, the Veyron redefined what was possible in a production vehicle. Now a special one-off from Bugatti will honor the original hypercar.

It’s the next creation of the company’s Program Solitaire, which is expected to debut on January 22, according to a new report from The Supercar Blog. The one-off will pay tribute to chassis number 001, which wears a two-tone red and black exterior and a shockingly understated beige interior.

The new car will likely have the same color scheme inside and out and wear unique body panels like the recently unveiled Brouillard. It will still ride on Bugatti’s W-16 platform and use the latest version of the W-16 engine, which can produce up to 1,800 horsepower.

This would be Program Solitaire’s second one-of-one after the Brouillard, which debuted last August. That car drew heavily on the Mitral, with similar lighting elements, and added a roof. It is unclear which Bugatti will support the next car.

Bugatti said it plans to build just two vehicles per year under its new Program Solitaire, an option on top of 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’re guessing the Brouillard cost more than $30 million, and the program’s second car will likely be just as expensive. If you ask Bugatti to make something special for you, it’s going to cost a lot.

If you had the money, what would you ask Bugatti to build for you?
