Bugatti Veyron Tribute by "Solitaire"

[Jonathan19]

Bugatti is preparing a new "Solitaire" one-off as a tribute to the Veyron, the car that defined the modern era of the brand.

Rumors :

- The car is scheduled to be officially revealed on January 22, 2026.
- Will feature the legendary 8.0L W16 quad-turbo engine, specifically the 1,600 hp iteration.
- The car is rumored to be Red and Black two-tone paint scheme, like the classic Bugatti configuration that famously debuted on the original Veyron 16.4.

I would like to thank the multiple sources that provided me with these details and authorised me to share them with this forum.

Awesome amazing

I wonder whether an existing customer used their existing car as a donor.

Hah! They seemingly found a spare engine and chassis!

Seriously, what will be the last W16 powered Bugatti? It’s almost turning into another Zonda situation.

Veyron > Chiron > Tourbillon

The Solitaire programme has many plans in the pipeline, and I think that as long as the Tourbillon is not in full production, we can expect other W16 One-Offs from this programme. Another Solitaire is expected in 2026 in addition to this one.

We'll wait until the first one is unveiled before saying anything about the second one. ^^

Agree, while I was never a fan of the Veyron while it was in production, and liked the Chiron more, today I see it as one of the best looking, most epic hypercars in car history, up there with the Zonda, true classics.

I hope Bugatti sort out the wheel and tire situation, otherwise many of these cars will never get used as intended.

Its just a rip off, I'm sure the fastest car in the world BYD doesn't use 30k tires.

That thing is a death trap.
The car looked highly unstable and all around dangerous even at 300 km/h

Yeah, pretty much the same here. Although I've always been a fan of the Veyron, it's aging like the best. Has to be a facelift though because I don't like the OG headlights

It’s almost turning into another Zonda situation.

The unwritten rule of serving the 0.001% is to soid saying no.

Many of the crazy hardware in pagani and Koenigsegg are driven by customers drunk calling Horachio and Christian in the evening with wild demands without asking for a quote.

This might not be the last ever Zonda. Alternatively they could convert an existing car into a new variant ther does not bare the Zonds name.

Bugatti has just confirmed that the new One-Off will be unveiled this month.

"Unveiled at Monterey Car Week, Brouillard marks the beginning of an exclusive journey. The program’s second creation will be revealed this month."

Is this a brand new car or a restomod of an existing vehicle? I hope they have fixed the wheel problem, I just watched the Mark McCann video, he's looking at buying one, the wheels and tires are an outrageous expense.

I think its a brand new car, I don’t think they’re taking old chassises and redoing them.

It will be completely new, using the chassis and engine of a Chiron as a basis (like the Brouillard).

Today, most hypercars should be looked at like small private jets. Their maintenance costs are comparable.

Chiron tyres are old technology but are designed for the car. There is no incentive for Bugatti to R&D new tyres with Pirelli unless owners are willing to absorb the cost of the R&D and rigerous testing up to 400km/h.
