Bugatti’s coachbuilding programme is about to get another headline act.
The marque has confirmed an August 6 unveiling for its next one-off hypercar, giving collectors and design obsessives a fresh reason to watch Molsheim closely.
This new commission will become the third coachbuilt Bugatti created under the exclusive Solitaire programme, following the Brouillard and FKP Hommage.
At a glance
- Bugatti will unveil its next one-off hypercar on August 6.
- The teaser shows an aggressive front end with a pronounced horseshoe grille and flared fenders.
- It will be the third Solitaire coachbuilt Bugatti after the Brouillard and FKP Hommage.
A third chapter for Bugatti Solitaire
The Solitaire programme sits at the most rarefied end of Bugatti ownership, where a car is shaped as an individual commission rather than a series-production derivative.
After the Brouillard and FKP Hommage, this next project gives the programme a clearer rhythm and suggests Bugatti intends to keep coachbuilt one-offs as a visible part of its modern identity.
That matters because Bugatti’s recent history has been defined not just by speed, but by how far it can stretch a familiar set of mechanical ingredients into something singular.
A sharper face with Tourbillon and Bolide energy
The first official teaser focuses on the nose, and it’s enough to set a notably assertive tone.
The front appears to feature a more pronounced horseshoe grille, with wide, flared fenders pushing the stance toward something more muscular and track-biased.
Early design chatter points to a visual mix of Tourbillon and Bolide influences, which would make sense for a car positioned between Bugatti’s new design language and its most extreme circuit-focused expression.
If that balance carries through to the full car, expect something more dramatic than a subtle rebodied Chiron, but still unmistakably tied to the marque’s core proportions.
Chiron roots and W16 performance
Beneath the bespoke bodywork, the new one-off is expected to use the Chiron platform.
Power is also expected to come from Bugatti’s 8.0-litre quad-turbocharged W16, most likely in its highest 1,600 hp tune.
That would place the car firmly in the final, most potent era of Bugatti’s W16 story, even as the Tourbillon has already pointed the brand toward a new hybrid future.
For collectors, that combination is the essential appeal here: a unique body, a familiar engineering base, and one of the great combustion powertrains of the hypercar age.

Bugatti has built its modern legend on numbers, but its one-off cars are where narrative, patronage and design risk become just as important.
When the full car is revealed on August 6, the real question won’t simply be how fast it is, but how convincingly it turns the Chiron’s proven architecture into something that could only exist once.
