Bugatti has entered a new era with its hybrid Tourbillon model, but the brand isn’t ready to close the chapter on its legendary W16 engine. The French marque’s latest one-off creation, named the Brouillard, utilizes the same 8.0-liter quad-turbo W16 engine that powered the now-discontinued Chiron.
This unique vehicle is also the first under Bugatti’s new Programme Solitaire, and it pays homage to Ettore Bugatti’s favorite racehorse. The car will make its public debut at Monterey Car Week in California, with more one-of-a-kind Bugattis to follow.
Get Up Close With the One-Off Bugatti Brouillard
Commissioned by Dutch entrepreneur Michel Perridon, who owns the world’s largest private collection of Bugatti vehicles along with Carlo Bugatti furniture and Rembrandt Bugatti sculptures, the Brouillard is an impressive blend of traditional craftsmanship and bespoke tailoring.
Design
At first glance, it may resemble the coupe version of the limited-edition W16 Mistral roadster, but upon closer inspection, almost every detail has been uniquely designed. Up front, the Brouillard features a delicately sculpted bumper with a wide horseshoe grille, LED headlights mounted on the fenders, and additional cooling vents.
The design is accentuated by distinctive C-shaped cutouts behind the windshield and large carbon fiber panels contrasting with a vibrant green hue. The rear diffuser flares out dramatically, blending into the custom-designed rear end, which incorporates roof-mounted air intakes.
At the rear, an integrated duck tail spoiler contributes to both downforce and visual appeal. The X-shaped LED taillights appear to be borrowed from the W16 Mistral, while the quad-exhaust tips on the rear diffuser resemble those of the Chiron Super Sport.
Interior
Inside, the Brouillard retains the overall design of the Chiron’s interior but with extensive customization. A green color scheme dominates, featuring custom-woven tartan fabric from Paris, green carbon fiber, and a combination of leather and machined aluminum.
A standout feature is the handcrafted Brouillard horse statue, encased in glass and mounted on the aluminum gearshift lever. The horse motif is also embroidered on the door panels and seat backs, reinforcing the significance of the horse in the car’s name.
Powertrain
The Brouillard is built on the same carbon fiber and aluminum chassis as the Chiron, which is also used for the Divo, La Voiture Noire, Centodieci, W16 Mistral, and track-only Bolide. Of course, it’s powered by the most potent version of the 8.0-liter quad-turbo W16 engine, producing a staggering 1,578 horsepower.
While the Brouillard is unique, it’s just the beginning of the new Programme Solitaire. This program takes personalization to a new level beyond the current Bugatti Sur Mesure program, creating one-of-a-kind vehicles for a select few with deep pockets.
The company states that the program “will create a maximum of two masterpieces” per year, ensuring each creation receives the attention and craftsmanship it deserves. True to the brand’s coachbuilding heritage, these unique vehicles will utilize existing Bugatti powertrains and chassis.
This truly limits your options to Chiron- or Tourbillon-based hypercars, with distinct exterior and interior designs.
Hendrik Malinowski, Managing Director of Bugatti, commented: “The Solitaire program allows us to authentically explore our customers’ unique visions, offering greater flexibility in interpreting Bugatti’s longstanding design elements. With these one-offs, we have more freedom to reimagine Bugatti, while remaining absolutely committed to perfection in every detail; there will be no compromise on performance, quality, or design. Each precious Solitaire will be singular and unparalleled, delivering a level of meticulousness in every detail that even the most exclusive automotive creations cannot match.”
