The world of hypercars is no stranger to surprises, but excitement always reaches new heights when BugattiUAE BugattiKSA BugattiKuwait BugattiQatar BugattiBahrain BugattiEgypt BugattiOman Bugatti is involved. Recently, fresh rumors have surfaced suggesting that Bugatti is about to unveil a unique special edition as a tribute to the legendary Veyron, the car that redefined what a supercar could be twenty years ago. Here’s a look at everything known so far about this anticipated icon, along with a closer look at the Veyron’s legacy that continues to inspire fans of performance and exclusivity.

Bugatti Solitaire: The Exclusive Program Makes Headlines

Last year, Bugatti launched its exclusive Solitaire program with the one off Brouillard, a unique creation inspired by the Mistral and powered by the mighty W16 engine. This program set new standards in the world of ultra exclusive cars and reaffirmed Bugatti’s commitment to delivering experiences that are truly one of a kind. The latest leaks indicate that Solitaire is gearing up to reveal a completely new model, serving as a tribute to the most influential car in Bugatti’s history, the Veyron.

The upcoming model is rumored to make its official debut on January 22, 2026, exactly twenty years after the first Veyron left the company’s factory in Molsheim. The design is expected to revisit the original Veyron 16.4 look, with a two tone red and black exterior, a beige interior, and striking aluminum accents, in an elegant homage to the car that astonished the world back in 2005.

Veyron’s Legacy: The Car That Redefined Speed and Luxury

When Bugatti unveiled the Veyron in 2005, the goal was to fulfill Ferdinand Piech’s vision by creating the world’s fastest production car without compromising on comfort, quality, or luxury. The results were historic:

• The Veyron was the first production car to reach nearly 1,000 horsepower

• Its top speed broke the 400 km/h barrier

• It delivered a unique driving experience that balanced explosive acceleration, unmatched stability, and advanced comfort features

• Despite its extreme performance, the car proved impressively reliable

Over a full decade, Bugatti produced 450 Veyron units in multiple variants, each setting new benchmarks for performance and engineering. Even after the arrival of the Chiron in 2016 and the Tourbillon in 2025, the Veyron remains the model that shaped the modern hypercar world.

Expected Details for the Upcoming Tribute Edition

Based on reports from industry insiders, the new tribute edition will likely be built on the Chiron’s platform, since Veyron production ended years ago and the Chiron uses the same 8.0 liter quad turbo W16 engine delivering up to 1,578 horsepower. However, some believe Bugatti might re-engineer an original Veyron chassis with modern upgrades, adding even more exclusivity to the project.

• The new car is expected to feature a design inspired by the Veyron’s classic lines

• Signature two tone red and black paintwork is anticipated

• The cabin should combine beige and aluminum accents for a premium feel

• It may use either the Chiron or an updated Veyron platform with enhanced engineering

• Solitaire program limits production to no more than two cars per year

• Pricing is expected to be at a truly exclusive level

Twentieth Anniversary Celebrations: A Unique Atmosphere in Molsheim

It was not only the rumors of a tribute edition that sparked excitement recently. Bugatti hosted a special celebration at its Molsheim headquarters to mark the twentieth anniversary of the Veyron during this year’s Soirée de Noël. The event featured the distribution of miniature red painted Veyron models to guests, while one of the brand’s designers sketched the iconic car directly onto the dinner table, highlighting the impact this model has had on the world of hypercars.

Looking Ahead: Will Official Details Emerge Soon?

So far, there are no official statements confirming or denying the news, but industry watchers expect an announcement or early previews on Bugatti’s social media channels in the near future. There is also a chance that CEO Mate Rimac could surprise fans with fresh details ahead of the expected reveal in January.
