• Bugatti’s Programme Solitaire lets elite clients commission one-off hypercars from scratch.
  • The Brouillard uses Bugatti’s older W16 chassis with 1,578 hp and unique bespoke design.
  • Only two ultra-exclusive custom builds will be created each year under the new program.

Bugatti may have entered a new chapter with the hybrid Tourbillon, but it’s not quite ready to close the book on its legendary W16 engine. The automaker’s latest one-off creation, called the Brouillard, draws power from the same quad-turbocharged 8.0-liter W16 that defined the now-retired Chiron.

This unique build is also the first to come out of Bugatti’s new Programme Solitaire coachbuilt program, and it pays tribute to Ettore Bugatti’s favorite horse.

Commissioned by Dutch entrepreneur Michel Perridon, who happens to own the largest private Bugatti collection in the world, the Brouillard is a striking blend of legacy engineering and bespoke craftsmanship. At a first glance, it might resemble a coupe version of the limited-run W16 Mistral, but a closer inspection reveals that nearly every panel is uniquely tailored.

At the front, the Brouillard has a sculpted bumper with a wide horseshoe grille, and fender-mounted LED headlights with extra cooling intakes. The profile has the characteristic C-shaped openings behind the greenhouse and big chunks of carbon fiber trim contrasting with the vibrant green shade.

The rear fenders flare aggressively, flowing into a custom rear deck that incorporates a roof scoop. At the back, an integrated wing is neatly blended into the tail design, contributing to both downforce and visual drama.
