Bugatti has unveiled its new masterpiece, the Brouillard, a one-of-a-kind hypercar that debuts its ultra-exclusive new programme called Solitaire. We all know Bugatti has a rich history of creating custom machines, but this time the brand has gone further to offer its loyal and wealthy collectors something truly unique and special. The name 'Brouillard' honours a cherished horse once owned by founder Ettore Bugatti, known for its speed, elegance, and athletic ability—qualities that are reflected in the car’s eye-catching design.
One-Off Bugatti Brouillard: Design
The Brouillard stands out with a smooth, flowing design that avoids the sharp angles typical of many modern hypercars. Instead, its shape is inspired by the powerful, graceful body of a well-trained horse, a tribute to Ettore Bugatti’s belief that beauty and strength go hand in hand, just like in his favorite horse. The car’s rich green paint is paired with a lower section made of green-tinted carbon fibre. This two-tone look follows the 'rule of thirds,' a classic art principle, to make the car appear longer, sleeker, and more balanced.
While the car is a unique, and one-off, its aesthetic is deeply rooted in Bugatti's DNA. The Brouillard's headlights are a direct callback to those of the Mistral roadster, while the recognisable horseshoe grille and the C-shaped side detail, inspired by Ettore Bugatti’s signature, clearly connect the car to the brand’s heritage. The rear features a duo of vertically stacked exhaust tips placed just below eye-catching, holographic V-shaped taillights.
One-Off Bugatti Brouillard: What's Under the Hood?
At the heart of the Brouillard is the 8.0-litre quad-turbo W16, unleashing a whopping 1,578bhp. The car’s aerodynamic elements are flawlessly integrated into its sculpted body, featuring a fixed ducktail spoiler and a highly engineered rear diffuser, representing the final evolution of the W16 platform’s performance potential.
One-Off Bugatti Brouillard: Interior
The Brouillard’s interior pays tribute to Ettore’s beloved horse through exquisite craftsmanship and thoughtful design. It exudes a luxurious vibe with custom Parisian fabrics, green carbon fibre accents, and finely machined aluminium. There are embroidered horse motifs on the door panels and seats. Meanwhile, the gear shifter (machined from a solid block of aluminium) features a miniature glass-encased sculpture of the original Brouillard.
