Introducing the Bugatti Brouillard, a unique hypercar making its appearance on the automotive scene.
Bugatti, the renowned luxury automobile manufacturer, has announced the launch of a new department - Programme Solitaire. This exclusive division specializes in creating ultra-exclusive, one-off hypercars, with a production limit of no more than two cars per year.
The first vehicle to emerge from this elite program is the Bugatti Brouillard, a unique hypercar named after Ettore Bugatti's favourite horse. The Brouillard is a testament to Bugatti's historical coachbuilding tradition, blending personalization and bespoke craftsmanship with cutting-edge design and engineering.
The Brouillard is built upon the body-in-white and powertrain of the Mistral, featuring Bugatti's advanced 8.0-liter quad-turbocharged W16 engine, capable of producing an impressive 1,578 horsepower and 1,180 lb-ft (1,600 Nm) of torque. Despite being a one-off, the car underwent a full development process, with engineering standards equivalent to a 100-unit model, including crash testing, aerodynamics, and safety compliance.
The Brouillard boasts a bespoke design that honours Bugatti's heritage while pushing boundaries in personalization and craftsmanship. It sports a two-tone finish that combines an unnamed shade of green with exposed carbon fiber. The interior features green and green-tinted carbon-fiber trim, with horse-themed embroidery on seat inserts and door panels.
The price range for these one-off hypercars is estimated to be around $10 million to $20+ million, reflecting their exclusivity and the extensive design, engineering, homologation, and manufacturing process involved. The exact cost of the Brouillard has not been revealed yet, but it is expected to be well north of the Mistral's starting price of $5 million.
Programme Solitaire represents Bugatti's highest level of bespoke design and engineering innovation, aiming to create timeless automotive masterpieces with no compromises on performance or quality. The Brouillard will make its public debut during Monterey Car Week.
