In the heart of Molsheim, where tradition and innovation are masterfully intertwined, Bugatti presents the Programme Solitaire , an exclusive project aimed at creating unique automobiles, true works of art on wheels. Its first creation, the Brouillard , pays tribute to one of Ettore Bugatti's most personal ties: his favorite horse. This majestic thoroughbred, with a coat as white as the first snowfall and shades evoking the morning mist, inspired a coupé with organic lines, perfect proportions, and uncompromising power.
“1,600-horsepower quad-turbo W16. Inspired by Ettore Bugatti's favorite horse, Brouillard. Only two creations per year. Sculptural surfaces, a panoramic glass roof, and interior details in Parisian tartan, green carbon fiber, and machined aluminum. Automotive haute couture at its finest.”
Built on the 1,600-horsepower W16 platform—the culmination of nearly two decades of technical refinement—the Brouillard fuses elite engineering and sculptural aesthetics. Every surface reflects the strength and elegance of a flexing muscle, concealing complexity beneath understated simplicity. Aerodynamic elements, such as the subtle ducktail rear wing and optimized diffuser, not only enhance performance but also reinforce its sleek and powerful silhouette.
The interior, a testament to craftsmanship, combines tartan fabrics crafted in Paris with green-tinted carbon fiber and machined aluminum components. The glass roof floods the cabin with light, while the iconic central spine flows in from the exterior. Details such as equestrian embroidery on the panels and seats, as well as a gearshift crowned by a miniature sculpture by Brouillard himself, underscore its automotive haute couture character.
Commissioned by a passionate Bugatti collector, the Brouillard brings together the legacy of the Bugatti family in a single object: Ettore's engineering, Carlo's artistic vision, and Rembrandt's sculptures. Each year, the Programme Solitaire will bring to life a maximum of two masterpieces, ensuring that each receives the utmost attention and perfection that a true icon demands.
