Man drops $20M on one of the most exclusive Bugattis ever made from the automaker's special new program

The first and only Bugatti Brouillard – one of the most exclusive Bugattis ever made – has been officially delivered to its owner.

For once, we know who the owner is, which is rare when it comes to vehicles of this caliber.

We also know the price, and it’s steep.

This is actually the most expensive Bugatti ever made.

The Brouillard is the first Programme Solitaire car

The Bugatti Brouillard was delivered at Château de Chantilly during the 2026 Arts & Elegance event.

This is an important car for two main reasons.

The first reason is that this was the first creation of the Programme Solitaire, Bugatti’s newest bespoke division, which allows customers to essentially build a one-off Bugatti from scratch.

Bugatti plans to build no more than two unique cars every year.

We’re not just talking about customized production Bugattis but exclusive Bugattis built from zero and based entirely around what the buyer wants.

The second reason is found under the hood.

The Bugatti Brouillard is, at least in theory, the last W16-engined Programme Solitaire Bugatti.

From now on, all new cars will feature the new V16 that the Tourbillon uses.

We said ‘in theory’ because this is a bespoke program for one-offs, and that’s a very niche market where money talks.

So while there won’t be another production W16 Bugatti, we shouldn’t completely rule out a new W16 one-off in the future.

Generally, the identity of the owner of a one-off hypercar is never revealed.

On this occasion, it was.

The buyer was Michel Perridon, who spent $20 million to add the Brouillard to what was already the largest privately-owned Bugatti collection in the world.

This is one of the most exclusive Bugattis

The Brouillard is about as exclusive as a car gets.

But it’s not the only one-off Bugatti.

Through the years, Bugatti has unveiled several hypercars limited to a few units or, in some cases, only one.

A great example is the Bugatti Centodieci, of which only 10 exist.

Including one that’s owned by Cristiano Ronaldo.

Then there are countless one-off variants of existing production cars.

The key difference between those and the Programme Solitaire cars, like the Brouillard or the Destrier, those aren’t built from scratch but based on production cars that already exist.

Last but certainly not least, we need to talk about the Bolide, of which only 40 were built.

Based on the Chiron, the Bolide is a track-only beast that costs a fortune – around $5 million.

But, compared to the $20 million Brouillard, $5 million is basically pocket change.
