Bugatti's Solitaire One-Off Teased Ahead of August 7 Debut

This Genesis GV90 development mule is wearing production bodywork, and it's very similar to the concept that foreshadowed this luxury SUV. Bugatti has teased its next creation — and it's not just another hypercar. Set for full debut on August 7, the car is named Solitaire, and it marks the beginning of a new coachbuilt program designed around one‑of‑one commissions. It's Bugatti's way of blending tradition with next-level personalization, and it's already being described as a spiritual successor to the legendary Type 57 SC Atlantic. At first glance, Solitaire looks to be based loosely on the Tourbillon. But this isn't a rework or a spec tweak. The French marque calls it 'a celebration of grace and elegance,' with visuals that suggest a more dramatic silhouette, an exaggerated horseshoe grille, and intricate carbon-fiber detailing. Oops! We're unable to load this content right now. View directly on Instagram Bugatti's Tourbillon hypercar has only just begun its global test program — and that's a car with 1,775 horsepower and an all-new naturally aspirated V16 hybrid powertrain. Yet this coachbuilt one-off is being positioned as something altogether different: a design object first, a speed machine second. Coachbuilding, The Bugatti Way This isn't a concept or a styling exercise. It's the first of a new program of hand-built, one-off Bugattis, crafted entirely around individual customers. The initial Solitaire commission is reportedly for Dutch billionaire Michel Perridon — a known collector of historic Bugattis, EB110s, and Chirons that forms part of The Perridon Collection. It's expected to signal a series of upcoming models each rooted in unique inspiration, historical reference points, and near-limitless personalization. Behind the scenes, this ultra-limited program will be shaped by Bugatti's newly expanded Molsheim atelier, the glass-and-steel sanctuary where the Tourbillon will be produced. The upgraded facility doubles production capacity and blends seamlessly into the Alsace landscape, reinforcing Bugatti's obsession with craftsmanship, precision, and presence. Standards No One Else Can Match What makes Bugatti's bespoke ambitions so believable is the company's reputation for ruthless attention to detail. A recent example: if a $5 million Mistral isn't perfect, Bugatti will tear it apart and rebuild it. The idea of handing this level of scrutiny over to a one-off program like Solitaire is borderline absurd — but that's the point. For the kind of collectors Bugatti is courting, it's not about performance figures. It's about singularity. That said, performance won't be neglected. While Bugatti hasn't revealed what powers the Solitaire, signs point toward the new Tourbillon V16 platform rather than the outgoing W16. If true, this car won't just be visually spectacular — it will be monumentally fast. Autoblog Newsletter Autoblog brings you car news; expert reviews and exciting pictures and video.

Bugatti isn't just showing a car — it's laying out a roadmap for what hypercars can be in the post-combustion era. For a company steeped in heritage, this is less about legacy and more about relevance. It shows Bugatti doesn't just build cars. It curates them. One billionaire at a time.

Can't wait for the Range Rover EV? Maybe this striking new Genesis takes your fancy...
Genesis is ramping up to launch a new electric luxury SUV to rival the electric Range Rover EV and Volvo EX90. The GV90 is effectively Genesis's take on the Kia EV9 and Hyundai Ioniq 9, sharing its fundamental platform and innards with those family-focused seven-seaters, but applying a premium sheen. As prototypes hit the Nürburgring in preparation for a 2026 launch, it is clear just how loyal the GV90 remains to the design of the imposing Neon concept Genesis revealed last year. Naturally, the reverse-opening rear doors are unlikely to make it to showrooms – as are the hardwood floor, rotating front seats and enormous pop-out infotainment screen – but the Neolun's imposing, monolithic silhouette is headed to showrooms unaltered, along with the distinctive twin wraparound LED light bars at each end - a Genesis hallmark. Given it will be closely related to the EV9 and Ioniq 9, the GV90 is highly likely to also be offered with three rows of seats, though in keeping with Genesis's premium billing, it's likely to come exclusively with the roomier six-seat arrangement, with a rotating middle row to facilitate a more social layout. Genesis has yet to confirm any details about the GV90, but the fact that it's testing at the 'Ring suggests it is planning to launch the flagship in Europe, where it will be one of the largest electric cars on sale, broadly matching its platform-mates at just over five metres long and nearly two metres wide. It will effectively serve as an electric replacement for the short-lived, ICE-powered GV80, which was only sold in the UK for three years before being pulled from showrooms, having sold around 200 examples. Allowing for slight variations in power output and efficiency figures, the GV90's specification is expected to roughly match the Kia and Hyundai. The Kia has a 95kWh battery that's good for a maximum of 349 miles of range in the most efficient variant, while the Hyundai's larger 110kWh pack bumps that up to 385 miles. Both of those cars offer the choice between rear- and all-wheel-drive powertrains, topping out at 501bhp in the recently revealed Kia EV9 GT - which could provide the basis for a performance-focused version of the GV90 under Genesis's new sporting brand Magma. Irrespective of battery capacity and power, the GV90 will be officially capable of charging at speeds of up to 350kW. Further details of Genesis's plans for the GV90 will be revealed as the market launch approaches, but naturally it will command a premium over its more mainstream-focused cousins.

2026 Genesis GV90: Flagship electric SUV spied
The Genesis GV90, the luxury brand's upcoming flagship crossover, has been spotted doing some hot laps around the Nurburgring. Although the prototype is clad head to toe in camouflage, we can clearly see the overall design is based heavily on the Neolun concept (pictured at the bottom), which was revealed at the 2024 New York motor show. Practically the only gaps in the camouflage are for small slits at both ends of the car. Out of these peek the brand's signature twin-line lighting elements. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. At the front, the bottom line of lights seem to dip as it approaches the middle of the car, creating a V-shaped faux grille display. Along the side the upper line traces the lower edge of the clamshell bonnet all the way to rear of the front fender. While the concept had reverse-hinged rear doors and a B-pillar-free design for easy ingress and egress, the production car sticks with a traditional door layout. The rear doors are significantly larger than those at the front, which when combined the long rear overhang hints at the car's size. Although the concept had seating for just four people, the production car will likely be offered with three rows of seats. Given the rise in popularity of luxury four-seat people movers, such as the Lexus LM and Buick GL8 Century, we certainly can't rule out the possibility of a four-seat version — it would certainly give the car more differentiation from its platform-mates, as well as external competitors, such as the BMW X7 and Mercedes-Benz GLS. The GV90 is thought to ride on Hyundai's all-electric E-GMP architecture, making it a relative of the Hyundai Ioniq 9 and Kia EV9. Both the Ioniq 9 and EV9 measure a smidge over five metres in length, and ride on a wheelbase around 3.1m long. The top-spec Ioniq 9 has dual-motor all-wheel drive layout making a total of 320kW and 700Nm, and is capable of ripping through the 0-100km/h standard in 5.2 seconds. Battery capacity currently maxes out at 110kWh, while charging speeds up to 350kW are supported. Obviously there's no word yet on pricing for the GV90, but it would be above both the Kia and Hyundai. The EV9 currently tops out at around $110,000, and the Ioniq 9 is expected go beyond that as it has a larger battery pack. The production version of the GV90 was initially set to be launched at the end of 2025, but the latest rumours indicate the car has been delayed slightly.
