The one-of-one creation was handed over to its owner at the French concours before winning Best of Show in the Concept-cars, restomods & one-offs class.
Bugatti chose one of France’s most elegant settings to mark an important moment in the story of its latest coachbuilt creation.
At the Château de Chantilly, the Bugatti Brouillard was officially handed over to its owner during Chantilly Arts & Elegance Richard Mille 2026. The one-of-one car is the first creation under Bugatti’s Programme Solitaire, which brings highly personalized coachbuilt cars to life around an individual customer vision.
The private handover took place inside the Dôme of the Great Stables, surrounded by the owner’s family and friends and the Bugatti team involved in creating the car.
Brouillard was later presented to the public as part of the Concept Class at the concours, where it went on to receive the ‘Best of Show Concept-cars, restomods & one-offs’ award.
The weekend also brought together a selection of Bugatti’s modern and historic cars. The marque showcased the Veyron La Maison Pur Sang 20 Years, Sur Mesure W16 Mistral ‘Le Retour de Jeune Prince’, W16 Mistral World Record Car and Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse World Record Car.
Three Veyron models and the Chiron Profilée also took part in a rally around Chantilly, while guests gathered for lunch at the Polo Club with Bugatti Managing Director Mate Rimac, Hendrik Malinowski and Director of Design Frank Heyl.
On the Château grounds, more than 700 collector cars formed part of the weekend’s celebrations, alongside garden-party activities including hot-air balloon rides, boat tours and horse-drawn carriages.
A link between generations
The Bugatti Parade brought Brouillard together with both modern and pre-war Bugatti models, creating a visual link between the brand’s historic racing heritage and its latest creations.
The historic line-up included the Type 39, Type 35, Type 35 A, Type 51, Type 13 Brescia, Type 37, Type 37 A and Type 40 Grand Sport. A 1925 Type 35 won the ‘Bugatti: Race Cars’ class.
For Bugatti, Brouillard represents a modern interpretation of the coachbuilding tradition established by Ettore Bugatti, combining bespoke design with the brand’s focus on engineering and performance.
“Programme Solitaire is founded upon the beautiful principle that creating a Bugatti carries a story, a legacy and an emotional connection unlike any other,” said Hendrik Malinowski, Managing Director of Bugatti.
The Chantilly weekend offered a fitting setting for that idea. Brouillard moved from a private handover to a public celebration of the car, culminating in its class victory as it was driven around Le Nôtre’s Water Mirrors.
