Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic

[netburner]

Here are some more pics of the Replica which is owned by Volkswagen.

I made them last Wednesday when I was in Wolfsburg/Germany in there Theme Park called "AutoStadt".

They have a little sign in front of the car (not in the pictures) where they wrote, that the car's chassis is from 1939 and the bodywork from the early 1990's...

And the last 4.

If you want to have a special pic of that car: I go there nearly every half a year and so I'm able to make some more pics if you want them (only of the bodywork, you're not allowed to open the cars).

Nice photos Netburner, just look at the interior in that thing. I'd imagine when Ettore Bugatti was planning to bring it out he knew it was going to be an instant classic.

timeless beauty.
this car is IMO one of the best looking cars of the century. if not THE best looking.

Ok, this car is not a "real" Bug, but we can help to it to imitate
Personally, I don't like its Passat style (before make-up) head lights, so this is my proposition (2 second Paint.exe)

The most recent showing of the Atlantic

These were taken at Dartmouth College at a small car show promoting the Formula SAE race car.

Its great to see these beautys actually driven instead of locked in someone's museum.

0-60 in ten seconds? That's damned fast for a car built in 1937!

I freakin' love this car and I had the privlege of seeing Ralph Lauren's at the Boston Art Museum over the summer!

Just as a point of clarification, the Lauren car did not win Best of Show at Pebble Beach in 2000. That honor went to Jacque Harguindeguy's 1937 Delahaye 135 M Figoni et Falaschi Cabriolet (see below). Ralph Lauren won Best of Show, his first of two, with the Bugatti Atlantic in 1990.

OK. we know that there's only 3 T57 which are "real"
So dou you have any information about this one?

The photo at the top right is the Peter Williamson Atlantic at the Bugatti featured theme Meadowbrook Concours in the 1990s. This was how it looked for most of its days since he purchased it in the 1960s before its recent restoration. The previous modifications were removed (headlight fairings, enlarged rear windows) and was restored to 1936 or 1938 condition (wheel covers, back to authentic metallic paint and other smaller details). At the time of the auction it was the highest price paid for an automobile (around $60,000).

Now the highest price at an auction is the same car at 30-40 million

welcome, the amount is more or less correct, but it was a private deal, not an auction.
