For quite some time, experts all
agree that the Bugatti 57 SC Atlantic Coupé belongs in
the most beautiful cars that were ever built. Its streamlined
body is a classic of engineering decorative art. Only three vehicles
of this fascinating sports car have been manufactured. In spite
of this, you can own such a beauty, albeit in the form of an exquisite
miniature. You will be surprised how it does justice the original.
The development of the Atlantic
Coupé was intellectually indebted to Ettore Bugatti's son,
Jean. Only 26 years old, he came up with a masterpiece that made
automobile history. What he presented was a design that had never
been seen before, and it outshined anything else. The car has
upheld its halo and fascination to this day. By the way, the dorsal
seam that goes from its wind shield to the rear end, is just a
style element. It`s reminiscent of the seam that held the two
body half of the prototype car "Aerolithe" together.
But not only the appearance of the
sports car caused a lot of attention. The Atlantic-Coupé
was one of the most powerful cars of its time in the world. The
3.3 litre 8-cylinder in-line-engine and two overhead cam shafts
became powered by a compressor. Approximately 200 hp accelerated
the car to sensational 200 km/h.
But how did the Atlantic received
his name? Well, it`s a common assumption that Jean Bugatti chose
this name to honor his adored sculptor and pilot Jean Mermoz.
He tried to cross the South-Atlantic in 1936 by plane and disappeared
without a trace.
Our original was the third and last
produced Atlantic, delivered in May 1938 to the English businessman
R.B. Pope. He kept the car for nearly 30 years. We spared no cost
and effort to find out and realize all single details of R.B.
Pope`s original car and transferred them to our model. Only a
person without any petrol it its blood could resist this phenomenal
replica. Words are just not enough to describe this beauty. Grant
yourself this extraordinary collector`s item of stable value and
explore its countless highlights.
