Art of the Classic Car

Many of them use contrasting colors to show off their bodylines, as
chassis number 57562’s yellow French curve accents the deep black
bodywork and encircles the car’s bubble-shaped roof. A split rear
window, teardrop-shaped side windows, and skirted rear wheels
add more allure to the distinctive shape of this Bugatti. Front and
center, of course, is Bugatti’s signature upright horseshoe grille.
The Type 57S chassis was victorious at the 1937 24 Hours
of Le Mans, and that performance pedigree carries over to the
Atalante. Its high-compression straight-eight engine produces 175
horsepower in a car weighing around 3,400 pounds. Bugatti also
produced a Type 57SC, which added a supercharger to produce 210
horsepower and a top speed of 130 mph.
