2. 1937 Bugatti Type 57S Atalante:
Recently, a rare 1937 Bugatti was found in an English garage. The car is so rare it fetched $4.7 million at auction on February 7, 2009 at a motor show in Paris. It hasn’t been used since 1960. Back then, it had the ability to reach 13o mph when most cars were topping off at 50 mph.
The Type 57S/SC is one of the best-known Bugatti cars. The “S” stood for “surbaissé” (“lowered”), though most felt it stood for “sport”. It included a v-shaped dip at the bottom of the radiator and mesh grills on either side of the engine compartment. Lowering the car was a major undertaking. The rear axle now passed through the rear frame rather than riding under it, and a dry-sump lubrication system was required to fit the engine under the new low hood.
Just 43 “surbaissé” cars were built.
