bugatti 57sc
An icon of classic cars, and probably the most beautiful car ever produced. It was designed by Jean Bugatti. Jean was son of Ettore, the founder of Bugatti. Jean designed the body for this beautiful car, and modified 3257 cc from Type 49 heavily, to create a perfect harmony of power and elegance. Through its period of production (1934 – 1940) the car was built in many different versions, but there very only two basic variants: the original Bugatti 57, and lowered Bugatty 57S. Those were the platforms out of which the champions were built. Type 57C Tank swept away its competition in 1936 and 1937, winning the French Grand Prix, and 24 Hours of Le Mans. It used larger, 4743cc, engine that left others in dust. Later on, there was a Tank version of 57SC that took another Le Mans, but this story ended tragically. Jean took the car that won the race to a test drive and died when he crushed trying to avoid drunken bicyclist on a closed road.
A total of 710 original Bugatti 57 were produced and it was more than enough to get this car a spot in history. It's popularity grew day by day, and now it is known as most expensive car bought on auction, and as a most expensive used car ever bought.
Proud owners of this oldies can now enjoy driving a car that is more than seventy years old and still is capable of going more than 100 mph. That is a feat that is hard to match for many cars that are fifty years younger than this beauty. And the smile that it puts on everyone's face is just priceless. Jean did his part in creating a history, and now it is our time to preserve that legacy he gave us to enjoy. Thank you Jean, and rest in peace!
