The most expensive car in the world is over

There are many historic and wonderful cars, and each of them has a certain history. But that of Bugatti Type 57 SC Atlantic it is unique, a story that is lost in the mists of time. Because unfortunately one of the four specimens was lost, and has not been found for years. No one knows where he is; and if anyone succeeds in finding it they will be a millionaire, just think that the copy, or rather the example of the 1930’s Bugatti was auctioned with a starting price of one million dollars.

Italian Ettore Bugatti he founded his car company in France in 1909, he had a lot of ideas, especially innovative, he made luxury cars that had an improved design, attractive and were also very fast, not only in the races that already existed at that time. After the crisis of ’29, the company was born to relaunch the company Type 57 Bugatti, which then sees a series of evolutions. Tipo 57 Ventoux, Tipo 57 Stelvio, Tipo Atalante were born and then came the Tipo 57 S Atlantic of which the Type 57 SC Atlantic was released at that time, a car that was built in only four examples.

Ralph Lauren is the owner of one of the rarest Atlantic Ocean examples of Bugatti’s Type 57 SC.

That 57 SC Atlantic has become a legend over time, to experts it is probably the most beautiful Bugatti ever. A car with an innovative design, even with extra wheel room and bodywork with real jewels, such as the ‘plug’ that extends from the radiator to the lower end of the car, as well as the so-called side window. it is shaped like a strange bean.

The car that Ettore Bugatti built with the help of his son, Jean, who died a few years later while testing a Bugatti on the circuit. The Atlantic SC 57 was the first ever supercar with an engine that could reach up to 210 km/h, a car that combined legal and revolutionary features with ‘Art Deco’ design, a design that combined elegance and high performance.

Only four examples were made. One today is owned by an American designer Ralph Lauren, the other is in a museum in California, sold at auction in 2010 for more than 30 million dollars – and which the collector Peter Williamson bought for 51 thousand dollars in the 1970s. Not much is known about the third sample, but it exists, then there is an example the fourth whose fate is unknown.

The Bugatti 57 SC Atlantic is one of the rarest and most unique cars ever produced in history.

The story of this fourth example is one of the stories that has grown over time. The only certainty is that The Bugatti Type 57 SC Atlantic is gone. Where were you? We don’t know. But there are many theories and conclusions: whoever finds it will have a treasure of great value in their hands: more than 130 million euros.

The model, lost, disappeared in the Bordeaux region in 1938. A year later the Second World War began and what was the fate of the Bugatti is a mystery and will remain so. There are those who maintain that the car was put on a ship and sent to who knows where, perhaps overseas, before the Nazis arrived in France, which caused great trouble for Ettore Bugatti himself. others say it was so well hidden that no one ever found it again. There are those who think it was a stolen Bugatti.

Since more than eighty years have passed, it is likely that whoever hid it, or perhaps stole it, is no longer around and may have taken the secret. The truth is that there is a Bugatti worth its weight in gold that can be hidden in every corner of the world.
