Here's one of the neatest cars I can think of ! Big Grin I'd love to have one but only a few exist .This one went for $30-40 million in a recent private auction !

The Atlantic is a great car!
It was designed by Ettore Bugatti's son. The body was intended to be made from magnesium, that is why the fenders and body have the riveted flange down the centers but in the end they were made of aluminum.
Not sure of the $30-$40M price, I think more like $20M probably but I haven't been following them that much anymore.
Bugattis are cars that must be seen in the flesh to be really appreciated. Every part, every line is the automobile as an art form.

I agree with Huvius.

Every (original Wink ) Bugatti ever built simply oozes their own particular mix of elegance and style....... they might not be everyone's cup of tea but they are always real headturners.

I appreciate the Volksgatti still carries the original name and is a head turner in it's own way but I can't bring myself to classify it as a proper Bugatti.

Kinda reminds me of a Talbot-Lago.
