Extremely grand tourer
AUCTION HERO
An action hero in its own story, this Bugatti Type 57 even helped its owner escape certain death. Simon de Burton is our narrator
The first high-profile car named for Artcurial’s Rétromobile auction in February was this Bugatti Type 57S Atalante
PETER SINGHOF
Jean Bugatti might have marketed the spectacular Type 57 Atalante as a ‘grand tourer’ but cars were cars back in 1936 and drivers often used them however they damned well pleased.
