Designed by Jean Bugatti, the son of company founder Ettore Bugatti, the line of the Bugatti 57 SC is a sight to behold. Its elegant and aerodynamic shape earned the vehicle its cult status. The 57 SC Atalante was the faster version of the 57 model, with the "SC" standing for "Surbaissé" and "Compresseur" referring to the lowered frame and compressor.
