    Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic

    Bugatti Veyron maybe a car with the most expensive production costs in the world. Because that, so Bugatti no longer produce it. But the Veyron has yet to beat her brother, 1936 Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic as the most expensive car in the world. Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic owned by Williamson family sold up to $30 million. This immediately shifts the sales record for 1957 Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa in the auction last year sold $12.2 million.

    This is a prototype model of the Atlantic, so it only produced three course units. For Body, this car is made using Duralumin, a special aluminum alloy. Although very sturdy and weighs only a third of the usual aluminum alloy, but Duralumin is very easy to burn.

    That’s why, when mass produced in 1936, Bugatti replace the material into a standard aluminum. Well, the exclusivity prototype version of Veyron Atlantic that makes hunted by collectors. Gooding & Company Said, “Atlantic is the most valuable car in the world to become a private collection, and almost never seen in the last four decades.”

    Atlantic Design based on Electron Coupe Aerolithe that appears in the 1935 Paris Motor Show. Jean Bugatti, son of founder Ettore Arco Isidoro Bugatti, designed it is car itself. He was drawing six images blueprints and merged into one. The Atlanctic’s body so long, forming drops of water. Kidney-shaped glass windows, with ovals doors.

    Many people believe that the Atlantic is the best work of Bugatti and the first supercar ever made.

    When you consider how much someone will spend on some paint and canvas, the car world seems fairly tame.

    I believe there was a Ferrari 250 GTO that sold last year over 18 million.

    One can still purchase a nice "driver", non-Atlantic, non-SC T57 for under 500k. Great cars...
