Type 57 Bugattis are some of the most stunning cars you can ever see. The pictures don't do justice. I've seen like three or four at a museum, and they are absolutely stunning. Subzero. It's pricey for a reason. Maybe not a good one, but still.

How can this technical and architectural masterpiece not be cool?
To apply some Clarkson logic; a footballer will never drive one, so it's cool!
Ettore Bugatti's family was full of artists and architects, and it shows on his cars. Even the engines look like sculptures.
I have seen a 57 once; with a different body than shown on this picture, and it's a very imposing car.

One of the most beautiful and technically-advanced pieces of rolling sculpture from that era. They're absolutely stunning.

The car in the pic is a 57SC Atlantic and not a Stelvio DHC. Stelvios were made in three different factory designs during the 57's lifetime and were not built on the 57S's lowered chassis.

Both are of course the epitome of coolness. There is no uncool vintage Bugatti.

Subzero.
