If you thought the $25 million price tag for the 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO was jaw-dropping, there’s one more car that actually sold more than the iconic Ferrari.
The Bugatti 57 SC Atlantic Coupe.
Designed and built by Jean Bugatti with a goal of creating the ultimate high-speed grand touring car, the 57 SC Atlantic Coupe ended up being so much more than that. Only four of the this cars were made based on the "Aérolithe" concept car of 1935, which featured flowing coupe lines and a pronounced dorsal seam creating using Elektron and Duralumin for the body panels. Of the four models that were built, only two are still in existence today; the Williamson Bugatti which won the 2003 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance and one that is in Ralph Lauren’s private collection.
So how much exactly did this model sell at an auction last year? Try $30-40 million.
