Starting in 1934, Bugatti managed to build around 800 Type 57s in various configurations. The chassis was rather successful by high-end pre-war standards. Yet its most famous evolutions, the Aérolithe prototype and the following Atlantic Coupés just couldn't find customers.
Supposedly made of an aviation-grade alloy of magnesium and aluminum called Elektron, the 1935 Aérolithe was designed by Ettore's son Jean, with a body that had to be riveted due to the difficulty of welding magnesium. After being on tour in England, the show car disappeared, while Bugatti went on to build just four production Type 57 Atlantics, out of plain aluminum.
Three of these luxury coupes went to customers, while "La Voiture Noire," the first black Atlantic was created for Jean Bugatti himself. Unfortunately, there has been no trace of this car since 1938.
The second Atlantic, chassis #57374, built in 1936, went to British banker Victor Rothschild. Today, this light blue car is part of the Mullin Automotive Museum's amazing collection. The third Atlantic, also black, chassis #57473 got destroyed when hit by a train in 1955, while the only 1938 Atlantic, the originally blue #57591, is now part of the Ralph Lauren collection.

The Atlantic (design no. 1076bis) is a further development of the previously described single Aérolithe. The model name refers to the first crossing of the South Atlantic with an airplane by the mail pilot Jean Mermoz (1901-1936). He was friends with Jean Bugatti and went missing with his crew on another South American flight. [50] Only four Atlantic were built, two were preserved and a small number were subsequently converted from other Type 57 (recreation). [21] [47]
The differences to the Aérolithe are not noticeable, but large enough to be able to identify the only four actually realized vehicles. The exotic electron was not used in the choice of material. The most obvious difference to the Aérolithe is the front design. For the Aérolithe, Bugatti used the typical “horseshoe” radiator of the Series 1, while the Atlantic received the front end of the Type 57 S with a lower radiator and, consequently, a lower bonnet. This can be seen from the front fenders, which on the Aérolithe are clearly dominated by the bonnet, which on the Atlantic runs almost the same height. Another difference can be found at the rear, which on the Aérolithe is slightly more bulbous. The headlight housings, which have been changed compared to the Aérolithe and are mounted slightly higher, are also noticeable. Only the first two Atlantic were delivered with headlights integrated into the fenders. The other two received free-standing headlight housings. The first Atlantic was subsequently converted to it. The three chrome strips on the side of the Aérolithe's bonnet are not found on the Atlantic, and its air vents are also shaped differently. [49]
Two Atlantic are largely original; a third (no. 57473) received a reconstructed body after an accident.

Der Atlantic (Design Nr. 1076bis) ist eine Weiterentwicklung des zuvor beschriebenen Einzelstücks Aérolithe. Der Modellname bezieht sich auf die erste Überquerung des Südatlantiks mit einem Flugzeug durch den Postflieger Jean Mermoz (1901–1936). Dieser war mit Jean Bugatti befreundet und ist mit seiner Crew bei einem anderen Südamerikaflug verschollen.[50] Nur vier Atlantic wurden gebaut, zwei blieben erhalten und eine kleine Zahl wurde nachträglich aus anderen Type 57 umgebaut (Rekreationen).[21][47]
Die Unterschiede zum Aérolithe sind nicht auffällig, aber groß genug um die nur vier tatsächlich realisierten Fahrzeuge identifizieren zu können. Bei der Materialwahl wurde auf das exotische Elektron verzichtet. Der augenfälligste Unterschied zum Aérolithe ist die Frontgestaltung. Bugatti verwendete für den Aérolithe den typischen „Hufeisen“-Kühler der Serie 1, die Atlantic erhielten den Vorbau des Type 57 S mit tiefer gesetztem Kühler und demzufolge niedrigerer Motorhaube. Das lässt sich gut an den vorderen Kotflügeln erkennen, die beim Aérolithe deutlich von der Motorhaube überragt werden, die beim Atlantic fast gleich hoch verläuft. Ein anderer Unterschied findet sich am Heck, das beim Aérolithe etwas bauchiger ausfällt. Weiter fallen die gegenüber dem Aérolithe geänderten und etwas höher angebrachten Scheinwerfergehäuse auf. Nur die ersten beiden Atlantic wurden mit in den Kotflügeln integrierten Scheinwerfern ausgeliefert. Die anderen beiden erhielten freistehende Scheinwerfergehäuse. Der erste Atlantic wurde nachträglich darauf umgebaut. Die drei Chromstreifen seitlich an der Motorhaube des Aérolithe finden sich nicht am Atlantic, dessen Luftöffnungen sind überdies anders geformt.[49]
Zwei Atlantic sind weitgehend original erhalten; ein dritter (Nr. 57473) erhielt nach einem Unfall eine rekonstruierte Karosserie.
► Deuxième Atlantic construite, vendue à la famille Holzschuch puis revendue peu de temps après.
► En 1955 son nouvel acheteur, René Chatard, se tue à son volant (en compagnie d'une de ses maitresses) lors d'une collision avec un train.
► Le châssis abimé est resté pendant une dizaine d'années en gare de Gien.
► Dans les années 60, elle devient propriété de Paul André Berson qui passe dix ans à recréer la voiture puis la revend à Nicolas Seydoux.
► Dans les années 2000 elle est restaurée par Paul Russel.

Bugatti Type 57S Atlantic 1936 - Retromobile 2011
Le clou du spectacle était une Bugatti 57S Atlantic, chassis n°57473, dont l'histoire a été mouvementée et qui est jugée par beaucoup comme une des plus emblématiques. La voiture est livrée à son premier propriétaire en 1936 en couleur noire. Après avoir connu différents propriétaires, elle réapparait en 1951 légèrement modifiée, notamment du côté de la face avant et dans une livrée grise. Puis, la voiture est presque totalement détruite en 1955 sur un passage à niveau. Elle est gardée pendant une dizaine d'années par la SNCF pour les besoins de l'enquête puisque les occupants de la voiture ont trouvés la mort dans cet accident. Des collectionneurs l'ont ensuite restauré par étape successive jusqu'en 2006, date à laquelle son nouveau propriétaire européen décide de compléter sa restauration en confiant cette tâche à Paul Russel qui avait déjà restauré la Type 57 de Ralph Lauren et qui va utiliser pour l'occasion des pièces d'origine délaissées dans les années 1960. Cette dernière restauration remet la Bugatti n°57473 dans son état d'origine avant l'accident tragique.

Chassis: N°57473, ex Holzschuch/Chatard/Seydoux.
The third of what is now belived to have been four Type 57 S Atlantic (and the first to be called Atlantic) built by Bugatti in the late thirties had been in the Seydoux collection in Paris since 1974. This important car became part of a significant Europen collection in 2006. With the help of several marque experts, co-ordinated by Lukas Huni AG, 57473 was restored from 2007 to 2010. Having been the victim of the famous train accident in 1955, this car has lost part of its originality.
Originally owned by Jacques Holzschuch until 1952, 57473 won the Grand Prix d'Honneur Concours d'Elégance Juan-les-Pins and -between 1939 and 1946- was modified, probably by Figoni, with incorporated headlamps, different rear wing treatment and a re-styled interior. After Jacques Holzschuch, 57473 was acquired in 1952 by Antoine René Chatard, a comitted Bugatti enthusiast who had the car registered in the name of his mistress Béatrice Schneider. On 22.08.1955, accompanied by another lady friend Janine Vacheron, 57473 suffered the well-documented accident on the unguarded railway crossing near Gien, causing major damage to the car, and killing Chatard and miss Vacheron instantly. The remains of the car were sequestered by the railway company and held for over 8 years, until the lawsuit was settled. Bugatti enthusiast Paul-André Berson of Montargis knew of the existence of the Atlantic with the SNCF and over several years managed to retrieve chassis and all other parts. He embarked on a long restoration and sold the finished car to Nicolas Seydoux in 1977.
When Berson restored 57473 1968-1976, he used as much as he could of the damaged chassis, the original bonnet and many of the original body panels from the less damaged right hand side of the car. A number of body parts that Berson had found too difficult to repair (the scuttle, the left rear wing, part of the left side of the roof, part of the passenger door and various parts of the wooden frame), as well as the damaged original engine and gearbox (Berson installed engine and gearbox from 57645) remained stored in Berson's roof after Seydoux had proven uninterested in these parts. Berson later started building a replica Atlantic with a new chassis, but significantly did not incorporate any of the original parts from 57473.
Nicolas Seydoux was not satisfied with the quality of the Berson restoration (e.g. the doors did not close properly) and took the car to Paris restorer André Lecoq, who persuaded Mr.Seydoux in 1977 to restore the car for a second time.
With the help of Jean Sage and Antoine Raffaelli, all original parts from 57473 and Berson's unfinished replica were purchased from Berson. The replica (on which no original Bugatti parts were installed) was discarded, and the orginal parts were re-united with 57473.
Historian Christian Huet concluded after much study that the styling changes on coachwork and interior had been carried out by Figoni. Two major decisions had to be taken by the new owner when planning the restoration of 57473:
1-it was decided to restore the car to the point in time directly preceeding the train accident in 1955, to its Grey exterior coulour as found on the original body, including the Figoni styling changes.
2-the decided goal of the restoration was to bring the car back to full stability, full working order and original Atlantic performance, incorporating as many of the original parts as possible.
The obvious choice for the restoration was for Paul Russell of Boston -one of the experts on the Bugatti Atlantic, given his enormous experience made by restoring the 57 S Atlantic 57591 EXK-6 of Ralph Lauren.
Starting in 1934, Bugatti managed to build around 800 Type 57s in various configurations. The chassis was rather successful by high-end pre-war standards. Yet its most famous evolutions, the Aérolithe prototype and the following Atlantic Coupés just couldn't find customers.
