Bugatti Type 57 Galibier

• Manufactured in 1939
• 8 cylinders
• 3.3 litres
• 135 horsepower

The Bugatti Type 57 and later variants (including the famous Atlantic and Atalante) was an entirely new design created by Jean Bugatti, son of founder Ettore, and was named after the Col du Galibier pass in the Dauphiné Alps.  Type 57s were built from 1934 through 1940, with a total of 710 examples produced.

The original Type 57 was a touring car model produced from 1934 through 1940. It used the 3.3 L (3,257 cc; 198 cu in) engine from the Type 59 Grand Prix cars, producing 135 hp (100 kW). Top speed was 153 km/h (95 mph).

It rode on a 3,302 mm wheelbase and had a 1,349 mm wide track. Road-going versions weighed about 950 kg. Hydraulic brakes replaced the cable-operated units in 1938, a modification Ettore Bugatti hotly contested.

The original road-going Type 57 included a smaller version of the Royale’s square-bottom horseshoe grille. The sides of the engine compartment were covered with thermostatically-controlled shutters. It was a tall car, contrary to the tastes of the time.
