Amalgam Bugatti Type 57SC Gangloff Cabriolet | Limited Edition 1/8

Description

Amalgam Bugatti Type 57SC Gangloff Cabriolet 1:8

One of only three examples crafted during this era, this Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic was ordered by Frenchman Philippe Levy in this wonderfully Art Deco-appropriate colour scheme. Levy commissioned a one-off body from the legendary Swiss-French coachbuilder Gangloff, whose company headquarters were located in Colmar, not far from the Bugatti factory in Molsheim.

With a top speed of 201 km/h (125 mph), Bugattis of the 1930s were not only among the most mysterious and exclusive, but also the fastest cars of their time. As true „supercars“ of their era, embodying the glamour of that epoch, Ettore Bugatti's creations are rightly among the most sought-after classics of all time today.

This Bugatti Type 57SC Gangloff is one of the many impressive vehicles from Ralph Lauren's collection. He was kind enough to grant us permission to use our high-precision digital scanning technology on his original vehicle, enabling us to recreate every detail to scale. This meticulously detailed model was handcrafted and finished in our workshops. We worked closely with the original paint finishes, materials, archive images, and manufacturer's drawings for reference. Furthermore, the prototype model was thoroughly inspected by the manufacturer's engineers and designers to ensure an absolutely authentic representation.

The Bugatti Type 57SC Gangloff Cabriolet is limited to just 199 units.
