T57S Atlantic inspired design 47kB
Exoticars-in-utero are a dime a dozen, despite their inevitable
and annoying quarter-million-dollar pricetags. International
Automotive Design unveiled their proposal for a new Bugatti
coupe at the 1994 Society of Automotive Engineers International
Congress in Detroit, knocking the socks off everyone in atten-
dance except pehaps the exoticar builder itself. The 1:4-scale
model's styling descends directly from the pre-war Bugatti 57SC
Atlantic coupe, and it's about the slickest retrostyle proposal seen
yet. Trouble is, don't expect to see it in the flesh; International
Automotive Design is using the design to drum up business for
their west coast design center, not to flesh out a contract from the
Bugatti factory - which is quite a pity.
