Ettore Bugatti presented Type 57, an extremely elegant luxury touring car coupe designed by his son Jean with a 3.5-litre DOHC in-line straight eight cylinder. Based on this, the racing version of the Roadster 57 C "Tank" and the famous Atalante Coupe Bugatti 57 S were released in 1936. The Bugatti icon is the slim 200-hp Bugatti 57 SC Atlantic racing coupe. Today probably the most valuable classic ever (two out of four still exist). After the start of the war, production in Molsheim ended in 1940, marking the end of the Bugatti era.
